HOW
TO CHOOSE
It is important to choose a
gemstone for its beauty, not
its name. Just because Imperial
topaz prices are about ten
times that of citrine, choosing
an Imperial topaz of accessory
quality is meaningless--- at
that level, there is almost
no difference between the two.
Jewelry -quality Imperial topaz,
however, is exceptional, and
can easily be distinguished
from citrine, especially under
incandescent light.
A simple pendant set with a
gem-quality Imperial topaz
weighing a bout three carats
can be purchased in the$2,500
to $4,000 range. It is a highly
recommended gemstone for those
considering what to buy for
their next jewelry purchase.
The value of a three-carat-size
Imperial topaz of jewelry quality
is approximately US $1,200
for the stone alone.
