Pink topaz and diamond ring, circa 1920. Topaz has been a popular stone since ancient times, and its name is thought to derive from the Sanskrit work tapas, meaning ‘fire’. Prized for its large, clear crystals and high lustre, it comes in a variety of hues, the most famous shades being the golden ‘Imperial’ topazes, and, as seen in this ring, a delicate pastel pink. Cut in the traditional oval step cut style, typical for antique topaz, this charming stone sits at the centre of a classic cluster ring, within a radiating border of millegrain-set brilliant-cut diamonds.
