One electronically tested 925 silver ladies cast blue topaz and white sapphire ring with a bright polish finish. Condition is new, good workmanship. The featured blue topaz is set within a two tiered white sapphire gallery, supported by split shoulders and completed by a three millimeter wide band. Trademark is Orianne. Identified with markings of "925". Containing: One prong set pear mixed cut natural blue topaz, measuring 23.50 x 17.00 x 10.30mm, 10% bulge factor, approximate weight of 33.77ct., clarity is eye clean, type I, medium, very slightly grayish, very slightly greenish blue color, (GIA vslgB 5/3), cut is good. Transmitting light with no distortion, transparent. Graded in the setting. A deposit of a thin layer has been applied to the topaz to produce the intense color effect. The process utilizes a very high temperature treatment, diffusion of ions into the topaz, plus in some cases neutron bombardment has been used to create the color center. Diffusion processes causes the added ions to become part of the crystal surface with no distinct boundary. Do not put a gem treated in this manner into an ultrasonic cleaner.
