About the stones
Two stones here, each doing something different. London blue topaz is the deepest, inkiest shade in the blue topaz family, almost teal. Nearly all blue topaz starts colourless and is treated to bring that blue out, which is standard and completely stable. Citrine is the warm golden-yellow member of the quartz family, and it's where the pairing gets its warmth. 

Hardness: topaz 8, citrine 7 on the Mohs scale
Birthstones in the pair: citrine and blue topaz both stand in for November, and blue topaz is a popular modern choice for December

Come and see them in the cabinet at Craigieburn. That warm-and-cool pairing really shows itself in person. And if you'd like your own version, different stones or a different metal, that's exactly what we do: start with a Bespoke Jewellery Design Consultation.
