Special Note:
The stone in this 1988 blue topaz ring is most likely from Brazil. The 1980s saw the rapid spread of technology to create blue topaz by irradiating colorless topaz. As a result, much of the blue topaz on the market during that time was processed colorless topaz from Brazil. "Sky blue" topaz, created through this treatment, was prevalent in Britain at the time and was popular as an affordable colored stone.
