Deep in the Red Sea, there exists Zabargad Island. This island has great significance to the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians, for this island is where one of the most beautiful gemstones is mined. In fact, this stone is so closely associated with this island, that the Greeks referred to it as "Topazios", which is where the word "topaz" is derived from. Though orange topaz is the birthstone of November, blue topaz is especially significant. It is perhaps the most rare of all the topazes to the found naturally, and because of its rare nature, it is the official gemstone of the state of Texas. When set in 14 karat white gold, the baby blue color that characterizes blue topaz is that much more prominent and eye catching. These earrings are the perfect gift for any occasion - whether celebrating the birth of a boy, a birthday, anniversary, or just because I love you, blue topaz earrings will take her breath away.
