A big round at 14.6mm and 14.8ct, cut with dense brilliant faceting that keeps the whole face busy with light rather than leaving a quiet center, which is the usual failing at this diameter. The blue is vivid and even, holding its saturation from the table out to the girdle. At VVS the material is very clean and transparent right through the considerable depth. The circle is accurately cut and the polish is bright on every facet.
Large rounds are harder to cut well than large fancy shapes, because any asymmetry in the pavilion shows immediately in the pattern. This one holds together. Brazilian topaz reaches its blue through irradiation followed by heating, permanently. Nearly 15ct is a display-scale stone: a statement pendant, a cocktail ring, or simply kept loose. December counts blue topaz among its birthstones.
Natural sky blue topaz, 14.8ct round, sold loose.

About topaz
Topaz is 8 on the Mohs scale, so it resists scratches well, but it has perfect cleavage along one plane, and a sharp knock can split it even when the surface shows no scratches. It suits pendants and earrings, and rings too if worn with care.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: vibration and sudden temperature changes can start a crack along its cleavage.
Wear and storage
Take it off for sport, gardening or heavy work: a sharp knock can split it. Harder stones such as sapphire, ruby and diamond can scratch it, so store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This topaz is irradiated, the usual treatment for this color. Topaz should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath. Ask for gentle pressure when setting, since a hard push can split it.
