This lovely topaz and pearl cluster ring dates to the Georgian period. Topaz is believed to derive its name from either the ancient Sanskrit word topas meaning "fire", or for the Ancient Grecian island of Topazios. The gemstone occurs in many places throughout the world, as well as in varied colors including yellow, pink, and colorless to name a few. Topaz mines were discovered in Brazil in the 17th century, a Portuguese-held territory at the time, and the fruits of these mines were shipped to Portugal and traded throughout Europe for use in jewelry. This classic Georgian ring is rendered in bright rose gold. The dazzling peachy-pink hued topaz is backed in foil and haloed by seed pearls ranging in color from warm cream to silvery grey.
