Sterling Silver Mystic Topaz Oval Studs

Topaz is a natural gemstone, if exposed to sudden changes of temperature or knocked it can be brittle.
Mystic topaz has been treated with a thin film of titanium and extra care must be taken to preserve this and retain its colours.
The safest recommendation therefore is to avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaning and simply use hand warm water and a bit of soap. Wash gently with a soft cloth or toothbrush and pat dry after.
