1.44 Ct Natural Swiss Blue Topaz – Shield Fancy Cut

1.44 Ct  Natural Swiss Blue Topaz  – Shield Fancy Cut

A 1.44 carat Swiss Blue Topaz in a shield fancy cut  an uncommon choice that makes this stone immediately distinctive among standard round and oval loose stones.

Swiss Blue is the most saturated of the blue topaz colour grades: a clear, even, medium-to-deep blue with strong brightness and excellent transparency. This stone measures 7.78 × 5.88 × 4.16 mm, giving it a compact but well-proportioned profile that suits a bezel or custom tension setting particularly well. The shield outline — a bold geometric silhouette with angled corners and a pointed base — gives a jeweller significant creative latitude, working equally well as a solitaire centrepiece or as a feature stone in a non-traditional ring design.

Treatment is irradiation, which is the universal and accepted industry standard for producing Swiss Blue colour in topaz — stable, permanent, and fully disclosed.

For collectors and custom commissions

Shield-cut stones are not commonly stocked — most loose topaz is cut to round, oval, or standard calibrated shapes for ease of setting. If you are a collector seeking an unusual geometric cut, or a designer planning a bespoke piece, this stone offers a starting point that most jewellers will not have on hand. Our in-house gemmologist is available to discuss custom setting options in 18k yellow, white, or rose gold.

A note on Swiss Blue topaz

Topaz is a hard, durable gemstone at 8 on the Mohs scale — harder than most coloured stones and well suited to daily wear in a protected setting. Swiss Blue sits between the lighter Sky Blue and the deeper London Blue on the colour spectrum, offering a clean, saturated tone that photographs well and holds its visual weight against both white and yellow metals.
