From the French for 'a thousand grains', the tiny beads of a milgrain accent can add complexity and detail to a Blue Topaz design, as well as create a vintage or antique look. Blue Topaz is known as the gem that has the power to improve one’s communication skills. A blue topaz pendant may make you a more eloquent and confident speaker. Opal symbolizes confidence, clarity, and calmness and is said to promote faith in oneself and hope for the future. Wear an opal pendant to capture these qualities.
