Humphrey Trailer Navette

with Topaz blue 4 x 4 mm Princess

The navette pendant is a classic jewelry shape and very elegant. It is delicate, comfortable to wear, and draws attention. It emphasizes the personality of the wearer.

The pendant is matte. All edges are softened and feel smooth. Humphrey uses nickel-free stainless steel.

The colored gemstone is held by the force (tension) of the stainless steel pendant. It seems to literally float. To ensure this, two notches in the shape of the colored gemstone are made using computer-controlled machines.

Humphrey has perfected this setting technique since the mid-90s and offers a 2-year warranty on the secure hold of the gemstone with proper care. However, the lifespan is unlimited. Most jewelry pieces ever produced by Humphrey are still worn today.

The pendant can be worn on a rubber necklace, a snake chain, a Venetian chain, or a cord.

Topaz:

Topaz gets its name from an island in the Red Sea, which was called Topazos in ancient times. However, a different mineral, olivine, was actually mined there, which was long mistaken for topaz. Another explanation of the name traces back to the Sanskrit word Tapas, meaning "fire" or "glow."

Topaz has been known for at least 2000 years and is among the gemstones that form the foundations of the twelve gates to the City of God of the New Jerusalem. These stones were meant to symbolize beauty, brilliance, and protection from enemies.

The colors of topaz range from yellow, light blue, light green, yellow-brown, reddish-brown, red, violet, to colorless. Humphrey uses exclusively blue and white topazes. Many topazes are color-treated. This is also true for our blue topazes, as otherwise they would command enormous prices.

With a rating of 8 on the 10-point Mohs scale, topaz is one of the hardest gemstones – only diamond, sapphire, and ruby are harder.

A colored gemstone brings joy on many days and lasts a lifetime!
