Following the discovery of Topaz deposits in Brazil in the 18th century, Topaz became a highly sought-after gemstone during the Victorian period. Prized for its beautiful colour and romantic symbolism, pink Topaz was considered a symbol of femininity and romance, associated with matters of the heart. While pink Topaz does exist in nature, it is very rare and mostly pale in color. In order to improve the hue, Pink topaz would typically be set in closed-back settings with a foil backing to intensify the colour. The Topaz in this ring is particularly remarkable, as it exhibits a strong pink hue without the need for any backings.
