I wish Topaz would consolidate all these different tools into a single interface general workspace so one could preview the effect of combining different models applied in different proportions/orders and sequential or parallel. In the end they are all trying to extract/extrapolate/emphasise signal over noise in one way or another. It sometimes brings an improvement in those cases, but never enough in my experience to truly save the shot.ĭon’t get too hung up on the names and marketing of these programs (presumably intended to be consistent with old ways of thinking about these things to make for an easier sell). I don’t find Sharpen AI to be so effective for basic sharpening tasks, and have only ever used it for very particular movement blur or focus recovery tasks. DeNoise has the “Recover Original Detail” slider which gives you much more fine control over the sharpening compared to what you get in Sharpen AI (oddly enough). This rectangular-shaped stone is shown off beautifully as a London Blue Topaz rose gold ring Other examples include the asscher cut (square) and baguette (thin rectangle).Personally I find Gigapixel (2x) works best for bringing out the feather details while removing the noise (starting from a RAW file works better than JPG), and DeNoise works best if I want to then add additional sharpening on top of this (rarely). Most popular among the step cuts is the emerald cut. You can also adjust the texture by moving, expanding, shrinking, flipping or inverting the texture. You can filter the textures by Group and Category. Studio 2 contains textures like dust, scratches, light leaks, borders, grunge, double exposure, and more. However, the gorgeous color of London Blue Topaz is heightened by the facets. Topaz Studio 2 has over 240 different textures you can apply to your images. With step cuts, there isn’t much sparkle, and inclusions are much harder to hide.
The facets are lined up parallel to each other, allowing a "hall of mirrors" effect. These are the type of cut where rectangular and square facets predominate. Here are the types of cuts frequently seen in London Blue Topaz: Besides the removal of inclusions, gem cutters aim for a specific shape or style of cut when fashioning a gem from the rough. Remember, the topaz clarity review is performed on the finished product, not the rough version of the gem. If a gem cutter is skilled, this can be done effectively without wasting too much of the rough stone. To maximize its place on the London Blue Topaz clarity scale, rough topaz is cut in such a way that most of the inclusions are removed from the finished product. While the size of a gemstone is important to its selling price, for most gemstones clarity is very important. At With Clarity, we set our London Blue Topaz engagement rings with AAA-grade stones.īefore any gemstone is set into jewelry, it is cut and polished. AA or even B is the lowest quality used by independent jewelers, and this material tends to have muted colors and inclusions that are clearly visible under magnification.
Inclusions might be easier to see under magnification, as well. The highest grade of London blue topaz is AAA, which denotes either enhanced color or that the hue is less intense than AAAA.
However, London Blue Topaz is not a natural color, but enhanced. According to the most commonly used scale, AAAA grade topaz has a vibrant natural color and so clear of inclusions that it’s hard to see them under magnification if they’re there at all. There are basically four quality grades of natural topaz: AAAA, AAA, AA, B. However, as a rule, most topaz is already eye clean, making it what the GIA calls a “type 1” gemstone. This means that topaz which is heat treated and/or irradiated often scores higher on the London Blue Topaz clarity scale, increasing its value. While synthetic London Blue Topaz is available, at With Clarity we only sell mined topaz that is treated.Īfter cutting, a finished gemstone is assigned a clarity grade before being set into London Blue Topaz jewelry. In addition to helping produce the blue color, heating improves the clarity of the stone. While irradiation is less common, most colored gemstones sold today are heat treated. Fortunately, this is a permanent color change, so you don’t have to worry about the color fading over time. London Blue Topaz is generally brown or colorless material that’s been irradiated and then heat treated to obtain the dark blue, which does not occur in nature. When naturally blue topaz occurs, it is light in color.
