Ideally, you would want a blue topaz of greater than 5 carats in size (or 10mm v 10mm round) and cut in either round/brilliant, square/cushion, or trillion is especially nice.

For earrings backs, you would only need quite small stones and a round or trillion cut would be best to showcase the light through your stunning blue gem. For this purpose, there is a plentiful supply and availability of blue topaz, and many earrings would be readily available to purchase now.
For the larger, dangling earring style, you may need to consider a different shape and larger size. A pear or teardrop shape would be the best for this style of earring.
Similarly to the ring style above, you can surround your topaz with accent diamonds, being sure not to overcrowd or dwarf your centre stone. Just the right amount of accent diamonds will allow your earrings to glimmer beautifully in the sunshine.

Topaz is hard and durable – measuring 8 on the Moh’s scale, just after sapphires, meaning it is a great choice for everyday wear without the concern of damaging the stone from bumps and scratches. The deep blue royal color offers a great alternative to diamonds and sapphires and you are more likely to be able to showcase a larger stone compared to a diamond or sapphire. It also provides a much cheaper option too.
