Mousketeer Memories
& Beach Blanket Bingo
Some things are etched forever in memory. Saw this piece and suddenly it was 1955 and I was 6. The Mouseketeers and Annette Funicello were on tv. Crazy? Yes. Then again, it’s what I saw. Poofy hair curling at the shoulders, big smile. She went on to do a series of beach party movies.
Giving this association and memory might dissuade you, or if you were a fan this may very well be the perfect necklace. 14K yellow gold, 6×4 oval beach-brilliant blue sapphire. One accent diamond at the top, one on the left and right sides. It’s her smile. Poofy hair in gold. 18” gold chain places this 2” from your heart.
Why a Cross Sapphire is the Best
We love blue. We know blue. We live by the blue sea, beneath summer blue skies. Our business is located on a peninsula called Portland, surrounded by saltwater on three sides. We can feel the blue ocean pulsing with every tide. From the rooftop of our building, we can see the open sea. Binoculars show ships coming and going on a blue, blue sea.
We love blue sapphire: It is bright, brilliant and is amazingly durable. As the second hardest gem to diamond, it is a highly wearable gem, ideal for rings. We love blue sapphire… we love it so much that we have traveled to southeast Asia to find first-choice colors. We choose a lighter, brighter blue than most American jewelers because it shows up best under a wide range of real-world lighting conditions. Our blue sapphires look and perform best on everything from sunny days to a candlelit dinner for two.
We want your blue sapphire to dazzle you, dazzle your partner and everyone in any room you visit. Cross’ blue sapphires are the best.
