“Here in the Serabhai household,” Campbell wrote, “I am having an experience of Indian life that is the best and strongest I have had so far. The mansion itself is something out of a Rajput painting. At breakfast on the veranda, I was thrilled with the sight of a male peacock descending onto the cornice of an adjoining building. It furthered my feeling of being in a Rajput painting, and rendered my experience with Sarabhais dreamily delightful” – Joseph Campbell, Hindu India, 1954-1955
Peacock Blue
Our blue sapphires come from southeast Asia. We search for peacock blue, sky blue, and true blue sapphires that hold a good color at our 43rd parallel. When we get the sapphires back to the States, our light is different at this latitude in the northern half of America. We must choose lighter blue gems because we want our sapphires to sparkle on sunny days and glow on cloudy days.
Once we get our blue gems stateside, we design our rings. We call this ring our Rajput Palace Ring. We design rings for our American market with gems from Southeast Asia. Look Closely at this peacock feather on a black background. Blue is important. Blue is the color Americans love most.
The Rajput Palace ring is trim, neat, and simple. It sits low and close to your hand. There is much to love in this design.
