Yes, you are on vacation. You are returning to Mykonos. The town and island. This is your third trip. You know there are a dozen more trips to come. Why you truly love this place, it’s many things. Certainly its people, the charm, and the hidden corners that you’re ready to explore. And while you don’t speak Greek, a smile and hand gestures gain you friends. It’s so many things in this little town of 10,000 that draw you back.
You and your lover came here twice. He is now your husband, which is why you know you will return many times. You’ve even talked about buying a house here on the coast, just outside of town. Another year and you will decide. This year, his gift to you is this ring. He’s always ready with a surprise…a gift when you return to your Greek island. He explained the sapphire is the blue of the sea, the 24 diamonds are the sparkly light on the water. The white tablecloth is the white gold of the ring. He gives each year’s gift in this same restaurant. You love the ring.
Cross’ Passion for Blue Sapphire
Most Jewelers say the darker the better,
We say the bluer the better
People often comment on how blue our sapphires are, how brilliant and pure the color. We believe in blue, pure true blue. True blue is a medium toned blue. True blue is not navy or inky dark. True blue is bright and brilliant. True blue sapphires are shades of blue you can relax into; they calm, comfort and soothe.
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.
Chosen One at a Time
Most jewelers prefer dark sapphires because they are easier to source and easier to match. Our sapphire jewelry starts with the selection of the individual gem. We choose gems one at a time, and evaluate them under different lighting conditions to find the best performing sapphires. The result is a gem which is bright, blue, and brilliant – everything you want in a sapphire.
This process takes more time and it results in the best, brightest, and truest bluest sapphire jewelry. The jewelry is then specially crafted to fit the gem.
