Poised Perfectly
Sometimes we choose for no particular reason other than it’s simply pretty. This is how we fell in love with this piece. There is an equivalent balance between the strength of blue and the little dazzling diamonds which surround. Poised perfectly in the shaft of light streaming in from the top left, this is a design to hold your breath… It will look awesome when she wears.
We shop for gems and build designs as though we were going to give the piece to someone we love. As jewelers, we understand beauty and brilliance. Most jewelers know good-better, and best. Most jewelers throw in an extra component called price. Price, too often, is number one in their decision process.
We go for beauty and brilliance. We’re looking for gems possessing a performance level that will outshine and outsparkle all others. We want the piece we create to possess true magic and a beauty that will be memorable to the giver, wearer, and anyone who sees it. Then we price it appropriately.
Ours is not like a grocery store with butter, eggs, and milk, things that have become commodities. Ours is a store where we truly fall in love with the colored gem, then design with exceptional sensitivity to complement the design around it. When we finish, there is often a part of us that likes the completed piece so much that we don’t want to sell it. This is how we feel about this blue sapphire necklace. It’s a big blue gem surrounded by a halo of high-white diamonds.
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.
