Sapphire Diamond Earrings
Imagine it’s spring. The temperature is 72 degrees, The sky is pastel blue, and the sun is shining. Three weeks ago, you saw a purple Crocus coming up in a part of lawn that has shown you believe to be the great granddaughter of the Crocus you first saw 20 years ago. You know you could almost pin the date on the calendar for the arrival of the Crocus.
This morning however, you’re at the edge of your lawn. The days are longer the air is warmer and you see something you’ve never seen before. There, three feet into the field is a plant with green leaves and white flowers with a blue center. Not a Forget-me-Knot, a true serious blue and in contrast to the white petals which surround.
It’s up to you. You’ve never seen anything like it. Even in a flower store or garden center. The blue is strong, powerful, and pure. You lean in for a closer look and you catch a whiff, a scent, a smell and you love this little flower all the more.
You’re curious because this smells like lemon meringue, raspberries, and blueberries…It’s delicious.
Your first thought is dig it up and bring it into the house. Then, you thought about Lady Slippers and a rule that you believe is true. That A- You can’t dig a Lady Slipper up and transport it to a new location, and B- It is against the law to dig a Lady Slipper up. Maybe this blue centered white flower is so rare, it operates under similar principles.
You think twice about digging and moving. The ecologist in you says let nature be. Enjoy. Don’t touch. And yes, in two weeks the flower may be gone because it’s end of the season came. In mid-May you may be able to come back next year and enjoy the look and scent of this rare flower. No guarantees.
The flower you discover is indeed a one of a kind, a new variety. Nature does invent new things through adaptability and hybridization. What you didn’t realize is that you’re the first person on planet earth to see this new variety.
Our Circle of Light Sapphire Diamond Earrings has two round, blue sapphires and 16 round, natural earth-mined diamonds set in all 14 karat yellow gold. Friction pierced posts… a spot of blue framed in a whorl of brilliant 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.
