Nassau Blue Sky Topaz and Diamonds Ring

Blue is the color of health and well-being.
Blue is the color of youth and vitality.
Blue is the color of peace and happiness.

Earth has seven Blue Zones. Seven places where people live longer with vim and vigor. A Blue Zone is not just about more time; it’s more time with a true quality of life. The Blue Zone mindset is about time for discovery, wisdom, and work.

Blue Zones are not merely magic places on the globe. Rather, they are places with a population of people who believe in wellness, people who never stop thinking, participating, or creating. They subscribe to a lifetime of art and imagination, a lifetime of discovery.

People who live to be 100 don’t simply stop at 65. They have 10, 20, 30 years of additional active participation. They have more to contribute.

Do you have to pick up and move to a Blue Zone for an extra 20 years? Do you have to sell your house and say goodbye to your friends and family? Do you move to Japan, Costa Rica, or Sardinia and not see your grandchildren grow up to achieve an extra 20?

A Blue Zone is not about place, although these places exist within our world. Blue Zone is really about attitude, belief, and philosophy. Yes, it would be nice to live in a place where everyone lived for a very long time. Blue Zone living is easier than you might imagine. It’s a decision you make, a decision that exists inside of you. It’s a shift of your consciousness.

Is Blue Sky, Blue Zone
A Gem of Magic?

Yes-maybe-no. It is if you want it to be. It is magic if you choose it to be. It is magic if you decide because living the Blue Zone life simply makes sense. Blue Topaz is an amazing gem. It occurs in various shades of blue. At Cross, we choose the prettiest shades of pastel blue, they are the colors in the middle. Our Blue Sky Topaz is the third hardest gem after diamond which means it’s highly resistant to scuffing and scratching. Blue Topaz has a high refractive index (jeweler talk), which means that when a gem is cut properly, it’s the most sparkly, bright, brilliant pastel blue gem in nature.

Your new Blue Topaz is with you every day to remind you of the guiding principles of what is truly important.

This is an awesome ring. Rich, blue sky topaz gem with a dazzling checkerboard top. Color that is ready to leap off your finger and delight you all day long and into the night. The unusual 10 x 7mm oval, longer than normal – catches and holds the eye. 10 diamonds weigh a total of .18 carat. Low set, comfortable, casual ring.

Why We Love This Ring

First, it’s a big, blue, brilliant ring with a Blue Sky Topaz in the center. It’s not a standard-cut oval gem. It’s larger than a typical and just a whisker shallower than a standard oval so that the bottom of the gem doesn’t touch the finger. It’s close to touching.

The cutting is superb, which makes it super brilliant. The color is August sky blue. It has a double row of beading surrounding the gem that frames it nicely.

On the east—west sides, it has a combined total of ten high white diamonds. The ring is all yellow gold and sits low and smooth on the finger.

This is an unusual ring, having a combined big gem look and low profile setting. We love it.
