Sapphire is the next hardest gemstone to diamond, making it ideal for everyday wear.
The original Elizabeth Islands ring we found in an antique store. The gem was bigger, the mounting was bigger, we scaled it down, made it much smaller, and yet, it’s still a substantial ring. It shows a lot of gold, white gold, smooth, polished gold.
An unusual aspect of this ring is the gem sapphire goes east-west across the hand. As you wear this ring it shows a lot of gold. It’s smart, sophisticated, and yet, it is the essence of simplicity of design, Easy on the eye. On the north-south sides of the gem the design appears to be open. The gem’s blue color comes right out to the edge of the ring. We can only do this because of the serious under-structure of the ring…yes, the ring is well made…it will wear a lifetime and a half or more.
The color of the sapphire is not a Boston Blue: dark, dreary, inky navy blue. It’s Cross’ two shades lighter blue. It’s a happy day in August by the shore blue. It’s ocean and sky blue, bright, brilliant, sparkly, lively blue, set against its high polished white background.
In our opening photo the east-west oval sapphire is locked in the design and held securely by two crescent moon set ends. Our photograph looks like two prongs are holding the gem in place. It’s actually light reflecting at the ends of the crescent sweep, it’s a continuous sweep of crescent gold on the east-west ends…it’s all very smooth to the touch.
Elizabeth Islands is a great ring. You can wear it any time of day, almost any place you choose. Low profile, easy, smart, solid, safe, secure, and comfortable too. Elizabeth Islands is a ring so well made you can wear it your lifetime and pass it on to a granddaughter someday.

Our extended ninety days, for a small business, is almost unheard of. Truth is, we shop for gifts too, and rather than scrambling at the last minute and feeling the tension of time, we like this more relaxed approach. We wish everyone did something like this… it would be a kinder, gentler world.
