Fields of Lupine

Every year in June, my family makes our first trip north to our summer house in mid-coast Maine. We come up knowing that it will be a weekend of uncovering furniture, making beds, and airing out after the long, cold winter. It will be a fun weekend of seeing friends and finding the treasures we left behind, but there will also be work to be done.

The road north is filled with beloved landmarks that we anticipate at each bend. As you head up the Maine coast, there is one main route, and we’ve driven it hundreds of times. We are always elated as we cross the border from New Hampshire into Maine. We smile as we pass the same houses, the same rivers, the same little businesses that we see every year.

And then we see the Lupine. We remember the Lupine! Along the sides of the highway and then up Route 1, there are fields aglow with the soft, purply-blue haze of tall Lupine. Like the landmarks we know by heart, the lupine feels like a part of our Maine; something we know so well and love dearly.

Blue – Purple Color

Our Fields of Lupine necklace and earrings are a beautiful combination of gem briolettes in the blue-purple color palette of Maine Lupine. Grape-purple amethysts, blue-violet Tanzanites, and pastel blue Blue Sky Topaz hang like the pea-like flowers of Maine Lupine. The 14K yellow gold chain and lever-backs are a delicate link holding the briolettes together as they float freely, moving as they dangle from your ears or around your neck in the same way that a breeze moves the lupine flowers in the field.

Why We Love This Collection

We always feel lucky to be able to come to Maine before the summer gets into full swing. The air is cool, the roads and towns are less crowded, and we get to experience the prettiest ride north of the season. Lupine is an invasive plant that has won over the hearts of the people who love Maine. The soft colors of its flowers turn what can be a harsh environment into a soft, pastel beauty.

Our Fields of Lupine Necklace and Earrings have that same magical color and movement found in the lupine growing by the side of the road. It is an opportunity to keep the memory of your first drive of the season up to Maine and the reminder of how lucky you are to be here when the Lupine is in full bloom.

The Blue Zones of Happiness

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, 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 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.
