In Maine’s Western mountains we have blue skies and blue water streams flowing out of the mountains. Lining the streams, we have fiddleheads and ferns along the stream banks. Our Blue Skies, Blue Streams, blue sapphire rings are delicately engraved with fiddlehead patterns and the oval blue sapphire reaches west to east.
The Fiddlehead Ring
Ornament on a ship’s bow
Curved scroll at the head of a violin
Unfurling frond of certain ferns.
Rendered here in richly detailed engraving of shadow and light. Absolutely gorgeous. Low-profile, practical, wearable, durable… a ring to wear and love for a lifetime.

The Fiddlehead was hand-crafted by our founder, William M. Cross in 1924 for this daughter’s 16th birthday. The original Fiddlehead was set with a green Maine tourmaline, also cut and polished by William.
The Fiddlehead Ring was passed down through generations of the Cross family and a was most recently given to William’s great-great-granddaughter. Because there were two great-great-granddaughters, we made another. It came out so beautifully we made a few more. And as they say, “The rest is history.” Choose this ring, share in its history and you too become part of the family.
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.
