From Sea to Shining Sea Blue Sky Topaz & Diamond Ring

Style #: X4653

The design From Sea to Shining Sea is set with an oval gem flowing east to west across the finger. Women love this. At the open ends of the color center are two sets of three diamonds which graduate out into the wings. All gems are set low, all surfaces are smooth, all gems are securely set. This is a ring to love for generations. This will sound crazy coming from the seller…if you could have only one ring this would be it.

In some part of my romantic imagination, I can see myself 150 years ago as crew on an American clipper ship. The work is hard, the days are long, the food is interesting. After passing the tip of South America, as our ship heads into the Pacific, I see this ring with the sun sparkling like diamonds on blue waves all the way to China.

From Sea to Shining Sea
My Favorite Trade Wind Ring – R.H.P.

I like blue. I like the ocean. I’m fascinated by the comings and goings of the tides. I’m mesmerized by the waves at the shore. I’ve watched the ocean all my life.

Keith is the designer of From Sea to Shining Sea. He spent several years in the navy aboard a ship. He did not hold an illustrious position in the navy. He was crew. He sailed all over the world. He became intrigued with gems and bought gems he liked in the various ports he visited and began making jewelry. He taught himself fine jewelry design. His creations are low profile, solid, practical, wearable, durable, and always beautiful. He remembered crossing the Pacific and its long stretch of open ocean. His From Sea to Shining Sea ring is an oval or round gem, then sparkling light on the water with graduated white diamonds down the sides. This is a ring of legend.

Why We Love This Ring

The ring sits low, it’s smooth to the touch and lies comfortably and naturally on the hand. Because the ring sits low, the gems Keith chooses can’t be too big. He must figure maximum depth together with the length to width ratio to achieve the needle in a haystack perfect size gem, while achieving a spot-on two shades lighter ideal sky-sea blue gem.

I like this ring. I think it’s one of the prettiest lady’s rings in the world today. On the hand, it looks awesome. I would ask Keith to make a dozen, but alas, the gems with all these specifications are just too rare.

The World’s Happiest Places

These are the seven places in the world where the longest lived happiest people live.

Blue Sky Topaz
The Blue Zone Gem

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.
