Solo Blues
Trumpeter on the Beach
Notes pure, rising, echoing out.
Touching everything: grass, trees, houses.
Touching docks, boats, wind, water, and waves.
Touching people, especially people. People listening, people leaning in.
People at breakfast, a slow, easy toast and jam with tea, type of morning.
People touching, tasting having a good time.
People closing eyes, savoring everything.
I Saw a Guy With a Trumpet
on the Beach
Once, just once, when I was at the shore I saw a black guy early one morning dressed in all white, white pants, white shirt, white sports jacket, even his shoes were white. He stood by the low tide line, away from the world, alone in the fog. He played a tune of lament. It was deep, touching, I’ll never forget.
Solo Blues
Notes Pure, Rising, Curling Flowing
Our Solo Blues sapphire ring is blues played pure and clear, weaving, wandering, swirling, curling, rising, flowing, settling as a blue sapphire forever by the shore.
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.
