Looking into Deep Space
Blue Sapphire & Diamond
Necklace
I’ve been looking lately at Hubble images of deep space filled with galaxies, each with billions of stars. Yes, galaxies are not filled with just blue stars; stars come in all colors. The collage of shapes and shades of blue in this necklace reminds me of the millions of galaxies that we can see in our universe. I am amazed by the grandeur of it all, the size of the scope. If we just focus on our own galaxy and the distance from our sun to the opposite side of our galaxy, it would take light traveling at 186,000 miles per second from our sun 200 million years to reach the opposite side of our galaxy. That’s huge.
This is the pure magic of this necklace: the gems are all blue, light pastel to deep blue, and every shade in between. If you are a Star Wars or Star Trek fan, your necklace encompasses the entire galaxy. There are sixteen sapphires of all shapes, plus three natural earth-mined diamonds…everything is here in this circle of gems.
The chain slides freely through open loops in the back. When you wear this necklace, you can feel the sweep of time and all of our stars pulsing together. This is indeed a galactic piece of jewelry, to boldly go where no one has gone before. May the force be with you.
Why We Love This Piece
This is the grand family of blue in natural, earth-mined sapphires in different sizes, shapes, and colors. It’s all here in a defined, helter-skelter pattern. It’s a beautiful piece of jewelry.
If you have stood in a field, far from the city and its manmade lights, and looked to the sky at night, you have seen a tiny portion of our universe. Most of what you have seen are the stars in our galaxy that twinkle in the velvet night sky. There is far more beyond, billions and trillions of galaxies. This necklace is blue sapphire and diamond, your little piece of the night sky and your universe. Wear this and feel the grandeur of it all.
Why a Cross Blue Sapphire is the Best
We love blue. We know blue. We live by the blue sea, beneath summer blue skies. Even 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. Even 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’s bright, brilliant, and is amazingly durable as the second hardest gem to diamond – making it a highly wearable gem. Ideal even for rings. We love blue sapphire; we love it so much that we’ve 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 sunny summer days to candlelit dinners for two. We want your blue sapphire to dazzle you, dazzle your partner, and everyone in any room you choose to visit. Cross blue sapphires are the best.
