Mast Landing Sea Blue Sapphire & Diamond Necklace

The launching of a ship was the culmination of years of preparation. Trees were felled. Wood was shaped and planned, parts fitted, beams pegged together by hand. Each step mattered.

The mast was one of the final acts—sometimes raised on land, sometimes after the hull met the water. And then came the launch itself, an auspicious moment. Hundreds gathered. A bottle of Scotch stood ready to mark the instant when effort became motion, when craft became vessel.

Along the East Coast, places still bear the name Mast Landing. These were the sites where great wooden ships were born.

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.
