Royal Kensington Blue Sapphire & Diamond Ring

Kensingston

Blue Sapphire & Diamond Ring

Kensington is the rare combination of a luxury lace ring and an active wear design for modern women. Lacework and diamonds exquisitely detail the upper half of the ring. At mid-shoulder, two elongated lotus blossoms are set with sixteen graduated diamonds. Four additional accent diamonds (one each front and back, left and right) are recess-set in a pear motif. Scrolling tracery fills the spaces in between.

Perfectly protected, the center sapphire is snug and secure within its full rim of white gold. Kensington’s surfaces are smooth to the touch, comfortable to wear. Glove-snug and jean-friendly… it’s a little bit of luxury you can take with you wherever you go.

Although it is part of our London Royal Collection, the Kensington is a 21st century American design and is made right here in America. The Kensington and the London Royal Collection derive their inspiration from lacework detail found on palace gates in and around London, England.

Cross’ Passion for Blue Sapphire
Most Jewelers say the darker the better,
We say the bluer the better

People often comment on how blue our sapphires are, how brilliant and pure the color. We believe in blue, pure true blue. True blue is a medium toned blue. True blue is not navy or inky dark. True blue is bright and brilliant. True blue sapphires are shades of blue you can relax into; they calm, comfort and soothe.

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.

Chosen One at a Time

Most jewelers prefer dark sapphires because they are easier to source and easier to match. Our sapphire jewelry starts with the selection of the individual gem. We choose gems one at a time, and evaluate them under different lighting conditions to find the best performing sapphires. The result is a gem which is bright, blue, and brilliant – everything you want in a sapphire.

This process takes more time and it results in the best, brightest, and truest bluest sapphire jewelry. The jewelry is then specially crafted to fit the gem.
