Her Hair Was Dark, Almost Black
Sapphire And Diamond Necklace
I’ve never spoken of this before. For several years I attended an Episcopal Church. There was a woman with dark hair. I don’t remember her name. She was attractive, I’d never seen a hair cut like hers. Not quite shoulder length, the left side was slightly longer than the right. I found myself looking longer at her (Not too long, like two seconds. Not even sure why. I thought it was an interesting cut. Always neat, always the same). I looked and i could feel th extra two seconds. It wasn’t staring. I thought nothing of it, and yet the extra seconds created an impression. I don’t believe I’ve thought about it for years.
This necklace struck me the same way. I looked and Sunday morning swept back when i saw the sapphire on the right. This necklace got a second glance because the right side blue sapphire holds the eye just a little longer. Acquire this and you’ll capture an extra two seconds.
We shop for gems and build designs as though we were going to give the piece to someone we love. As jewelers, we understand beauty and brilliance. Most jewelers know good, better, and best. Most jewelers throw in an extra component called price. Price, too often, is number one in their decision process.
We go for beauty and brilliance. We’re looking for gems possessing a performance level that will outshine and outsparkle all others. We want the piece we create to possess true magic and a beauty that will be memorable to the giver, wearer, and anyone who sees it. Then we price it appropriately.
Our store is not like a grocery store with butter, eggs, and milk, things that have become commodities. Ours is a store where we truly fall in love with the colored gem, then design with exceptional sensitivity to complement the design around it. When we finish, there is often a part of us that likes the completed piece so much that we don’t want to sell it. This is how we feel about this blue sapphire
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.
