Sea Star Blue Sapphire & Diamond Earrings

Rare Night Star
Reflected on the Sea

This doesn’t happen often, but when it does… First star, brightest star of the evening (yes, I know it’s Venus) and a smooth night sea, a glassy sea will catch and effect the light. There the star is in the sky above and there it is glistening on the sea below. Again, this is rare. But, truly, it’s a type of magic. I imagine this reflection happens on a lake more easily. On the sea it’s rare.

I call these my Sea Star earrings. Long oval blue sapphires, set horizontally east to west like the horizon, and two diamonds north and south – a star above and its reflection below. They’re serious, solid, and brave. Wear these and you will always find your way home.

These are a recent creation. As Keith prepared to show us these he said, “This is the new creation you asked for. You’re going to love it.” I did, we did, the staff really loves them. It’s now a staff favorite.
