I sat with Andy this morning. He had a collection of just-completed pieces of jewelry. Before he put the pieces into our website waiting room, he asked if I would like to write something on any of the pieces for an email. This piece jumped right out of the group.
I asked Andy what it looked like to him, and he said a futuristic rocket ship. I agreed. We had already named it “Spaceship to the Stars”. Andy asked me what I saw to have given it that name. “The Star Trek era. The spaceship Enterprise and other spacecraft they encountered. Because of the big marquise-cut diamond and the blue sapphire turrets north, south, east, and west, it looks like it has a sense of direction as it proceeds on its voyage.”
As I drilled down deeper into my Trekkie consciousness, I could see an intergalactic staff onboard as they sailed among the stars. If you’re a successful Trekkie, give us a call. We have just one.
This necklace is tariff-free. The sapphire and diamond were acquired before tariffs. The mounting was made in Southeast Asia before tariffs. For the chain, we absorbed the tariff. Gold was $2,600/oz, 25% below current cost. This is the original price.
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.
