Center of Our Galaxy Blue Sapphire & Diamond Necklace

Imagine our solar system…it’s big. Our star, the sun, is 93 Million miles away from Earth. Our star, our sun, and our solar system are on the outer reaches of an arm of our spinning galaxy, The Milky Way. The distance of space and time are so vast within our galaxy that it’s a challenge just to think about.

We call this sapphire and diamond piece Center of Our Galaxy. Yes, It’s a black hole at the center, so no one really knows what’s there. Certainly not a blue sapphire, but we can pretend.

So, now, to further stretch our collective imagination. Earth and our sun are at the outer edge. The distance from Earth to the center of our galaxy is 25,000 light years, which means light traveling at 186,000 miles per second would take 25,000 years to reach the center of our galaxy. That’s a very long way away.

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.
