Triple Goddess of the Crescent Moon Blue Sapphire & Diamond Ring

The Goddess by the Sea

We’re 50-feet above sea level, 300 feet back. In the summer, we have breakfast on the oak terrace. For three years she walked her two white dogs precisely at 8:45 every morning down on the road looping the freshwater marsh.

Nancy would say, “The goddess is on the road.” I’d put my paper down. She was not dressed like anyone I’ve ever known. She was not dressed for dog walking. She was a runway model at 100 yards. She was tall, young. She wore long flowing skirts in light colors, and she held a good pace with her matching dogs. Her posture was impeccable. I would have sworn she had just stepped off of Mt Olympus. If it was just she who walked through the park we would have noticed, add the two graceful hounds on leashes of equal length, and it was an opening to a French foreign film.

Nancy was as interested with her as I was. At the end of three years, we no longer saw her. I’m surprised neither of us thought to go down on the road and pass her in the opposite direction and just say good morning. We knew the time, 8:45. We never met her; we could have. Some things we put off and then it’s too late.

Recently I said to Nancy, “I have a question about 8:45. remember how our nickname for her was ‘the goddess’?”

Nancy said yes.

“We have a ring called The Triple Goddess of the Crescent Moon. What would you think about a story of the goddess walking in the park?”

Nancy said, “Sounds perfect.”

Triple Goddess of the Crescent Moon

The Goddess of the Crescent Moon is one of our most elegant rings. We make it when we have an extra special gem. I wish we had a hundred gems that qualified. We save special gems just for this ring. The gem must have superlative color. It must have precise cutting. Its clarity must be top notch.

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.
