Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Holiday Things

I’m a blue girl.  Always have been, always will be.  My favorite shade in the Crayola box of 64 was midnight blue.  My first brand new car was a Patriot Blue Jeep Liberty.  My husband has the most beautiful baby blues (twinkle definitely included).  You get the picture.  Obviously, when it comes to jewelry, I’m a sucker for a really nice sapphire… one that shows its color.  While the pastel and cornflower gems are certainly pretty enough, it’s the velvety royal blue sapphires that make my heart skip a beat.  

This dainty antique ring is pure perfection.  Eighteen-karat yellow gold shines in this split-shoulder delicate design.  Eight Old European cut diamonds form a small circle that offers .32 carat of scintillating sparkle.  Nestled in the center of the diamond halo is a singular mixed cut sapphire.  Weighing just over a quarter of a carat, this small but mighty stone could be described as peacock blue.  

Peep the hallmarks in the photo above ascertaining the pedigree of this Victorian beauty.  It measures a scant finger size five – but don’t dismay, it can be sized.  If you’ve been looking for a non-traditional engagement ring, look no further.  Or maybe you’ve been searching for just the right gift this holiday season.  Your search is over.  Priced at just $1,390.00, forget red and green – blue is the color of Christmas this year.
