A favorite gemstone of the British Royal Family is the blue sapphire. It has been used to represent love & holds much sentiment to many in the family.

A Brief History of Sapphires & Royalty

The association of Royal families and sapphires dates back to the Middle Ages, where the clergy wore blue sapphires to symbolize Heaven and the common person believed that the gemstone attracted divine acts.

In Ancient Greece & Rome, sapphires were believed to have protected you from harm, envy and bad spirits, so were often worn by leaders.

Sapphires have adorned many royal crowns, gowns, jewelry and robes for as long as we can remember.

Symbolism of Sapphires

The blue sapphire has been thought to bring wisdom to its wearer. It is also believed to be the gemstone of nobility, truth, sincerity, romance and faithfulness.

Summer is here and we are excited about traveling again. What are your summer plans? Will it be a beach vacation, a long-awaited visit with friends and family, or an exciting adventure to another country? The world awaits! Have you started to pack for your trip yet? You will need to have the right outfits for your destination, but don’t forget about your jewelry.

When choosing jewelry for your trip, think about fashion & safety. You should avoid packing jewelry that you would be devastated if it got lost or stolen. Your expensive and sentimental jewelry should be put in a safety deposit box or hidden away as safely as possible while you are away. You want your trip to be carefree & fun! You certainly don’t want to worry about the safety of your precious treasures. For lots of ladies, this includes their engagement rings.

Except for our engagement ring and wedding band, we can often overlook jewelry accessories for our big day.  I have seen the bride who wears it all and the bride who is afraid that the jewels will dominate her dress and opts for a very stark look that begs for a touch of sparkle. Jewelry and accessories can enhance anyone’s style. Here we will discuss the many jewelry options and most important things to consider when selecting your jewels for the day.
