Blue, Green and Orange Sapphire Earrings

These 38x21 mm earrings are crafted from 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated to enhance their quality. Each pair features three sapphires: one orange, one light blue, and one green. The delicate dragonfly design is complemented by faceted cubic zirconia inlays, which also extend onto the clasp. The combination of stones is striking for its brilliance, lending elegance and femininity to the piece. The elements that give it color are iron and titanium in blue sapphire, and vanadium in violet. Iron determines the yellow and green tones, chromium the pink color, and inclusions of rutile needles produce a silky luster. In ancient European and Indian cultures, it was considered the stone of Saturn, representing the sky, the world of angels, magic, loyalty, and friendship. In antiquity, and even into the Middle Ages, the term sapphire was generally understood to refer to what is now called lapis lazuli. Origin: Sri Lanka. Properties: It provides uprightness, instills good sense, sound judgment, and the ability to structure thoughts. Known as the stone of wisdom. Sign: Pisces
