The Steadfast Sapphires to Celebrate – JCK

[ad_1]

Well hello there, September! If you look back through my yearly sapphire-related posts (always this same time of year), I fear that you’ll find me to be a broken record. The phrase “What is there to say about sapphire that hasn’t already been said?” is surely present at least a couple of times (and make this article count for one more).

Omi Prive sapphire ring — Ring in platinum with 11.75 ct. oval sapphire, 1.73 cts. t.w. round sapphires, and 0.62 ct. t.w. diamonds, price on request; **Omi Privé**

Penny Preville sapphire bangle — Ombré bangle bracelet in white gold with 1.95 cts. t.w. sapphires, $5,995; **Penny Preville**

So, year after year, I strive to think of something new to add to the narrative of this beloved stone. This superhero of the jewelry world, star of treasured family heirlooms and engagement rings, and birthstone pendants and everyday stud earrings. Apart from diamond, I dare say that no stone comes close to ranking as high on the popularity scale as sapphire, and that is a status it deserves.

K.Mita sapphire ring — Ring in 18k yellow gold and palladium white gold with 1.17 ct. sapphire and 0.04 ct. diamond, $3,370; **K.Mita**

Eriness blue sapphire Disco Ball wire earrings — Disco Ball wire earrings in 14k yellow gold with 2.3 cts. t.w. blue sapphires, $1,825; **Eriness**

Alex Sepkus sapphire Circle ring — Circle ring in 18 yellow gold with blue sapphire and diamonds, $5,010 (center stone not included); **Alex Šepkus**

Hatai Jewelry sapphire bangles — Bangle in 22k gold-plated sterling silver with blue sapphire cabochons, price on request; **Hatai Jewelry**

So why, then, do I feel I have been ignoring it recently? It is a testament to how finicky and spoiled this jewelry fan can be, scrolling through Instagram feeds and designer’s websites, wanting to score that love at first sight feeling, that one that makes you say “Oh, wow” out loud.

Coast Diamond sapphire ring — Ring in platinum with 8.18 ct. sapphire and 1 ct. t.w. diamonds, $116,790; **Coast Diamond**

Often, I seek the sensation I’m looking for with a visit to Cheryl Kremkow’s Instagram feed (@kremkow). There, the Gem Obsessed (the name of Kremkow’s website) cultivate some of the most spectacular findings from jewelry shows and events, through her beyond excellent photography. The rich pictures depict creations with opals (always a crowd-pleaser), tourmaline of all sorts, emeralds, and moonstones, to name some of the common findings.

Kavant Sharart sapphire and diamond earrings — Earrings in 18k white gold with 10.32 cts. t.w. sapphires and 2 cts. t.w. diamonds, $20,900; **Kavant & Sharart**

Joshua J sapphire ring — Ring in platinum with 10.06 ct. cushion-cut sapphire, 2.5 cts. t.w. round diamonds, and 2.99 cts. t.w. trapezoid diamonds, price on request; **Joshua J.**

Annie James sapphire pendant — Pendant in 14k white gold with 5 mm sapphire and 0.03 ct. diamond, $2,200; **Annie James**

Sapphire is present, though, if not as often as one might expect, and displays its ability to shine as both an accent stone and a centerpiece, in its vivid array of colors.

925Suneera evil eye cuff bracelet — Evil eye cuff bracelet in sterling silver with sapphire, $805; **925Suneera**

I think we all love sapphire, and it’s like a comfortable relationship that sometimes needs a little spark to get the engines revving again. Sapphire is so reliably wonderful, it’s easy to take it for granted.

Andreoli sapphire and diamond ring — Ring in 18k white gold with 31.02 ct. no-heat Ceylon sapphire and 2.8 cts. t.w. rose-cut diamonds, price on request; **Andreoli**

Alina Abegg Alien huggie earrings — Alien huggies in 14k white gold with blue sapphires, €1,930 ($2,126); **Alina Abegg**

Kattan sapphire ring — Ring in 18k white gold with 4.07 cts. t.w. sapphires and diamonds, price on request; **Kattan**

It shouldn’t take an insanely incredible example of sapphire to serve as a reminder of what makes this precious stone so phenomenal—but it doesn’t hurt. So here’s a good mix: mega-gemstone sapphire jewels and some of the loveliest pieces peppered with September’s birthstone.

Michelle Oh sapphire ring — Ring in 18k yellow gold with 0.9 ct. sapphire, $2,420; **Michelle Oh**

IO Collective sapphire Kennedy ring — Kennedy ring in 18k yellow gold with 1.1 ct. Australian sapphire and 0.12 ct. t.w. diamonds, $3,410; **IO Collective**

Kaali Designs Maya sapphire band — Maya wedding band in 14k yellow gold with sapphires, $2,235; **Kaali Designs**
