Natural sapphires are surrounded by a halo of sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds in these luxurious 18-carat white gold earrings. Each earring features a royal blue sapphire, perfectly matched in colour and cut, and almost 1 carat of diamonds.
Sapphires have been valued since medieval times and have consistently been one of the most coveted and highly prized gemstones. In historical lore, the blue colour of sapphires symbolised heaven and was said to attract divine favour. Early Christian kings wore sapphire rings to offer them protection, ancient Greeks wore sapphires when seeking answers from the oracle, and Hindus used sapphires during worship.
In more modern jewellery history, Prince Charles gave Princess Diana a blue sapphire with diamond halo ring for their engagement in 1981; their son Prince William gave this same ring to Kate Middleton for their engagement in 2010.
Sapphires are one of the most practical gemstones for everyday use, scoring 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, just behind diamonds. Sapphires are as durable as they are beautiful. Although modern, these earrings are very similar in style to the booming halo designs of the Edwardian era.
