Tacori Topaz Earrings available at Roman JewelersWe all know the traditional wedding rhyme – “Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue”. Each item in this Old English verse represents a good luck charm a bride should have with her on the big day. We think jewelry is a stylish way to honor this tradition. Inspired by gorgeous blue-hued stones, jewelry with any of these brilliant blues will not only provide good luck but will add beauty and sparkle to any bride:
Aquamarine According to the old traditions, aquamarine promises a happy marriage and is said to bring the woman who wears it joy and wealth. An ideal gem, for loving and married couples. From the light blue of the sky to the deep blue of the sea, aquamarines shine over an extraordinarily beautiful range of mainly light blue colors. Women the world over love it for its fine blue shades which can complement almost any skin or eye color. Its light blue arouses feelings of sympathy, trust, harmony and friendship. Good feelings. Feelings which are based on mutuality and which prove their worth in lasting relationships. The blue of aquamarine is a divine, eternal color because it is the color of the sky. However, aquamarine blue is also the color of water with its life-giving force. And aquamarine really does seem to have captured the lucid blue of the oceans. No wonder, when you consider that according to the saga it originated in the treasure chest of fabulous mermaids, and has, since ancient times, been regarded as the sailors’ lucky stone. Its name is derived from the Latin ‘aqua’ (water) and ‘mare’ (sea). It is said that its strengths are developed to their best advantage when it is placed in water which is bathed in sunlight. Simon G’s exquisite 18 carat earrings from the Passion Collection features an oval cut Aquamarine center stone, surrounded by round white Diamonds, and is perfect for the sophisticated bride.
Blue Sapphire Although, sapphires come in other colors, there is good reason that blue is the favorite! The blue sapphire gives feelings of sympathy and harmony, friendship and loyalty: feelings which belong to qualities that prove their worth in the long term – feelings in which it is not so much effervescent passion that is to the fore, but rather composure, mutual understanding and indestructible trust. Thus the blue of the sapphire has become a color which fits in with everything that is constant and reliable. That is one of the reasons why women in many countries wish for a sapphire ring on their engagement. The sapphire symbolizes loyalty, but at the same time it gives expression to people’s love and longing.
