Captivating Sapphire Stud, Drop, Hoop and Clip Earrings

Sapphire gemstone has a fascinating history involving kings, queens and celebrities around the world and throughout time. Sapphire shades range from palest oceanic aqua to disarmingly deep indigo, and each hue suits especially well the colorless clarity of diamonds. Sapphire and diamond earrings utilize this naturally complementary relationship to flatter the face, bring drama to an ensemble and instill confidence in the wearer. Sapphire earrings are not only elegant and sophisticated, but they are also delicate and powerful. The cool tones of white gold and platinum further emphasize sapphire’s icy appearance; rose and yellow gold are rarely combined with it, as they are warmer and can detract from the beauty. Modern earrings focus on a central, eye-catching gem with little additional adornment other than the occasional halo or design of small pave diamonds. Antique earrings, however, are ornate and lavishly embellished.
