Exquisite Blue Sapphire Briolette Cut Chandelier Earrings - Celestial Blue

A dream of blue, a gift from the sky. Crafted with blue sapphire briolette cuts, these long chandelier earrings cascade with dazzling sparkle. The sapphire's unique blue, reminiscent of indigo dye, shimmers and links together. This piece features sapphires in a pale hue. Sapphire, a gemstone second only to diamond in hardness, illuminates your ears with exquisite sparkle, even in small sizes. They can shimmer alongside flowing hair, or sway elegantly near the nape of the neck when hair is swept up. The small, linked stones ensure they are not overwhelming, even with short or bob hairstyles. Even for us, who constantly offer a wide selection of natural stones, designs like this, which use many sapphires—a particularly rare blue gemstone—are rarely produced. This is a highly anticipated, special release. If you've been searching for blue sapphire earrings, please consider them at this opportunity.

Belonging to the hexagonal crystal system with a Mohs hardness of 9, it is the second hardest mineral after diamond. The name originates from the Latin word "sapphirus," meaning blue. It is called the "Jewel of the Heavens" and "Jewel of the Sky" due to its varied blue hues, mirroring the sky throughout the day. *Sapphires in this piece may exhibit inclusions (internal cracks, dark spots, etc.) depending on the stone. [Bonus Column: Sapphire, the Navel of the World] Sapphire is a mineral species called corundum, composed of aluminum and oxygen. It exists in igneous and metamorphic rocks that do not contain silicon. Have you ever searched for clear sand or small pebbles in your schoolyard as a child? That is silicon. Since silicon is abundant in the Earth's crust, environments devoid of silicon are extremely rare and limited to metamorphic zones of ultra-high temperature and pressure. This occurred approximately 700 to 500 million years ago at the center of a supercontinent called Gondwana. Gondwana was a supercontinent of that era, and its center formed a metamorphic zone where most of the continents we know today collided, creating the conditions for the formation of corundum (sapphire), with a Mohs hardness of 9. Regions like Mozambique in Africa, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and the Indian subcontinent were all joined together, and in this rare central environment, metamorphic sapphires were formed (volcanic sapphires also exist). Rather than sapphires being sourced from various locations, the single place where sapphires formed later dispersed across the world. Sapphire is, in a sense, evidence of the Earth's former "navel." Collecting sapphires holds a romance akin to gathering fragments of the Earth. Since the Earth's crustal energy has decreased since 700 million years ago, events like the formation of the Gondwana supercontinent may be a phenomenon that occurs only once in Earth's history. Each small, beautiful sapphire holds the Earth's heartbeat within it. 14KGF Sapphire Precious Stone One of the Four Great Precious Stones Precious Stone Gold Natural Stone Jewelry Accessory Colored Stone Stone Simple Handmade Gift Lucky Miracle Rare Stone Christmas Birthstone Smooth Chain Twinkling Stone Rare Exquisite Stone Lucky Item Exquisite Briolette Drop Lifelong Piece Earrings Long Earrings Chandelier Earrings Stone Earrings Jewelry Lipatti
