Sapphires have been among the most popular gemstones used by European jewellery makers throughout the centuries. They adorn the crowns of Europe's monarchies even more frequently than rubies: the English state crown sparkles in the light of 18 sapphires, and the same number adorned that of King Wenceslas of Bohemia. And yet the sapphire shares many characteristics with the ruby, as mineralogists consider both stones to belong to the corundum group. In popular belief, the sapphire is regarded as the stone of truth, loyalty, wisdom and reason. Accordingly, the Doge of Venice wore such a mild, blue stone, set in gold, as a sign of his loyalty and marriage to the sea. Queen Elizabeth I of England also believed that her sapphire could protect her from slander and cunning. But even without these symbolic meanings, the gemstone's mostly dark blue color alone makes it a real feast for the eyes. Two deep blue, natural sapphires with a combined weight of around one carat form the radiant centerpiece of these earrings. Eight brilliant-cut diamonds line each of the sapphires like precious frames. The settings of this pair of stud earrings are crafted from white gold to perfectly accentuate the color of the precious setting. With their classic shape and combination of materials, these earrings from around 1980 remain eminently wearable.
