Jewelry Combing Sapphires and Diamonds

Clear sparkling diamonds contrast beautifully with colored gemstones. One of the most popular combinations is diamond and sapphire. Sapphires feature a blue color that may be described as a vivid medium dark violet to purplish blue. The Sapphires and clear crystal diamonds make stunning jewelry combinations. A dark blue sapphire surrounded by sparkling diamonds sends the viewer into the celestial realms of the deep blue night sky. There are two schools of thought about how to best combine these stones. You may combine them in one piece or wear them as two separate pieces, one featuring sapphires and the other diamonds. There are myriads of ways to arrange sapphires and diamonds in one piece. A dark blue sapphire may appear as the ring's central stone. Smaller diamonds can then enhance it. Two smaller diamonds may appear as side stones just next to the central sapphire. Or smaller diamonds may surround the sapphire as a pave halo or even double halo. Pave diamonds can also adorn the rest of the ring. Multiple deep blue sapphires set in a trellised like arrangements of supporting pave diamonds make a beautiful bracelet. A beautiful silver, white gold, or platinum ring can be adorned by alternating sapphires and diamonds held in silver settings. An engagement ring may also feature a large central diamond set off on each side by attractive sapphire stones. If you are planning to arrange both sapphires and diamonds in the same ring, keep in mind that many people find the combination is set off best with a white gold or silvery platinum setting. Whichever combination you decide on, don't forget to enhance your diamond's look with clothes that complement the jewelry's color. And if you will be wearing other jewels, be sure to select pieces of equally high quality. Never mix a valuable stone with plastic, wooden, or imitation jewelry. And if you are wearing earrings or a necklace, consider putting your hair up and adding a trace of blue to your eye shadow, as this color will complement the sapphire.
