EFFY Sapphire and Diamond Drop Earrings in 18K White Gold

The gem of the heavens, sapphire is the most beautiful blue gem. The ancient Persians believed reflections from a giant sapphire color the sky blue. But sapphire is more than just blue. Sapphires come in a whole rainbow of inspiring colors: including the rose pink of dawn, sunset orange, and sunny yellow. The ancient Greeks believed that wearing sapphire gives you wisdom. September’s birthstone has long symbolized truth, faithfulness, and the soul. Sapphire is the gem of the 5th and 45th anniversaries.

Creating 18K white gold is jeweler’s alchemy. To make luxurious 18K white gold, 75% pure golden yellow gold is alloyed with 25% white metals, usually silver, zinc, or palladium. These metals also increase its durability and hardness. To get that bright white shine, most 18K white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
