EFFY Sapphire and Diamond Earrings in 14K

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.

14K white gold is the most popular white precious jewelry metal. Its pale glow is the perfect setting for cool-toned gems. Since gold is naturally golden yellow in color, to make 14K white gold, 58.5% gold is alloyed with white metals, usually silver, zinc, palladium, or nickel. These metals also improve the hardness, durability and affordability of white gold jewelry, since pure gold scratches fairly easily. To get that bright shine, most white gold jewelry is also plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
