Each earring features a royal blue sapphire, perfectly matched for color and cut, and nearly 1 karat of diamonds.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e Sapphires have been prized since the Middle Ages and have consistently been among the most sought-after and highly valued gemstones. In historical tradition the blue color of sapphires symbolized the heavens and was believed to attract divine favor. Early Christian kings wore sapphire rings for protection, ancient Greeks wore sapphires when seeking answers from the oracle, and Hindus used sapphires during worship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In more recent jewelry history, Prince Charles gave Princess Diana a blue sapphire with a diamond halo ring for their engagement in 1981; their son Prince William gave that same ring to Kate Middleton for their engagement in 2010. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sapphires are one of the most practical gemstones for everyday wear and rate 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, just behind diamond. Sapphires are as durable as they are beautiful. While modern, these earrings are stylistically very similar to the blooming halo designs of the Edwardian era.","brand":"vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53879928455497,"sku":"Obg 39.2600A-20240902","price":5095.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/3007\/7769\/files\/file_43e3fa40-b8fb-41f2-851a-92027da8799f.jpg?v=1771345750","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagejewellery.com\/en\/products\/white-gold-entourage-drop-earrings-with-sapphire-a","provider":"Vintage sieraden Amsterdam | Vintage Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
