Dive into the summer with Blue and Green diamonds

A collection of blue diamonds and green diamonds, arranged against a light gradient background.

As the temperatures rise, our minds start dreaming of destinations to cool down; such as turquoise beaches, and emerald lakes. Summer is the season to enjoy being under the sun, connecting with nature, and relaxing.

Our minds seem to be wired to find calm and peace in the presence of blue. Perhaps because we’ve been contemplating the skies for millennia, and finding sustenance and security near bodies of water. Whichever the reason, no one can deny blue brings a sense of stability and freedom.

Something similar occurs with green; reminds us of vast meadows, rich forests, and lush jungles. We associate it with harmony, abundance, renewal, and growth.

Besides the evident purpose of adornment, jewelry can become a storytelling medium; allowing the wearer to express their personality, remember a loved one, manifest certain virtues, or take them back to a special moment in time. All of this is possible thanks to the emotional power of colors.

Luminous blues worthy of royalty

For a long period in human history, natural blue pigments were extremely valuable due to limited sources. Thus, blue was associated with royalty and wealth. If you prefer deeper hues, then you’ll adore this selection:

Crystalline calmness

Diamond shapes have their own symbolism; soft, rounded cuts are often deemed feminine or romantic, whereas squared forms tend to be described as elegant and refined. The Marquise cut is believed to be shaped after the lips of the Marquise de Pompadour, the official chief mistress of King Louis XV. Although less used nowadays, this diamond cut was also known as navette for its boat-like shape.

Whether you find a connection to love or the sea, there’s no doubt this 0.12 ct Marquise cut Blue diamond will become a treasured source of inspiration for its wearer.

Natural color diamonds can display very deep colors, which some could find intimidating. If you’re looking for something luxurious yet versatile and easy to wear, turn to light tones such as this stunning Round cut Sky diamond. The sparkling, 0.09 ct stone is perfect to add a delicate blue accent to a custom piece. Pair it with white gold to highlight its cool tone or set it in a yellow gold design to create more visual contrast.
