Sapphire and Diamond Bracelets
Diamond tennis bracelets used to be the gift of choice for women
celebrating an anniversary or birthday but in the last few years you
are just as likely to see sapphire or sapphire and diamond bracelets
in jewelers gift boxes. What color of sapphire goes best with the
diamonds in this type of bracelet may depend on the women's age and
interests.
Deep blue sapphires best suit a woman who is older or in who is in a
profession that implies respect and authority such as a doctor or a
lawyer. Yellow and pink sapphires look great on younger women who
want a more joyful looking casual piece of jewelery.
The great thing about sapphire and diamond bracelets is that they
are a lot more durable than garnet, tanzanite or other gemstones
that are sometimes combined with diamonds. Sapphires have hardness
on the MOH scale of 9. The sapphire's hardness is second only to
that of diamonds, which have the maximum MOH scale hardness of 10.
Only a ruby is just as hard as a sapphire.
If you want the best of both worlds then a sapphire and diamond
bracelet is a good investment. If you choose yellow, green, orange,
or pink sapphires, the bracelet will possess a bit of trendiness and
also a bright flash of color that contrasts nicely with the more
mature look of the diamonds. If you choose the deep blue sapphires
then you have a bracelet that has a more formal look.
Of course how formal a sapphire and diamond bracelet will look that
all depends on the size of the stones in the bracelet as well as the
bracelet's design. Sometimes stones that are tiny seem more suited
for formal wear than oversized gems and sometimes the opposite is
true. It really all depends on how simple or ornate the setting is
for the ruby and diamond bracelet. As a rule of thumb, sapphires set
in silver or platinum look more formal than sapphire and diamonds
set in pink or yellow gold.
