The 35.09 carat blue sapphire is mounted on a ring has now become the most expensive blue sapphire to be ever sold at an auction.

Well, the blue parade doesn’t end there. The Couture Show in Las Vegas showed its tribute to the ocean’s color by showcasing several pieces which either evoked the icy cool blue or the warm clear blue. From blue sapphire to tanzanite and from iolite to turquoise blue seems to be everywhere. Some jewelers being inspired from the Pacific Ocean have captured the color combination in their immortal pieces with sapphires, tanzanite, emeralds, tourmalines and opals whereas others play with symmetrical patterns on earrings with sapphire and kyanite cabochons.

If you really want intense blue, then the heart shaped pendant with eyes on you designed with amethyst and iolite on blue enamel is just for you. The charming owl ring is a statement piece crafted from blue-green tourmaline to capture the ocean’s hue along with blue sapphire, emerald and Royal Blue Moonstone. The blue parade doesn’t seem to end here. Not just pendants and earrings, the bangles also have their share of blue in the form of mismatched tanzanite which grab attention quite seamlessly. Their mismatched quality provides a rare opportunity to stack them to have a stunning velvety blue effect. The turquoise drops reflect the warm see of the Mediterranean which is also like a cool breeze in the scorching summer. These light web earrings are perfect for any summer ensemble.  

It’s not just the warm and cool hues of the mood changing sea that has been captured in the blue items, but also the brightness and confidence of blue. A bright neon Paraiba tourmaline cocktail ring is just that one thing which adds glamour to your look and brightens up your personality. The tourmaline set amidst diamonds on 24 carat gold ring looks inviting and reminds one of the aqua waters of Brazil and also blinds one with its brightness.
