Dark blue gems: the must-have of summer 2024

The deep waters of the sea are often associated with vastness and mystery, much like how summer is seen as a season offering open spaces and possibilities for exploration.                          

This inspiration resonates deeply within the world of jewellery, embodied by the profound and enveloping shades of gems such as lapis lazuli, tanzanite, and blue sapphire.                          

These precious stones, with their deep blue hues and mysterious veins, capture the essence of the deep ocean and the adventurous spirit of summer.                                          

In the Enchanté ring in satin yellow gold, Chantecler has chosen to combine diamonds and rock crystal with lapis lazuli. Its intense blue, punctuated by golden nuances, evokes the iridescent waves crashing on the shore. Meanwhile, the Blue Carpet ring by Recarlo features a heart-shaped cut that embodies the classic and timeless beauty of blue sapphire, symbolizing both the tranquility of calm seas and the vigor of stormy waves. This gem was also selected by Acredo for a ring or wedding band that integrates a hint of the ocean into its minimalist gold profiles.
