Blue; colour of the sky and of the deep seas. And a favorite color amongst royalty and just the ordinary people like you and me. In the U.S. and in Europe blue gets most commonly associated with harmony, faithfulness and confidence.
A gorgeous ring by the American brand LeVian
Popular Color
And it wont’ surprise you perhaps that in these countries it’s been elected by more than one opinion poll as the most popular color. Other than the association with the sky and the sea, it is also connected to ice, cold and sometimes sadness. Blue is a bit of a latecomer in the artistic world. In the earliest days it wasn’t used and as I understood from research: neither was it used in language or literature. Why we see the sky and sea as blue has everything to do with wavelengths of the colors. Blue has one of the shortest wavelengths and this is why we perceive the sky and sea, which have no color really, as blue (Rayleigh Scattering).
Blue Jewelry and queens
In jewelry blue appeared thousands of years ago. Lapis Lazuli, a semi-precious stone that is mined mostly in Afghanistan, was used in art and jewelry. It is still a well beloved stone today. Blue blood is another name for royalty. This year in the Netherlands we welcomed a new king and his wife Maxima became the new queen. Her bubbly and charming personality has captured the hearts of the Dutch people. She wore this astonishing dress by Jan Taminiau; so blue! An absolute showstopper and everyone talked about the dress for days. See how she combined this dress with magnificent pieces of important jewelry.
Blue became also hot in the U.K! As Kate Middleton got engaged with her William, the whole world admired her engagement ring and retailers were jumping in right away selling look-a-likes by the thousands. This traditional looking ring with an enormous sapphire has recaptured the hearts of a younger public. I thought it was charming that a younger public now wanted to wear something so very classical as the ring of Kate Middleton. True classics never go out of style! Blue just always is a suitable choice with its solid nature and the terrific range of shades.
More wonderful examples of blue jewelry, you see how many beautiful shades there are. You cannot go wrong with BLUE !
A stylish snake, this amazing ring is by Giovanni Ferraris. Known for its surprising high end luxury designs. I love how it is just referring to a snake without being obvious.
