				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Tension-Set-Pink-Topaz-Solitaire-Ring-US-ENR7806PTW.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3232" alt="05-23-2013 Tension-Set Pink Topaz Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/05-23-2013-Tension-Set-Pink-Topaz-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold.jpg" width="516" height="363" /></a>When a gemstone is as bright and bold as pink topaz, it doesn’t need extra adornment to make a statement. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Solitaire-Rings-GSR.html">Gemstone solitaire rings</a> that feature this striking stone provide solid proof of this fact, and the there’s far more than just one way to wear a sophisticated pink topaz solitaire.</p>
<p>Audrey Hepburn, a lady known for her poise and impeccable taste, was a fan of pink. In her own words,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"><em>“I believe in pink &#8230; I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”</em></p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Topaz-Modern-Solitaire-Ring-US-ENR321PTW.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Pink Topaz Modern Solitaire Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/modern-solitaire-pink-topaz-engagement-ring-white-gold-ENR321PTC.jpg" width="400" height="340" /></a>This much-loved movie star was spot-on when she associated beauty with happiness—after all, a smile elevates anyone’s appearance. And, it’s not surprising that she mentioned pink shortly before talking about this connection: few colors have the ability to solicit a smile quite like this feminine hue. This makes pink topaz rings excellent ways to not only bring on a grin, but to light up your entire face as a result.</p>
<p>Any solitaire ring takes on a bold yet feminine personality when it’s set with a stone as daring and strikingly beautiful as pink topaz, and the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Topaz-Modern-Solitaire-Ring-US-ENR321PTW.html">Pink Topaz Modern Solitaire Ring</a> is a gorgeous example. While, at first glance, this style might look like an ordinary solitaire with a bright stone, the contemporary setting of this ring provides a fresh spin that becomes evident when you take a closer look. This updated single-stone ring features an eye-catching 6.5mm round pink topaz that’s held by a subtly-updated setting. In place of the expected four prongs are four pairs of prongs that secure this gem to a simple band of shining 14K white gold.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Topaz-and-Diamond-Accent-Solitaire-Engagement-Ring-US-ENR7961PTW.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Pink Topaz and Diamond Accent Solitaire Engagement Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/pink-topaz-and-diamond-engagement-ring-ENR7961PTC.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></a>Pink topaz solitaires can serve as stunning <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Engagement-Rings-GEMEGR.html">gemstone engagement rings</a> as their bright color represents a love that’s bold and unashamed. The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Topaz-and-Diamond-Accent-Solitaire-Engagement-Ring-US-ENR7961PTW.html">Pink Topaz and Diamond Accent Solitaire Engagement Ring</a> places a brightly-colored gem in the center of a shining blossom to form a striking representation of a love that’s always vibrant. A round 6mm pink topaz is the centerpiece of this stunning solitaire ring as it’s held by an elegant, feminine setting that’s inspired by an open flower. Four 14K white gold petals cradle this brilliant gem, holding it above a gleaming band. Each of these petals is accented with diamonds and milgrain edges, giving this piece an extra measure of glamour.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Tension-Set-Pink-Topaz-Solitaire-Ring-US-ENR7806PTW.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Tension Set Pink Topaz Solitaire Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/tension-set-pink-topaz-ring-white-gold-ENR7807PTC.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></a>If you’d prefer a modern minimalistic take on the pink topaz style, don’t miss the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Tension-Set-Pink-Topaz-Solitaire-Ring-US-ENR7806PTW.html">Tension Set Pink Topaz Solitaire Ring</a>. This twist on a classic look features a 6.5mm round pink topaz that’s hugged by a unique tension setting that seems to suspend it in midair. Two arms of 14K white gold emerge from the shining band to embrace this gem on the top and bottom in contemporary fashion.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Topaz-Jewelry-PT.html">Pink topaz rings</a> that showcase a single stone are undeniably eye-catching. Try one of these rings for a simple look with major impact.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/SK-DR-3.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Women's Diamond Cross Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/jewelry/diamond-rings/SK-DR-3C.jpg" width="305" height="237" /></a>Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Oklahoma in the aftermath of Monday’s deadly tornado. When disaster strikes, we’re often compelled to pray for all those who have been affected; many times, however, we quickly forget to lift up those who are hurting in prayer. A wearable symbol of faith, such as a <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Cross-Rings-Q.html">cross ring</a>, can serve as a continual reminder to keep praying for those who are mourning the loss of loved ones and trying to rebuild their lives.</p>
<p>A cross ring that’s accented with diamonds is sure to catch your eye, allowing it to call to mind your commitment to pray for those in Oklahoma. For instance, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/SK-DR-3.html">Women&#8217;s Diamond Cross Ring</a> wraps a femininely-styled cross around the wearer’s finger and accents it with five small round diamonds that allow it to reflect light and draw your attention. This cross sits simply on a slender band of 14K white gold, and is a fitting accent for any day.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/GTZR-1.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Cross and Heart Tanzanite and Diamond Ring, 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/images/gemstone-rings/GTZR-1C.jpg" width="295" height="289" /></a>Apples of Gold’s collection of <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Cross-Rings-for-Women-CRGW.html">cross rings for women</a> also contains styles that are adorned with a number of colorful, eye-catching gemstones, and the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/GTZR-1.html">Cross and Heart Tanzanite and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold</a> is a lovely example. A quarter carat oval-shaped tanzanite, 5mm high, sparkles from the center of the cross that adorns this piece; this unique gemstone glimmers with an intriguing purplish-blue hue that gently draws attention to this ring’s symbol of faith. Two hearts are integrated into the graceful cross that holds this stone, as are six accent diamonds. If you prefer a more traditional stone, this style is also available with a sapphire or a ruby in place of the tanzanite.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/CHR-7.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Diamond Cross Ring - 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/Christian/CHR-7C.jpg" width="292" height="254" /></a>Wearable reminders to pray aren’t only for women and Apples of Gold carries a range of <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Cross-Rings-for-Men-CRGM.html">cross rings for men</a> that serve as symbols of your Savior. For instance, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/CHR-7.html">Diamond Cross Ring in 14K White Gold</a> is a distinctly masculine emblem of faith. Six diamonds form a simple cross that adorns the top of this signet-like ring. This bold shining piece narrows toward the back to give it a more comfortable fit, making it a fitting way to call to mind the need to pray on a daily basis. This classy piece is also available in 14K yellow gold or sterling silver, as well as with white topaz in place of diamonds.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/TI-BK23.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Titanium Maltese Cross Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/titanium/TI-BK23C.jpg" width="258" height="258" /></a>If you’d prefer a cool, cotemporary reminder to pray, try a titanium cross ring, such as the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/TI-BK23.html">Titanium Maltese Cross Ring</a>. Black Maltese crosses are carved into this sleek style, creating a modern expression of faith. This classy ring is available in your choice of a matte, polished or satin finish, as well as your pick of widths, from 7mm to 10mm.</p>
<p>No matter what style best suits your fashion sense, a cross ring can serve as a classy and effective reminder to keep the people of Oklahoma in prayer. Every time you look at it, you’ll be reminded that, no matter where you are, you can bring their need before God.</p>

<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Engraved-Hearts-Aquamarine-Ring-US-ENS3612AQW.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Engraved Hearts Aquamarine Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/engraved-hearts-aquamarine-ring-ENS3612AQC.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Engraved-Hearts-Aquamarine-Ring-US-ENS3612AQW.html">Engraved Hearts Aquamarine Ring</a> in 14K white gold leaves no question about the love that’s in your heart. This sweetly-styled piece takes the classic solitaire and gives it a heartfelt update. A 6.5mm aquamarine is the star of this ring; it’s held by four prongs to a unique 14K white gold band that’s been meticulously carved with symbols of your affection. Tiny hearts and swirls adorn three sides of this band, offset with delicate beaded edges for an extra dose of class.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Vintage-Style-Aquamarine-and-Diamond-Ring--14K-White-Gold-US-ENR8464AQW.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Vintage Style Aquamarine and Diamond Ring, 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/vintage-style-aquamarine-ring-ENR8464AQC.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></a><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Aquamarine-and-Diamond-Rings-ADR.html">Aquamarine and diamond rings</a> use the gentle contrast between blue glimmer and colorless sparkle to create eye-catching styles, and they’re lovely picks for the woman who has captured your heart.

<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/SK-GMR-2.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Princess Cut Aquamarine and Diamond Ring, 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/jewelry/gemstone-rings/SK-GMR-2C.jpg" width="354" height="254" /></a>If you’d prefer a modern classic style when popping the question, consider the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/SK-GMR-2.html">Princess Cut Aquamarine and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold</a>.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-2-Carat-Tension-Set-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-US-ENR8948W-50.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3206" alt="05-20-2-13 Tension-Set Rings in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/05-20-2-13-Tension-Set-Rings-in-14K-White-Gold.jpg" width="516" height="363" /></a>The tension setting is unique—it actually makes gemstones seem to float in midair! From colorful pieces for your right hand to <a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-2-Carat-HalfCarat.html">half carat diamond rings</a>, this setting is making a splash for its matchless modern look.</p>
<p>While a tension setting may seem like a precarious way to hold a precious gem, it’s actually quite secure. Despite its name, this setting actually uses compression—not tension—to hold a stone in place in tiny groves that are cut into the band. Due to the high level of pressure that’s exerted on a stone to keep it firmly in place, the tension setting is only suited for gemstones that are quite hard, such as sapphires, rubies and, of course, diamonds.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/ML-F630.html"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px currentColor" alt="Personalized Tension-Set Gemstone Birthstone Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/jewelry/personalized-jewelry/F630C.jpg" width="370" height="171" border="0" /></a>The tension setting is a relatively new: it was invented by Friedrich Becker at Niessing, a German jewelry company, in the 1960s. However, it wasn’t until approximately two decades later that it began to be used in jewelry—and it’s been gaining fans ever since! Tension settings allow more of the gem to be put on display than other settings, such as a prong setting (in which a gem is held by prongs) or a channel-setting (in which a gem in set in a groove, or channel). And, since a tension setting leaves a stone bare on the bottom, it allows the maximum amount of light to pass through that stone, making it seem even more brilliant.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Blue-Titanium-Sapphire-Wedding-Band-Ring-QG-TB418.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Blue Titanium Sapphire Wedding Band Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/QG-TB418C.jpg" width="400" height="468" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/ML-F630.html">Personalized Tension-Set Gemstone Birthstone Ring</a> is a striking example of the tension setting. A 3mm (0.10 carat) round birthstone of your choice is squeezed by the simple,<br />
shining 14K white gold band of this personalized piece, making it a modern way to remember someone you love or to celebrate your own birthday. Each side of this contemporary piece can be engraved with up to eight characters, allowing you to customize it with a name and a date.</p>
<p>Tension settings are an excellent way to add a unique look to wedding jewelry and they’re ideal for celebrating a love that makes you feel as though your heart is floating in midair. The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Blue-Titanium-Sapphire-Wedding-Band-Ring-QG-TB418.html">Blue Titanium Sapphire Wedding Band Ring</a> is a striking example of how a tension-set gem can make a wedding band extraordinary. A tension-set 3.5mm round sapphire seems to float as it’s held by a sleek 6mm-wide titanium band. A stripe of blue wraps around this ring, adding to its modern, colorful appeal, while the titanium that surrounds it has been polished to a nearly mirror-like shine. It’s a truly exquisite <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Blue-Titanium-Wedding-Bands-BB.html">blue titanium wedding band</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-2-Carat-Tension-Set-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-US-ENR8948W-50.html"><img class="alignright" alt="1/2 Carat Tension Set Diamond Engagement Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/tension-set-engagement-ring-white-gold-ENR321C.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></a>The tension setting is also an excellent pick when popping the question, as demonstrated by the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-2-Carat-Tension-Set-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-US-ENR8948W-50.html">1/2 Carat Tension Set Diamond Engagement Ring</a>. This contemporary take on the classic diamond solitaire hugs a half-carat round diamond with two arms of 14K white gold that emerge from a simple, shining band.</p>
<p>A tension setting is a head-turning option, whether you’re looking for a piece to express your love or your fashion sense. This modern pick seems to elevate your look, no matter how you wear it.</p>

However, when this stone is accented with diamonds, feminine, eye-catching contrast results, emphasizing the natural beauty of both gems. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Rings-PSDR.html">Pink sapphire and diamond rings</a> are excellent picks for summer; their brilliantly-colored dazzle is sure to turn heads all season long—and for many summers to come.</p>
<p>Like its more common blue counterpart, pink sapphire is quite hard, ranking just below the diamond and making it a fitting gemstone for those who tend to be a bit rough on their jewelry. Pink sapphire and diamond rings are lasting picks, and they come in styles for nearly every woman.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/PRR4051PS.html"><img class="alignright" alt="14K White Gold Pink Sapphire and Diamond Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/jewelry/gemstone-rings/PRR4051PSC.jpg" width="257" height="129" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/PRR4051PS.html">14K White Gold Pink Sapphire and Diamond Ring</a> is a timelessly beautiful pick. Three oval-shaped pink sapphires, each 5mm wide, adorn this eye-catching ring, interspersed with four round diamonds. These dazzling pink stones total over a carat in weight, and they positively pop against their backdrop of colorless sparkle. Fine beaded edges surround these pink sapphires, framing each one with a touch of class and showcasing the gleaming beauty of 14K white gold. This lovely ring could serve as a unique anniversary ring as well as a striking fashion statement. Its trend-defying beauty will accent your finger with elegance for decades.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/PRR4740PS.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Pink Sapphire and Diamond Wave Ring, 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/rings/PRR4740PSC.jpg" width="270" height="215" /></a>If you’d rather a more modern take on the pink sapphire and diamond pairing, take a look at the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/PRR4740PS.html">Pink Sapphire and Diamond Wave Ring in 14K White Gold</a>. This asymmetrical piece features a 3mm round pink sapphire that seems to float as it’s held in a contemporary tension setting. Two arms of shining 14K white gold emerge from the 2mm-wide band to secure this gem in place, arcing like gentle ocean waves and creating a look that’s sure to draw eyes. The arc on the left of the center stone is adorned with five round channel-set diamonds, adding extra sparkle and emphasizing the modern curves of this lively piece.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-Emerald-Cut-1-2-Carat-Diamond-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-STLRG-121986PSD.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Pink Sapphire Emerald-Cut 1/2 Carat Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/STLRG-121986PSDC.jpg" width="400" height="471" /></a>The bold color of pink sapphire makes it an excellent way to express a love that’s unashamed, and what better time to express such a love than when popping the question? <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-Engagement-Rings-PSER.html">Pink sapphire engagement rings</a> are unexpected but brilliant, and sure to make an impression on the one you love.</p>
<p>If you’re considering proposing with a pink sapphire and diamond ring, consider the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-Emerald-Cut-1-2-Carat-Diamond-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-STLRG-121986PSD.html">Pink Sapphire Emerald-Cut 1/2 Carat Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold</a>. This daring ring gives the classic three-stone style a modern twist in more ways than one. An emerald-cut pink sapphire, 6mm high, serves as the center stone of this bold piece, and it’s flanked by two slightly smaller emerald-cut diamonds, a quarter carat each. With its polished 14K white gold band, vibrantly-colored focal point and geometric shapes, this is a contemporary take on three-stone style with sophistication and enduring appeal.</p>

In addition to the solid swatches of navy that have been popping up in everything from color-blocked dresses to handbags, navy is being paired with white in an array of patterns, ranging from nautical stripes to delicate florals. This color combination is eye-catching and classy, not only in clothing, but also in jewelry, and <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Sapphire-and-Diamond-Rings-SDR.html">sapphire and diamond rings</a> are stunning examples.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Vintage-Style-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-US-ENR8464SPW.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Vintage Style Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/vintage-style-sapphire-ring-ENR8464SPC.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></a>Rings that pair the sapphire and the diamond have a sense of timeless sophistication, whether their style is vintage, contemporary or anywhere in between.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/AQRG-3.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3109" alt="05-08-2013 Trillion-Cut Gemstone Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/05-08-2013-Trillion-Cut-Gemstone-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold.jpg" width="516" height="363" /></a>The trillion cut may not be as popular as a round or princess cut, but it’s no less of a star! This modern shape gives <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Jewelry-J.html">gemstone jewelry</a> of many kinds a chic, contemporary look with its simple, striking shape.</p>
<p>Trillion-cut (also called trilliant-cut) gemstones have, as their name suggests, three sides. It was originally developed in the early 20<sup>th</sup> Century by the Asscher brothers, famous jewelers in Amsterdam, though the Henry Meyer Diamond Company of New York trademarked the modern version of this cut. Today the term trillion cut can refer to a variety of triangular shapes.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR8072GT.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Trillion-Cut Garnet and Diamond Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/diamond-and-gemstone-jewelry/SPR8072GTC.jpg" width="325" height="195" /></a>Many trillion-cut gems have slightly rounded sides, making them excellent picks for serving in a starring role in a variety of gemstone rings. Their look is geometric with a slightly softened sensibility that’s completely modern, hard to miss and that works well in a variety of settings. Here are three diverse ways to wear the trillion cut.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR8072GT.html">Trillion-Cut Garnet and Diamond Ring</a> gorgeously showcases the trillion cut by accenting a three-sided garnet, 0.75 carats in weight, with four small diamonds, one on the right and three in a cluster on the left. These stones are held in modern, asymmetrical fashion by a jaunty setting of 14K white gold that perfectly complements the contrast of deep crimson glimmer and colorless sparkle. If you’re not a huge fan of red gemstones, this style is also available with a number of other center stones.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/AQRG-3.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Trillion Aquamarine Ring with Diamonds in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/images/gemstone-rings/AQRG-3C.jpg" width="316" height="310" /></a>Due to its ability to bring out brilliance and sparkle, the trillion cut is especially beautiful in light-colored stones. This makes <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Aquamarine-Rings-AQ.html">aquamarine rings</a> that feature it exquisite picks, and the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/AQRG-3.html">Trillion Cut Aquamarine Ring with Diamonds in 14K White Gold</a> is a stunning example. This contemporary piece places a 0.75-carat trillion-cut aquamarine in the center of a meticulously crafted design of shining 14K white gold. This swirling openwork motif provides a touch of whimsy, as well as a big dose of feminine sophistication, making it a fitting way to showcase the beauty of the trillion cut, as well as the refreshing light blue sparkle of aquamarine. Two small round diamonds, one on each side, accent the center stone for the perfect finishing touch.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Trillion-Cut-Peridot-and-Diamond-Earrings--14K-White-Gold-SPE7869PD.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Trillion-Cut Peridot and Diamond Earrings, 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-jewelry/gemstone-earrings/SPE7869PDC.jpg" width="385" height="248" /></a><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Earrings-GE.html">Gemstone earrings</a> that feature trillion-cut gemstones are a lovely way to add a modern pop of color to your look, whether you choose a pair of subtle studs or a dazzling dangling design. The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Trillion-Cut-Peridot-and-Diamond-Earrings--14K-White-Gold-SPE7869PD.html">Trillion-Cut Peridot and Diamond Earrings in 14K White Gold</a> place a pair of trillion-cut peridots, each 5mm high and wide, in a setting of sleek white gold and accent each one with a cluster of small round diamonds. The gorgeous green glimmer of peridot, with just a hint of gold, is accentuated by the trillion cut and given a look that’s completely current and classy.</p>
<p>If you haven’t been acquainted with the trillion cut, it’s time to get to know it! Gemstone rings and earrings that feature trillion-cut stones are up to the minute and undeniably sophisticated, and there’s a trillion-cut piece for nearly every taste.</p>

While these colors are undeniably refreshing, a piece of jewelry in a light hue can sometimes get lost in a pastel-heavy ensemble. Richly-colored jewelry in cool colors, such as <a href="http://applesofgold.com/London-Blue-Topaz-Rings-LBTR.html">London blue topaz rings</a>, can provide the perfect counterpoint to the lighter hues of spring.</p>
<p>As the deepest shade of blue topaz, London blue topaz displays a rich color that’s brighter than that of the classic blue precious gemstone, the sapphire. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/London-Blue-Topaz-Jewelry-LB.html">London blue topaz jewelry</a> has a sparkle that’s sophisticated and bright, with a saturated hue that’s never gray or dull. The vibrant, classy glimmer of these pieces makes them the perfect partners for the season’s pastels.</p>

<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/AOGRG-LBT-1.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="5 Carat Emerald-Cut London Blue Topaz and Diamond Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-rings/AOGRG-LBT-1C.jpg" width="350" height="255" /></a>If you’d prefer a bolder look to contrast your seasonal styles, don’t miss the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/AOGRG-LBT-1.html">5 Carat Emerald-Cut London Blue Topaz and Diamond Ring</a>!

A five-carat London blue topaz, over a centimeter high, draws attention as the centerpiece of this ring, while two 0.15-carat baguette-cut diamonds accent it on either side. This bold design’s classic shapes and gorgeously-colored sparkle give it enduring appeal.</p>
<p>London blue topaz is also gorgeous in vintage-inspired rings as it brings a bold, modern hue to time-honored styles.
