				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Diamond-Bridal-Sets-DBRS.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3149" alt="05-13-2013 bridal ring collection" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/05-13-2013-bridal-ring-collection.jpg" width="516" height="363" /></a>No matter what sort of jewelry you—or the woman you love—gravitate toward, there’s bridal jewelry to match! Apples of Gold carries over 220 different <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Womens-Wedding-Bands-WW.html">women’s wedding bands</a> and nearly as many diamond bridal sets, which means that there’s a look to suit every bride, both for her walk down the aisle and for every day to follow.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/WEDLW-12W.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Paisley Carved Wedding Band in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/wedding-bands/WEDLW-12WC.jpg" width="385" height="239" /></a><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Vintage-Wedding-Bands-for-Women-VWW.html">Vintage wedding bands for women</a> are particularly popular picks for brides these days. These feminine pieces bring a taste of the past to symbols of love without end, and are beautiful and meaningful ways to celebrate a love that will stand the test of time. While these designs may be inspired by the pieces that were popular several generations ago, their charm and meaning are always in good taste.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/WEDLW-12W.html">Paisley Carved Wedding Band in 14K White Gold</a> is a much-loved example of vintage styles’ appeal. This airy yet substantial 14K white gold style gorgeously displays a gracefully-curving paisley motif, framed by smooth, shining borders.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/WEDSR-1.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="14K White Gold &amp; Rose Gold Wedding Band" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/images/wedding-rings/WEDSR-1C.jpg" width="290" height="288" /></a>Of course, vintage styles aren’t the only way to go! Brides who are fans of modern looks or classic styles with a twist have many designs to choose from, including the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/WEDSR-1.html">14K White Gold and Rose Gold Wedding Band</a>. At first glance, this unique piece appears to be a plain brushed 14K white gold wedding band; however there’s more to this ring than first meets the eye. The sides and inner surface of this ring reveal a soft, warm surprise: shining rose gold. This contrasting color and texture is a creative way to represent the love that you share with only one.</p>
<p>For those in search of a completely coordinated bridal jewelry looks, one of Apples of Gold’s <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Diamond-Bridal-Sets-DBRS.html">diamond bridal sets</a> may be a perfect pick! These pairs of engagement rings and wedding bands are designed for each other, and when they’re nestled side by side they create stunning pictures of the way that a husband and wife who complement one another are truly better together than they are apart.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-Carat-Diamond-Swirl-Bridal-Wedding-Ring-Set-US-ENS3006W-50SET.html"><img class="alignright" alt="1 Carat Diamond Swirl Bridal Wedding Ring Set" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/ENS3006WSETC.jpg" width="385" height="385" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-Carat-Diamond-Swirl-Bridal-Wedding-Ring-Set-US-ENS3006W-50SET.html">1 Carat Diamond Swirl Bridal Wedding Ring Set</a> is an excellent example of a set in which two rings cooperate to form a unified symbol of love that’s more beautiful that either piece could be on its own. A glittering half-carat round diamond is the focal point of this contemporary pairing, and it’s joined by 44 smaller round diamonds that adorn the elegantly-curving bands of the both the engagement ring and the wedding band. These stones sweep up and around the center stone, creating the illusion of a wave of diamonds that washes over the wearer’s finger in perfect harmony. These two rings are perfect for one another and perfect for any bride looking for a modern way to symbolize her connection with the one she loves.</p>
<p>Pieces of bridal jewelry are far more than accessories for the wedding day—they’re lifelong symbols of love! And, a wedding band or bridal jewelry set that perfectly suits your personality is a celebration that you and the one you love are an excellent fit.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Crosses-GEMCR.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3118" alt="05-09-2013 women's gemstone crosses" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/05-09-2013-womens-gemstone-crosses.jpg" width="488" height="409" /></a>True faith remains, no matter what life throws at it. In the good, the bad and the in-between, God can be trusted, and <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Cross-Necklaces-for-Women-CNW.html">cross necklaces for women</a> that feature colored gemstones are a lovely way to remind yourself of His faithfulness in all circumstances.</p>
<p>The Matt Redman song “Blessed Be Your Name” beautifully describes the sort of faith that remains and that is able to praise God in both good times and bad:<a href="http://applesofgold.com/Sapphire-Flower-Cross-Pendant--14K-Yellow-Gold-QGCR-XR866.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Sapphire Flower Cross Pendant, 14K Yellow Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/diamond-crosses/sapphire-flower-cross-pendant-XR866C.jpg" width="375" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"><em>Blessed Be Your Name/In the land that is plentiful/Where Your streams of abundance flow/Blessed be Your name</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"><em>Blessed Be Your name/When I&#8217;m found in the desert place/Though I walk through the wilderness/Blessed Be Your name</em></p>
<p>Faith takes different forms as we walk through life’s joys and challenges, becoming deep and multifaceted as we learn to trust God fully in all circumstances and to give Him glory in every situation. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Crosses-GEMCR.html">Gemstone crosses</a> in a variety of colorful designs are the perfect way to celebrate the many shades of your faith, and the many ways that your Creator has shown Himself to be trustworthy in your life.</p>
<p>The deeply-colored gemstones in the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Sapphire-Flower-Cross-Pendant--14K-Yellow-Gold-QGCR-XR866.html">Sapphire Flower Cross Pendant in 14K Yellow Gold</a> can serve as a reminder that even when life seems the darkest, God will never leave you or forsake you. A single diamond glitters from the center of this striking cross, accented by 12 sapphires that provide richly-hued contrast. Six of these dark blue gems are round stones that surround the center diamond like the petals of a flower, while the remaining six are baguette shaped and form the arms of this statement of faith. A setting and bale of shining 14K yellow gold makes these gemstones stand out and gives this pendant a sense of timeless class.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Princess-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-Cross-Necklace--14K-White-Gold-QGCR-XP2415SP-A.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Princess-Cut Pink Sapphire Cross Necklace, 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-pendants/pink-sapphire-cross-necklace-XP2415SP-AC.jpg" width="325" height="500" /></a>If you’re looking for a gemstone cross with distinctively feminine flair, don’t miss the sparkling <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Princess-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-Cross-Necklace--14K-White-Gold-QGCR-XP2415SP-A.html">Princess-Cut Pink Sapphire Cross Necklace in 14K White Gold</a>! This perfectly pretty pendant is hard to miss as a total of 12 princess-cut pink sapphires, weighing in at over three-quarter carats in all, fill a gleaming white gold cross with eye-catching color. These unique, vibrant gems are accented by tiny diamonds that glimmer from the end of each arm of this budded-style cross, for a look that’s sparkling and sophisticated. At 1 1/8” high including the gleaming 14 white gold bale, this piece is big enough to be noticed, but small enough to retain its feminine charm.</p>
<p>Gemstone cross pendants with red stones are reminders of Christ’s matchless love that was demonstrated by His ultimate sacrifice, and the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/QGCR-XP2526RAA.html">Diamond and Ruby Cross Pendant in 14K White Gold</a> is a gorgeous example. A 2mm-high heart-shaped ruby draws eyes from the center of this cross, while 15 round diamonds accent the arms, held by shining 14K white gold.<a href="http://applesofgold.com/QGCR-XP2526RAA.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Diamond and Ruby Cross Pendant in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/christian-jewelry/cross-pendants/QG-XP2526RAAC.jpg" width="224" height="380" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Womens-Cross-Pendants-WCP.html">Women’s cross pendants</a> that feature colored gemstones are the perfect way to declare the many shades of your faith. One glance at one of these pieces can remind you that you can place your faith fully in your Creator in all situations.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-OV28VMW.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3009" alt="04-26-2013 Unique Gemstone Rings" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/04-26-2013-Unique-Gemstone-Rings.jpg" width="516" height="363" /></a>Pastels are popping up everywhere this spring! From dresses to ballet flats to sunglasses, light greens, pinks and purples are making a splash—and jewelry is no exception. However, unlike a pair of mint green skinny jeans, <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Unique-Gemstone-Rings-UGR.html">unique gemstone rings</a> that feature pastel-colored stones will be just as wearable next season, and for many seasons to come, as they are today.</p>
<p>Pastel-colored gemstone rings are always excellent picks for spring and summer. Stones such as green amethyst, pink sapphire and kunzite are not only on-trend; they provide light-colored sparkle that’s perpetually elegant and refreshing.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Vintage-Leaf-Green-Amethyst-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-HGO-R124GA.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Vintage Leaf Green Amethyst Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/vintage-rings/HGO-R124GAC.jpg" width="400" height="339" /></a><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Green-Amethyst-Rings-GAR.html">Green amethyst rings</a> are particularly refreshing picks for spring and summer. Their soft yet dazzling light green sparkle gorgeously portrays the color of new life, giving off a calming sparkle that somehow manages to be both soothing and full of energy.</p>
<p>For a ring that both display this life-filled color with time-honored, botanically-inspired touches, don’t miss the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Vintage-Leaf-Green-Amethyst-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-HGO-R124GA.html">Vintage Leaf Green Amethyst Ring in 14K White Gold</a>. This feminine piece features a 6mm round topaz and places it on an antique-style band of 14K white gold. A finely-carved leaf motif adorns this band, complementing green amethyst’s ability to portray life and adding a welcome taste of the past. In addition, this ring contains a surprise for the wearer: a tiny heart is hidden in the setting underneath the gemstone, communicating a secret message of affection.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Asscher-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Cluster-Ring-STLRG-71590PSD.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Asscher-Cut Pink Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/STLRG-71590PSDC.jpg" /></a>If you’d rather a bolder take on the pastel trend, try one of Apples of Gold’s <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-Rings-PSR.html">pink sapphire rings</a>. These pieces strike the perfect balance between bold sparkle and a color that’s long been considered the most girly of hues.</p>
<p>While pink sapphire rings of any kind can add an eye-catching touch to any outfit, if you’re looking for one that will really turn heads (for all the right reasons), try the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Asscher-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Cluster-Ring-STLRG-71590PSD.html">Asscher-Cut Pink Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring</a>. This show-stopping piece creates a never-fading blossom that can take any outfit from blah to brilliant. A 5mm Asscher-cut pink sapphire forms the center of this flower, immediately drawing the eye, while diamonds serve as sparkling accents. These glittering stones are arranged in two concentric circles, one inner circle of round stones that are spaced tightly together, an outer circle of smaller diamonds that nestle in between their larger counterparts to create the illusion of multiple layers of petals.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-OV28VMW.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Vintage Rose Kunzite Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/HGO-OV28VMWC.jpg" width="380" height="265" /></a>If you’re attracted to pink, but would rather wear a shade that’s more subdued than the daring hue of pink sapphire, consider the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-OV28VMW.html">Vintage Rose Kunzite Ring in 14K White Gold</a>. This Victorian-inspired ring features an 8mm x 10mm oval-shaped kunzite, a soft pink-hued stone with just a touch of violet. Holding this stone is a setting that’s been lavishly carved with floral motifs, both underneath the stone and cascading down the slender band. This lovely ring is fresh and feminine, perfect for the season.</p>
<p>Gemstone rings that feature light-colored stones are an excellent way to wear the pastel trend. In addition to being spot-on stylish today, they’ll still be in good taste for many seasons to come.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR7769PZ.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2834" alt="04-08-2013 pink topaz" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/04-08-2013-pink-topaz.jpg" width="523" height="368" /></a>We’ve all heard that “April showers bring May flowers,” but when you’re in the midst of this rainy month it can be hard to keep in mind the blooms that will eventually result from the seemingly endless rain. Brightly-colored jewelry such as <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Topaz-Rings-PTRG.html">Pink topaz rings</a> can be an excellent way to add a pop of color that speaks of the promise of things to come.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/2-50-Carat-Cushion-Cut-Pink-Topaz-and-Diamond-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-SPR8017PZ.html"><img class="alignright" alt="2.50 Carat Cushion Cut Pink Topaz and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-rings/SPR8017PZC.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></a><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Jewelry-PJL.html">Pink jewelry</a> is the perfect way to wake up your look, and pink topaz pieces are affordable and glamorous options. Their color is simultaneously daring and girly, with a sophisticated edge that’s sure to turn heads. Whether you’re a fan of styles that are timelessly classy, pieces inspired by the past or designs with a distinctively modern sensibility, pink topaz can add a pop of bright sparkle to your look during the rainy days of April or any day.</p>
<p>If you’re a fan of pieces with glamour that never goes out of style, don’t miss the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/2-50-Carat-Cushion-Cut-Pink-Topaz-and-Diamond-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-SPR8017PZ.html">2.50 Carat Cushion Cut Pink Topaz and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold</a>. This perpetually classy piece is strikingly feminine with big dose of sparkle that will allow it to brighten your spring ensembles year after year. An 8mm cushion-cut pink topaz is the star of this ring, and it’s accented by a total of 42 round diamonds that both surround the center stone and stud the 14K white gold band in two rows, creating the illusion of two bands in one.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Antique-Style-Floral-Pink-Topaz-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-HGO-R136PT.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Antique-Style Floral Pink Topaz Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/vintage-rings/HGO-R136PTC.jpg" width="400" height="356" /></a>When a ring holds a stone as bold as pink topaz, even a style that’s inspired by the past can look bright and fresh. For example, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Antique-Style-Floral-Pink-Topaz-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-HGO-R136PT.html">Antique-Style Floral Pink Topaz Ring in 14K White Gold</a> places a bold 8mm round pink topaz in the center of detailed vintage design, bringing it squarely into the present and giving it a pop of personality that’s anything but stuffy or old-fashioned. Delicate openwork surrounds this striking gem, calling to mind the patterns of Victorian lace, while small flowers carved meticulously into the 14 white gold band add to this ring’s appeal. This piece perfectly balances daring sparkle and feminine charm.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR7769PZ.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Emerald Cut Pink Topaz and Diamond Ring 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-and-diamond-jewelry-closeup/SPR7769PZ.jpg" width="400" height="318" /></a>In addition, a ring doesn’t have to be complicated to wake up your look when it features a brilliant pink gemstone, and pieces such as the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR7769PZ.html">Emerald Cut Pink Topaz and Diamond Ring 14K White Gold</a> serve as indisputable proof. This timelessly gorgeous design places a 10mm-high emerald-cut pink topaz, a full 4.50 carats in weight, inside a frame of dazzling diamonds and places it upon a diamond-studded band. A total of 38 round diamonds serve as supporting players in this glamorous piece, giving it huge dose of colorless sparkle. This14K white gold ring will turn heads on the grayest of days.</p>
<p>Pieces of <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Topaz-Jewelry-PT.html">pink topaz jewelry</a> such as these striking rings are perfect picks when the promised May flowers seems to be overshadowed by present-day showers. Try sliding one on your finger this spring for a fresh pop of bold sparkle that will add a distinctive bright spot to your day.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Sapphire-Rings-RGS.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2808" alt="04-04-2013 GenuineSapphire" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/04-04-2013-GenuineSapphire.jpg" width="497" height="404" /></a>The evenings are finally starting to get longer again! As daylight increases, we often have more opportunities to gaze into the evening sky, and stand in awe as the stars appear. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Sapphire-Rings-RGS.html">Sapphire rings</a> capture the color of the heavens as day fades into night, adding sophistication to your finger any time of day.</p>
<p>Sapphire has been linked to the sky for thousands of years. The ancient Persians believe that earth was balanced atop of a humungous sapphire, and that the shade of this gigantic gemstone was reflected by the heavens. To this day, this gemstone has never failed to catch eyes and imaginations.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/QG-Y4414S.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Three Stone Sapphire Engraved Ring, 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gold-jewelry/gemstone-jewelry/PRR7464SPC.jpg" width="333" height="300" /></a>The deep, rich indigo glimmer of sapphire is always sophisticated, transcending trends and looking chic year after year and decade after decade. As one of the four classic gemstones, it never goes out of style, and it brings an upscale look to a wide range of styles. For instance, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/QG-Y4414S.html">Three Stone Sapphire Engraved Ring in 14K White Gold</a> is an incredibly classy choice. Three sapphires preside over this chic piece; the largest of these gems, a 0.45-carat oval-shaped sapphire, is bookended by two similarly-shaped 0.15 sapphires. These glimmering indigo gems are accented by 10 round diamonds, totaling just over a quarter carat, that stud the band on either side of the three center stones. A repeating motif is carved into three sides of the 14K white gold band, accenting the stones it displays.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R95SPW.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Sapphire and Diamond Heart Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/vintage-rings/HGO-R95SPWC.jpg" width="375" height="251" /></a>The timeless beauty of sapphire makes it an especially fitting pick for styles that are inspired by times past, such as the Victorian Era and the Art Deco Period. The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R95SPW.html">Sapphire and Diamond Heart Ring in 14K White Gold</a> is an excellent example of the beauty of vintage sapphire styles. A 5mm round sapphire is this ring’s main attraction, set in a hexagon of 14K white gold. This timeless stone is accented by two smaller round diamonds, each of which is framed by a delicate carved heart. Like all <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Sapphire-and-Diamond-Rings-SDR.html">sapphire and diamond rings</a>, this piece calls to mind the sparkle of stars in the night sky, as colorless dazzle gorgeously contrasts with deep blue glimmer.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R128SPWB21.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Antique-Style Sapphire Wedding Ring Set" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/vintage-rings/R128SPWB21C.jpg" width="385" height="299" /></a>Sapphire’s timeless beauty allows it to easily represent lasting love, and rings that feature it are unique and meaningful ways to pop the question. Apples of Gold carries a number of sapphire engagement rings, as well as sapphire bridal sets such as the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R128SPWB21.html">Antique-Style Sapphire Wedding Ring Set</a>. Like the aforementioned sapphire and diamond heart ring, this piece is inspired by simpler times, and it displays a meticulously-crafted design that has proven its ability to endure through countless trends. This engagement ring in this set is adorned with a 4.5mm round sapphire, surrounded by a feminine motif of swirls and cutouts. A slender wedding band displays a similar design that curves gracefully alongside its partner.</p>
<p>Pieces of <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Blue-Sapphire-Jewelry-BSJ.html">blue sapphire jewelry</a>, such as these striking rings, are lovely ways to celebrate the longer evenings of early spring. However, the deep, rich indigo glimmer of sapphire makes these pieces fitting picks in any season.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Asscher-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Cluster-Ring-STLRG-71590PSD.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2682" alt="03-21-2013 Pink Sapphire Asscher-Cut &amp; Diamond Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/03-21-2013-Pink-Sapphire-Asscher-Cut-Diamond-Ring.jpg" width="523" height="368" /></a>Today is the first full day of spring, and many of us are on the lookout for the first few flowers to pop up and signal that, after a cold and lifeless winter, the season of rebirth is finally beginning. Whether or not you’ve spotted a few blooms, floral-inspired <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Rings-GEM.html">gemstone rings</a> can provide a celebration of the season.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Aquamarine-Rings-AQ.html">Aquamarine rings</a> are already fitting picks for spring: they display the lively color of the March birthstone, providing a can’t-miss-it reminder that winter is finally over. When these rings are given a floral twist, they become the perfect way to celebrate the season of new life.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Floral-Inspired-Aquamarine-and-Diamond-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-STLRG-121997AQD.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Floral-Inspired Aquamarine and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/STLRG-121997AQDC.jpg" width="400" height="477" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Floral-Inspired-Aquamarine-and-Diamond-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-STLRG-121997AQD.html">Floral-Inspired Aquamarine and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold</a> is a bold 14K white gold take on floral style. A 6.5mm round aquamarine serves as a vibrant light blue center for a flower that will never fail to be in full bloom. A total of 40 diamonds, over a third carat in weight, accent this alluring stone; a dozen of these glittering round stones pair off to form never-fading petals, while the remaining diamonds stud the band, creating the appearance of a glittering stem upholding a one-of-a-kind blossom.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Ruby-Rings-RGR.html">Ruby rings</a> might not be the first pieces to come to mind when you’re considering what to add to your spring ensembles, but a floral-inspired ruby style can be the perfect pick. Rubies have undeniable timeless beauty, and their enduring sparkle is perfect for creating flowers that will last for generations.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Diamond-and-Ruby-Flower-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-PRR4758RB.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Diamond and Ruby Flower Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-rings/PRR4758RBC.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Diamond-and-Ruby-Flower-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-PRR4758RB.html">Diamond and Ruby Flower Ring in 14K White Gold</a> is a gorgeous example of a ruby ring that’s fitting for spring. Seven round 3mm rubies work together to create a striking six-petal flower, while six round diamonds serves as accents on either side like sparkling leaves, providing contrast and reflecting the rich crimson hue of the gemstones they surround. Reminiscent of a red rose or a red carnation, this ring is always in good taste.</p>
<p>Bright colors are more than welcome after a long, drab winter, and pink sapphire is the perfect stone when you’re seeking a wearable symbol that the season of new life has arrived. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-Rings-PSR.html">Pink sapphire rings</a> of many kinds offer pops of unexpected color from a classic precious gemstone and provide lasting celebrations of spring.<a href="http://applesofgold.com/Asscher-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Cluster-Ring-STLRG-71590PSD.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Asscher-Cut Pink Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/STLRG-71590PSDC.jpg" width="400" height="453" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Asscher-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Cluster-Ring-STLRG-71590PSD.html">Asscher-Cut Pink Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring</a> is a truly show-stopping style that captures the joy of the first opening flowers. An Asscher-cut pink sapphire serves as the striking centerpiece of this ring; its unique cut is designed to allow this gem to give off brilliant flashes of light. However, this unexpected but beautiful stone isn’t the only source of this piece’s sparkle: 20 round diamonds form two concentric circles around this ring’s main attraction, providing the look of petals in two sizes. This gorgeous piece is also available in 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, 18K gold or platinum by request.</p>
<p>Rev. Virgil A. Kraft once said, “Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.” Let one of these striking gemstone rings remind you that spring is finally here.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/2-Carat-Antique-Style-Diamond-Bridal-Set-US-ENS3032W-75SET.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2642" alt="03-18-2013 antique-style bridal set" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/03-18-2013-antique-style-bridal-set.jpg" width="523" height="368" /></a>The designs of Victorian and Art Deco-inspired <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Diamond-Bridal-Sets-DBRS.html">bridal sets</a> may be old, but they’re far from outdated. Engagement ring and wedding band sets that are inspired by the past capture the beauty and romanticism of times when life moved at a slower pace, and they’re excellent picks when you want to celebrate a love that seems to make time stand still.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R128WB21.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Antique-Style 1/3 Carat Diamond Wedding Ring Set" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/vintage-rings/HGO-R128WB21C.jpg" width="385" height="294" /></a>The lavishly-detailed patterns of the Victorian Era adorn a number of diamond bridal sets, and these meticulously-crafted feminine looks are just as striking today as they were a century ago. For instance, the engagement ring in the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R128WB21.html">Antique-Style 1/3 Carat Diamond Wedding Ring Set</a> places a round third-carat diamond within a richly-designed 14K white gold setting that keeps the eye moving with a host of swirls and cutouts. Complementing this piece is a perfectly coordinating slender wedding band that reflects the patterns of its partner and perfectly follows its curves.</p>
<p>While white diamonds are classic picks and may seem like the fitting choice for vintage styles, don’t overlook two less-than-traditional variations: blue diamond and black diamonds. These stones bring unexpected personality to looks inspired by the past, and add a sense of fresh style that brings these rings into the present.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/EGR3900BDW-Set.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Blue Diamond 1 Carat Art Deco Bridal Set" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/diamond-rings/EGRBlueSetC.jpg" width="380" height="239" /></a>For instance, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/EGR3900BDW-Set.html">Blue Diamond 1 Carat Art Deco Bridal Set</a> places a brilliant round 1-carat blue diamond within a setting inspired by the 1920s. This eye-catching gemstone emerges from the opening petals of a gleaming lotus flower and is set upon a band covered with engraved leaves and swirling motifs. Complementing this exquisite engagement ring is a wedding band that displays an identical pattern, continuing it in perfectly-matched fashion. This uniquely beautiful ring is also available with a perpetually chic black diamond as the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/EGR3900BLW-Set.html">1 Carat Art Deco Black Diamond Bridal Set</a>, as well as with a traditional dazzling white diamond as the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/EGR3900-Set.html">1 Carat Art Deco Diamond Bridal Set</a>, which incorporates both white and yellow gold.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/2-Carat-Antique-Style-Diamond-Bridal-Set-US-ENS3032W-75SET.html"><img class="alignright" alt="2 Carat Antique Style Diamond Bridal Set" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/engagement-rings/ENS3032WSETC.jpg" width="385" height="385" /></a>Of course, a bridal set doesn’t need an uncommon gem to stand out from the crowd—and on your finger. For example, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/2-Carat-Antique-Style-Diamond-Bridal-Set-US-ENS3032W-75SET.html">2 Carat Antique Style Diamond Bridal Set</a> uses a full two carats of diamonds to create look that will stop traffic. A round 0.75 carat diamond is the centerpiece of the engagement ring in this set, as it rises regally above a host of strong supporting players. Over 150 smaller round diamonds sparkle from both the sides and the top of the bands of both rings, reflecting light from every visible side, while a foundation of shining white gold upholds them. Fine beaded edges offset this pair’s bevy of stones and add textural interest. This vintage style is a stunning celebration of love that’s incredibly precious and that only becomes a greater treasure with the passing of time.</p>
<p>These <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Diamond-Bridal-Sets-DBRS-3.html">diamond bridal sets</a> may display the designs of decades past, but that doesn’t keep them from being stunning in the present. These pairs of engagement rings and wedding bands are dazzling pictures of love that transcends time.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Red-and-Blue-Wings-Butterfly-Pendant-in-14K-Gold-QG-K4230.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Red and Blue Wings Butterfly Pendant in 14K Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/QG-K4230C.jpg" width="442" height="403" /></a>Gold <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Butterfly-Jewelry-BUJ.html">butterfly jewelry</a> has fluttered in at Apples of Gold! This collection of lighthearted and beautiful pendants, earrings and more is full of lovely picks for the coming spring season, and each represents new life in its own unique and gorgeous way.</p>
<p>The butterfly has long represented rebirth and second chances. Having begun life as a caterpillar, it is transformed into a gorgeous creature after what seems like the end, making it the perfect representation of starting over no matter what lies in the past. Pieces that depict it are lovely ways to celebrate a new beginning.</p>
<p>In addition, <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Butterfly-Pendants-BUP.html">butterfly pendants</a> and other pieces of jewelry featuring these beautiful winged creatures are perfect complements to the floral patterns that are popping up this spring. These pieces seem right at home in the midst of fresh seasonal colors and motifs.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/QG-C4499.html"><img class="alignright" alt="14K Rose Gold Butterfly Pendant" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/QG-C4499C.jpg" width="454" height="369" /></a>While gold provides the foundation for the pieces in this collection, several of them are adorned with lavish hues, providing looks that capture the colorful beauty of the creatures they depict. For instance, the wings of the butterfly in the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Red-and-Blue-Wings-Butterfly-Pendant-in-14K-Gold-QG-K4230.html">Red and Blue Wings Butterfly Pendant in 14K Gold</a> are given a stained glass look with artfully-placed touches of color, created with a translucent acrylic coating. This pendant is a truly unique and gorgeous piece. Two similar styles, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Green-and-Black-Wings-Butterfly-Pendant-in-14K-Gold-QG-K4231.html">Green and Black Wings Butterfly Pendant in 14K Gold</a> and the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Black-and-Yellow-Butterfly-Wings-Pendant-in-14K-Gold-QG-K4233.html">Black and Yellow Butterfly Wings Pendant in 14K Gold</a> give this design two new, equally striking looks.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Butterfly-Bangle-Bracelet-in-14K-Yellow-Gold-QG-DB557.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Butterfly Bangle Bracelet in 14K Yellow Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/QG-DB557C.jpg" width="400" height="455" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/QG-C4499.html">14K Rose Gold Butterfly Pendant</a> uses the contrast between two complementary metals to create a sophisticated and striking piece. This majority of this elegant butterfly is crafted from pink-hued rose gold, while rhodium adds eye-catching accents to the wings. It’s a look with hints of feminine vintage style, but also with a sense of contemporary charm.</p>
<p>Of course, butterflies look great on far more than just pendants. For instance, three of them adorn the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Butterfly-Bangle-Bracelet-in-14K-Yellow-Gold-QG-DB557.html">Butterfly Bangle Bracelet in 14K Yellow Gold</a>. The wings of these whimsical creatures are filled with airy filigree-like designs, providing a look that’s both light and feminine. These butterflies sit atop a hinged bangle that allows you slip this bracelet on and off with ease. This exquisite bracelet is crafted from gleaming 14K yellow gold, making it a piece with lasting beauty.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Butterfly-Earrings-in-14K-White-Gold-STLER-84452W.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Butterfly Earrings in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gold-earrings/STLER-84452WC.jpg" width="300" height="300" /></a>Butterflies are also lovely motifs for earrings, and the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Butterfly-Earrings-in-14K-White-Gold-STLER-84452W.html">butterfly Earrings in 14K White Gold</a> are excellent picks. This pair dangles the airy outlines of six butterflies from your ears—three on each side—allowing them to follow your every movement and flutter in time. The 14K white gold from which they’re crafted gives them cool, versatile beauty that will endure for years to some. Fishhook-style posts enable these earrings to be slipped into your ears on a moment’s notice to add a lighthearted and stylish touch to any outfit.</p>
<p>Pieces of butterfly jewelry are lovely picks, whether you choose one for their spring beauty or for their ability to represent new life. Why not let one of these pieces flutter into your look this spring?</p>

As the name suggests, the emerald cut was originally designed for the emerald. Its rectangular shape with cropped corners is a wonderful cut for this green gem, a stone that’s notoriously difficult to cut; however, the emerald cut isn’t just for the emerald! This shape also brings out the beauty of a number of other gemstones, including several stones you don’t see every day.</p>
<p>Emerald-cut gemstones have “stepped” facets, which means that they resemble steps on a staircase. For this reason, this cut is sometimes known as a step cut. While it has fewer facets than some other popular cuts, its facets are larger, allowing it to give off large flashes of light as opposed to a more subtle sparkle. The long lines and geometric look of the emerald cut create a look that’s elegant and full of class, and gives many gemstones the ability to give off dramatic sparkle.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/AOGRG-LBT-1.html"><img class="alignright" alt="5.00 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>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/AOGRG-LBT-1.html">5.00 Carat Emerald-Cut London Blue Topaz and Diamond Ring</a> showcases the emerald cut in simple yet sophisticated fashion. This ring’s starring player is a sizeable London blue topaz, the deepest, richest variety of blue topaz. This stone is over a centimeter high, giving the ring that holds it sense of richness and elegance. Two baguette-cut diamonds hug this striking stone, adding 0.15 carats of colorless sparkle on each side. If you’d like to extend this classy look to your ears, consider purchasing this ring as part of the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Emerald-Cut-London-Blue-Topaz-Ring-and-Earring-Set-AOGRG-LBTSET-1.html">Emerald-Cut London Blue Topaz Ring and Earring Set</a>, which pairs it with coordinating earrings, each adorned with a single 8mm-high stone.</p>

This striking piece features a chic emerald-cut smoky quartz, a full 12mm high, showcasing the long facets of the emerald cut and demonstrating the sophisticated appeal of this unusual gemstone. This name of this subtly-hued stone provides an apt description of its appearance—its sparkles with a tone that falls somewhere between brown and gray and that calls to mind the curls of smoke rising from a fall bonfire. This gem is accented with 0.12 carats of round diamonds that adorn the band as it splits to cradle this ring’s main attraction.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R95TZW.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2520" alt="03-02-2013 vintage tanzanite heart ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/03-02-2013-vintage-tanzanite-heart-ring.jpg" width="523" height="368" /></a>Tanzanite was discovered decades after the Art Deco Period and over a half a century after the Victorian Era, but that doesn’t stop it from adding a unique beauty to jewelry that’s inspired by these times past! <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Tanzanite-Rings-RGT.html">Tanzanite rings</a> that feature vintage styles combine time-honored looks with a fresh-faced gemstone that gives them a burst of new life.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-Carat-Art-Deco-Tanzanite-Engagement-Ring--14K-White-Gold-EGR3900TZW.html"><img class="alignright" alt="1 Carat Art Deco Tanzanite Engagement Ring, 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-rings/EGR3900TZWC.jpg" width="385" height="209" /></a>When compared to stones that have been used as adornments for thousands of years, such as the ruby or the sapphire, tanzanite is still the new kid on the block. This alluring gem was discovered less than 50 years ago, in 1967, near the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Since then, it’s been found only in one small area of the globe, just five miles square.</p>
<p>The color of tanzanite is unlike that of any other stone, and its one-of-a-kind hue makes it an unforgettable way to make a fashion statement, declare your love or even pop the question. A brilliant blue with a touch of violet, this gem calls to mind the color of a cornflower in later summer—except drenched in sparkle.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R128TZWB21.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="Antique-Style Tanzanite Wedding Ring Set" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/vintage-rings/R128TZWB21C.jpg" width="385" height="298" /></a><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Tanzanite-Engagement-Rings-T.html">Tanzanite engagement rings</a> are unexpected but exquisite ways to pop the question. By proposing with a stone that’s found in just one small part of the world, you show the one you love that you think she’s one in a million. The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-Carat-Art-Deco-Tanzanite-Engagement-Ring--14K-White-Gold-EGR3900TZW.html">1 Carat Art Deco Tanzanite Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold</a> is a stunning example. This one-of-a-kind ring gives a 1920s-inspired lotus flower a big touch of lavish cornflower-colored sparkle as a one-carat round tanzanite is revealed by shining, gracefully-opening petals. This uniquely adorned flower sits atop a solid white gold band that’s richly carved with a motif of paisley-like swirls and leaves.  In addition to this stunning 14K white gold ring, this style is available with an eye-catching yellow gold flower in a radiant <a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-Carat-Art-Deco-Tanzanite-Engagement-Ring-EGR3900TZ.html">two-tone style</a>. Or, use it as half of a striking <a href="http://applesofgold.com/1-2-Carat-Art-Deco-Tanzanite-Bridal-Ring-Set--14K-White-Gold-EGR1434TZWSET.html">wedding jewelry set.</a></p>
<p>Tanzanite adds a vibrant touch to a number of engagement ring and wedding band sets, and the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R128TZWB21.html">Antique-Style Tanzanite Wedding Ring Set</a> is a beautiful example. The engagement ring in this Victorian pair surrounds a 4.5mm round tanzanite with an intricately-carved motif of swirls and openwork accents. The coordinating slender wedding band displays a similar motif as it curves to perfectly fit with its partner.  The undeniable feminine charm of this set is brilliantly complemented with the striking sparkle of the stone that it holds.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R95TZW.html"><img class="alignright" alt="Tanzanite and Diamond Heart Ring in 14K White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/vintage-rings/HGO-R95TZWC.jpg" width="375" height="276" /></a>Vintage rings that pair tanzanite with diamonds combine surprising, vibrant color with timeless, versatile sparkle. For instance, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-R95TZW.html">Tanzanite and Diamond Heart Ring in 14K White Gold</a> accents a 5mm round tanzanite with two smaller diamonds, one on each side. These diamonds glimmer from within carved hearts that accent the vintage motif that’s carved into the 14K white gold band. This design is old-fashioned but striking, with big doses of romance and class.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Vintage-Gemstone-Rings-VG.html">Vintage gemstone rings</a> that feature tanzanite give these time-tested styles a breath of fresh air. Try one for the perfect partnership of old and new.</p>
