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>
<p>Pieces of <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-Jewelry-PSPJ.html">pink sapphire jewelry</a> with diamond accents are perfect for this summer—and for many summers to come! Pick one of these daring yet feminine rings for an accent that will light up your look all season long.</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>

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>

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>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR8047SQ.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="7 Carat Emerald Cut Smoky Quartz Ring" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-and-diamond-jewelry-closeup/SPR8047SQ.jpg" width="400" height="318" /></a>The color of the stone that takes the spotlight in the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR8047SQ.html">7 Carat Emerald Cut Smoky Quartz Ring</a> might be understated, but its cut is anything but shy. 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>
<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 <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> showcases the beauty of the emerald cut through both the bright dazzle of a unique gemstone and the colorless sparkle of diamonds.

If so, don’t miss the Asscher-cut <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Rings-GEM.html">gemstone rings</a> that Apples of Gold just added to their collection!</p>
<p>The Assher Cut was developed in Holland in 1902 by Joseph Asscher, a famous jeweler who owned the Asscher Diamond Company (now the Royal Asscher Diamond Company) in Amsterdam. At the time, the round cut brilliant diamond was popular, and the more angular Asscher Cut looked forward to the geometric styles of the Art Deco Period that would catch on in the decades to come. Its perfectly square shape, small step-like facets, blunted corners and flat top were designed to draw the eye into the center of the diamond, bring out its “fire” and give it incredible dazzle. The 58 facets that comprise this cut work together to emphasize the depth of a stone rather than just the surface.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Asscher-Cut-White-Sapphire-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-STLRG-122005WS.html"><img class="alignright" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/STLRG-122005WSCL.jpg" alt="Asscher-Cut White Sapphire Ring in 14K White Gold" width="400" height="311" /></a>This new cut was a variation of a cut that was favored in the 19<sup>th</sup> Century, the cushion cut, and is considered a forerunner of the similar but more rectangular emerald cut.  Although the Asscher Cut has passed its 100<sup>th</sup> birthday, its ability to draw the eye into the center of its incredible sparkle makes it a refreshing choice for modern jewelry.</p>
<p>While the Asscher cut is usually associated with a diamond, it can give a number of gemstones a gorgeous sparkle. Whether showcased solo or accented with diamonds, these gems make any ring that holds them something truly special.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/14K-Rose-Gold-Asscher-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Cluster-Ring-STLRG-71590PSD-R.html"><img class="alignleft" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/STLRG-71590PSD-RC.jpg" alt="14K Rose Gold Asscher-Cut Pink Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring" width="400" height="481" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Asscher-Cut-White-Sapphire-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-STLRG-122005WS.html">Asscher-Cut White Sapphire Ring in 14K White Gold</a> may look like a diamond solitaire at first glance, but it actually features a dazzling white sapphire that’s cut to draw eyes and keep them fixed upon its sparkle. Like all sapphires, it’s second in hardness only to a diamond, making this a piece that that can be passed on to future generations. This 6.5mm gem is held by a shining 14K white gold band for a look that’s sleek and sophisticated. If you’d prefer a different metal to showcase this unique and dazzling stone, this ring is also available in yellow gold, 18k gold or platinum by request.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-Rings-PSR.html">Pink sapphire rings</a> are always brilliant picks, and when one of these rings features an Asscher-cut stone, it becomes even more extraordinary. 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 piece. This ring features a bold 5mm Asscher-Cut Pink Sapphire that serves as the vibrant, sparkling center of a gemstone flower. A total of 20 diamonds, 0.30 carats in all, surround these stones like glimmering petals, as an inner circle of large stones and an outer circle of smaller diamonds provide the perfect accents for the center gem. This dazzling style is also available in several other metal options, including warm, soft <a href="http://applesofgold.com/14K-Rose-Gold-Asscher-Cut-Pink-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Cluster-Ring-STLRG-71590PSD-R.html">rose gold</a>. You can also opt for a larger center stone if you’re looking for a ring that will really stop traffic.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/PSER-1.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2391" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/02-16-2013-pink-sapphire-studs.jpg" alt="" width="523" height="368" /></a>When you think of a sapphire, chances are that you think of a dark blue stone with a deep, slightly mysterious sparkle. However, this indigo gem isn’t the only type of sapphire. A striking pink variety of this stone is equally alluring, with a personality that can wake up any jewelry collection. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Pink-Sapphire-Rings-PSR.html">Pink sapphire rings</a> and earrings are unexpected and a little daring, with a bright personality all their own.</p>
<p>Like all sapphires, pink sapphires are very hard, ranking just below the diamond in their ability to resist scratching and stand up to wear and tear. Thus, <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Sapphire-Rings-RGS.html">sapphire rings</a> and other pieces of jewelry that feature this pink variety of this stone are quite durable and poised to last for generations: they’re easy to care for and difficult to damage.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR4338PS.html"><img class="alignright" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/rings/SPR4338PSC.jpg" alt="Pink Sapphire &amp; Diamond Ring, 14K White Gold" width="270" height="215" /></a>Pink topaz and diamonds are a sophisticated combination as the unique hue of pink sapphire plays against colorless, light-reflecting sparkle. The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/SPR4338PS.html">Pink Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold</a> is an excellent example of these two stones’ ability to complement one another to form truly beautiful pieces. This timeless style features three oval-shaped pink sapphires, totaling 0.75 carats, placing them side by side and accenting them with a cluster of small diamonds on the right and left.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/PRR4051PS.html">14K White Gold Pink Sapphire and Diamond Ring</a> is another gorgeous example of the complementary nature of pink sapphire and diamonds. This modern classic style alternates these two stones to create a look that calls to mind a perfectly beaded bracelet. Over a carat of oval-shaped pink sapphires are interspersed with four smaller round diamonds, allowing both gems to fill a bit of the spotlight.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/PRR4740PS.html"><img class="alignleft" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/rings/PRR4740PSC.jpg" alt="Pink Sapphire and Diamond Wave Ring, 14K White Gold" width="270" height="215" /></a>Pink sapphire is an excellent choice for modern styles as it gives these looks extra pop and a lot of personality. For instance, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/PRR4740PS.html">Pink Sapphire and Diamond Wave Ring in 14K White Gold</a> uses pink topaz and diamonds to create a chic contemporary look that’s both playful and sophisticated. A round pink sapphire sparkles as the centerpiece of this ring, hugged by a band that swoops gracefully around it like two ocean waves dancing in unison. Five channel-set diamonds adorn one side of this band, adding glimmer, as well an asymmetrical touch that contributes to this piece’s modern sensibility.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/PSER-1.html"><img class="alignright" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/gemstone-jewelry/gemstone-earrings/gemstone-stud-earrings/AOGER-RDPT7C.jpg" alt="Pink Sapphire Stud Earrings, 14K White Gold" width="385" height="216" /></a>For a touch of feminine sparkle that will never go out of style, you can’t go wrong with pink sapphire studs such as the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/PSER-1.html">Pink Sapphire Stud Earrings in 14K White Gold</a>. While this style is simple, these earrings add zing to your look with their brilliantly-colored gems. Choose from 4mm, 5mm or 6mm stones for the just the right pop of pink. In addition to this white gold pair, Apples of Gold also carries 14k yellow gold and platinum variations.</p>
<p>Any of these pink sapphire rings or earrings can add a pop of personality to your look as they convey a feeling of fun along with a sense of sophistication. Try one for a zing of bright sparkle and daring yet feminine charm.</p>
