A Touch of Color
Add an eye-catching element to your engagement ring — a colorful stone. Today's brides are choosing sapphires, rubies, emeralds and diamonds that span the rainbow. It may be your favorite color, your birthstone or it might represent a quality important to you. Sapphires are said to represent sincerity and faithfulness; rubies, wholeness and unity; emeralds, hope and truth; and diamonds, love, eternity and strength.
This handcrafted blue sapphire and diamond ring departs elegantly from the traditional. Set in platinum, the ring is perfect for the bride who values individual expression. Jonathan's Jewelers Bedford 603-471-2828 www.jonathansjewelers.com
