Blue Obsession

All precious gems possess these three characteristics. They have beauty, durability, and most of all rarity. Tanzanites go above and beyond these qualities. Not only is their breath-taking blue color mesmerizing, but they are not easily found.

Tanzanites come from only one place on earth, Africa’s Rift Valley, which is located about 25 miles from Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. Unlike diamonds, Tanzanites have only been around since 1967. Many people even predict that all Tanzanites will be mined out with the next 25 years.

Aside from being a rare jewelry piece, Tanzanites have a spiritual meaning. One of Africa’s local tribes, the Massai Tribesmen, give their newborns Tanzanites as a symbol of life and new beginnings. The tribe also uses this gem with other blue beads and clothing to honor fertility and feel connected with nature. In addition, Tanzanite is the official birthstone of December.

Among the celebrities to wear Tanzanites, you can find Shaun Robinson, Cate Blachett, and Penelope Cruz. We love how Penelope Cruz’s tanzanite earrings make her look read carpet- ready!

With its rarity level at its highest, this gem continues to make headlines. From hitting the red carpets to being considered more valuable than diamonds, this gem can be your next greatest jewelry piece.

Ask the staff at George Press to help you find the perfect tanzanite for you. Feel fabulous and unique just like your new tanzanite jewelry piece!

Royal Jewelry

Many of us wear jewelry as an accessory to look and feel fashionable, but many years ago jewelry was used in a different way. Jewelry was a sign of wealth or better yet of royalty.

Some of the best jewelry collections found today belong to royal families through out the world. Among these collections you can find some of the best craftsmanship and antique jewelry designs. From tiaras to engagement rings some of the jewels found are one of a kind.

One of the most famous royals to capture the hearts of many, Princess Diana, is most known for wearing the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara. The tiara has been with the royal family since 1913 and was given as a wedding gift to Princess Diana by the Queen. The tiara is designed with 19 openwork arches decorated with diamonds and oriental pearls.

One of the most extraordinary collections of royal jewelry belongs to Queen Elizabeth II. Today this collection is estimated to be worth over $300 million. Many of the jewelry pieces found among the collection are inherited and have been passed down through history to be worn by royals at special occasions. Royal jewels are considered a sign of stability and continuity for the royal family.

Among her collection, Queen Elizabeth II has made a bold statement with her Brazil Parure jewels. In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II was given this jewelry set by the president of Brazil. The matching necklace and earrings are made of large aquamarines surrounded by diamonds. The necklace alone has nine aquamarines. In later years, the Queen had a matching tiara made to also form part of this jewelry set.

In more recent royalty news, the photograph of the Diamond Jubilee portrait of the Queen was released. In it, she wore Queen Victoria’s Collet Necklace, which has been worn by five other generations of royalty. The necklace is made of large diamonds with a center diamond in a tear shape.

You don’t have to be in line for the thrown to look and feel like royalty. George Press Jewelers has many collections that include necklaces and earrings with designs that have large gems surrounded by diamonds. Stop in today and make all your friends bow down to your new fabulous jewelry.

Titanic

­We all fell in love with the movie Titanic, whether it was because of Leonardo DiCaprio’s good looks, the unbreakable love between Jack and Rose, or the tragic ending. Many of us probably remember crying our eyes out in the theater. Now almost 15 years later, we are given the opportunity to watch the movie all over again in 3D!

Titanic 3D will hit the theaters this week. In addition to reliving some of the most romantic moments on the big screen, what we are most anxious to see is that beautiful, deep blue, heart-shaped pendent known as the ‘Heart of the Ocean.’ 

For all my jewelry lovers, here is a bit of sad news…the ‘Heart of the Ocean’ actually did not exist on the Titanic. This beautiful necklace is based of the famous ‘Hope Diamond’ that belonged to King Louis XVI of France. Today, the ‘Hope Diamond’ can be found in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C.

However, many of us probably remember seeing Celine Deon wear the ‘Heart of the Ocean’ during her performance at the Oscars in 1998. This necklace was actually inspired by the film, Titanic, and made afterwards. The pendent Celine Dion wore was made of a 170 carat sapphire surrounded by sixty-five 30-carat diamonds.

Here is some good news- you don’t have to live a tragic romance to look absolutely gorgeous with a large diamond pendant. George Press Jewelers has many diamond pendant necklaces to match your specific desires. If you want to follow in the Titanic spirit some of our jewelry collections include heart shaped gems. There are also different sizes to choose from, for those who prefer smaller-sized jewelry.

Come in today to find the heart that will make you fall in love with jewelry all over again.
