Review: Angara Oval Blue Sapphire And Diamond Shell Earrings

June 2, 2015

One of my favorite things in the world — something that has always been a part of my signature look — are chandelier earrings. The bigger the better! However, my son is in a stage of his life where he loves to grab my jewelry and has on several occasions nearly ripped the earrings from my ears. Thus, I have had to resort to wearing small, delicate earrings, like these gorgeous ones from Angara.

Angara is the gemstone destination and if you are not familiar with it, you should be, as it is one of the best places online to buy fine jewelry. Along with their one-of-a-kind pieces, they also offer customers free shipping worldwide, 30-day returns, a 110% refund policy, and 0% interest financing. They are a completely trustworthy company, which is essential when investing in expensive jewelry. One of my favorite things about their website is that they have a 24/hour live-chat in case you have any questions about your potential purchase.

What does Angara mean? In ancient Sanskrit it means “the fire within.” It is believed that the earth created our magnificent gemstones with angara.

Angara is a family run business. The owners have been dealing with fine gemstones for numerous years and have deep roots in gemstone cutting, polishing, and design. They specialize in sapphires, rubies, emeralds, tanzanites, diamonds, and many other precious gemstones. In 2005, the company decided to bring gemstone jewelry directly to the public and created the amazing website and reputation that they have today. They have been mentioned in Forbes, Crain’s, Women’s Wear Daily, Daily Candy, and Harvard Business Review to name a few! I love the message from the founders listed online, “…it’s the thousands of you – our cherished customers – who email and call every month to tell us about how our jewelry has made your precious moments even more special, that we’re most proud of. We know that we are here only because of you, and will do whatever it takes to exceed your expectations. It is an honor for us to be a part of the special moments of your life, now and in generations to come.”

The Angara earrings that I own are vivid sapphires, oval studded in their centers, and flanked by tiny round brilliant diamonds. These blue and white beauties are conch-shaped. This pair of 14k white gold fashion earrings are perfect to wear whether you are a mother or not and make a lovely gift option for any special occasion. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received on them since I started wearing them!

What is your favorite gemstone to wear? The next ones I will purchase will be garnet, in honor of Joaquín’s Birthday being in January.
