Jewelry pieces that combine a specific pale blue to blue-green gemstone with an alloy of silver containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% of other metals, typically copper, offer a unique aesthetic. These items often feature the gemstone as a central focal point, set within a framework constructed from the specified silver alloy. An example is a band crafted from the silver alloy with a prominent, oval-cut gemstone secured in a prong setting.
The combination of these materials yields several advantages. The gemstone is valued for its perceived calming properties and association with clarity and harmony. The silver alloy provides a durable and relatively affordable setting that complements the gemstone’s cool tones. Historically, both the gemstone and silver have been prized for their beauty and perceived metaphysical properties, leading to their use in various forms of adornment and symbolic objects throughout different cultures.
