Angara Is Truly the Best Place to Score Your Something Blue

I might be biased, but one of my favorite parts of my own wedding day ensemble was my #somethingblue. I wore tanzanite and diamond stud earrings and a beautiful tanzanite teardrop pendant with diamond accents around my neck. The jewelry was striking and mystifying, everything that a bride hopes she can pull off for her big day. ((I’m definitely not gassing myself up, BTW, I rarely ever wear too much jewelry save for my engagement ring, wedding band, and some studs in my ears. So, I was shocked at how stunning and natural my jewelry looked on my wedding day)). Obviously, Gwyneth Paltrow got the message, because her gorgeous - and quite massive, we might add - blue sapphire engagement ring from Brad Falchuk set a high bar for covetable celeb rings this year. We caught up with one-stop gemstone jewelry destination, Angara, for a pulse check on fine blue jewelry - and unsurprisingly, we got 😍😍😍 from the whole team. In fact, Ankur Daga, Angara’s founder, loves fine Ceylon sapphires the most. They sponsored this post to give us all some brilliant blue eye candy, and it couldn’t be sweeter.

Angara is synonymous with aisle-worthiness

Okay, Angara means “the fire within” in ancient Sanskrit. You were probably wondering, right? Basically, with Angara, the Earth has created magnificent gemstones. And the company ONLY works with the best, so of course it’d be named after such a 🔥 muse. Upfront, the company is fueled by a family that has been in the fine gemstone business for generations, with deep roots in gemstone cutting, polishing and design. While they first started by catering to larger retailers around the world, they made a move in 2005 to bring their gemstones and gemstone jewelry directly to the public. And brides and grooms got in on that glow real fast. Sapphires, rubies, emeralds, tanzanites, diamonds and pearls top the list of Angara’s classic and contemporary jewelry suitable for weddings, but let’s be honest any/all of the jewelry can be customized to the couple’s every whim.

Diamonds didn’t come first, do we care?

If you haven’t been keeping up with WC as of late, you might wonder why we’re downplaying the diamond. We still love anything diamond, of course, but colored gemstones are total goals RN and it’s so fun to see how couples are mixing up tradition when it comes to getting married. At Angara, statement gemstones are their gold mine. Their POV on engagement and wedding rings is if you're not one for going the traditional route, then a vibrantly-hued stone will definitively outdo your diamond. Couples can take their pick from dazzling blue sapphires, lush green emeralds, velvety purple amethysts, intense red garnets and many more gorgeous gems, all sourced directly from the mines and manufacturers. From extravagant styles, sophisticated patterns to classic and elegant designs, they really have something for everyone: the quality, of which, is exceptional. Superior craftsmanship, unmatched customer service. That’s just icing on the [wedding] 🍰, baby.

My husband actually got my push present - an amethyst (my son’s birthstone) teardrop pendant - from them, and it’s one of my most prized possessions. The color is beyond radiant, and it looks incredible on, especially if I’m wearing a monochromatic outfit that needs some punch. And brides-to-be can totally get on board with that mentality. If they’re wearing all white on their wedding day, why not add some color to the context?

They make vows, too

The best thing about Angara, though, is how committed their team is to helping couples find the perfect piece of jewelry to do their love story justice. And if the couple can’t figure it out on their own - the website literally allows you to customize every single detail of your dream ring - then they can count on the dedicated experts and innovators at Angara to help them find or create ‘the one.’ It’s a promise.

Whether you’re looking for an engagement ring that captures all the latest trends or stands for something bigger or a stunning set of wedding bands that celebrates your love and chemistry together on your special day, you can find it at Angara. And have a lot of fun in the process…

Which brings us to, that something blue …

Engagement ring, wedding band, or the perfect pair of earrings, if you’re on the hunt for #somethingblue, you won’t find anything better than the blue diamonds, blue sapphires, tanzanite, aquamarine and several types of topaz at Angara.

In our eyes, there’s nothing classier and more sophisticated than a sapphire engagement ring. It’s elegant, it’s glamorous, and yet, it bespeaks subtlety. When you’re wearing one, you’re basically royalty, and that doesn’t go away - even if you’re rocking it with yoga pants and a messy top knot. You’re still tying the knot at the top of your game.

There’s something super special about sharing your something blue with your new spouse. #somethingshared, why isn’t that a thing? We’re so into the idea of going with matching bands that feature sapphires. A half eternity band for you? A gypsy set square sapphire for him? It isn’t ordinary. But either is your love!

And finally, that piece of jewelry that serves as the most emblematic finishing touch to your big day fashion. Swiss blue topaz does a killer job with that task. When you’ve got flowers in your hair, and lovely lace draped over your décolletage, simple drop earrings with that signature light blue sparkle bring all the sass. We’re sold.

Have you gotten your something blue yet? We know a guy…. Start shopping Angara now!

Still unsure? Take a hint from this happy customer

"I bought 2 rings, from different jewelers, for my friend for her birthday, because I knew the style and stone that she wanted. It's hard to get a real idea about the jewelry online so I got 2, again, from different jewelers, so that she could decide which she liked better. She immediately was attracted to the ring from Angara and Angara was the only jeweler who sent a certification on the stones and gold! I will be buying my jewelry from Angara from now on. I recommend that everyone give them a try, you will not be disappointed." ~ Jill D.
