the three points on our sapphire abacus tripod earrings represent the past, present, and future; the passage of time can also be marked by the breaths we take, and so we use these subtle beauties as a reminder to inhale the future, exhale the past, and energize ourselves with the present. to give this beauty something deeper, we incorporated blue sapphires which are guardians of innocence, bestowers of truth, and promoters of good health. also known as the "traveler's protector," a blue sapphire brings gifts of fulfillment, joy, and worldliness.
