Storyville's story began as one about such colorful characters as "Diamond Queen" Lulu White and "Countess" Willie V. Piazza and the palatial "sporting houses" they and other N'awlins ladies of the evening ran. But ultimately this infamous district that sprang up along Basin Street in the early 1900s became much more famous as the birthplace of the blues, launching the careers of such jazz luminaries as Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton. Now Stauer proudly debuts a lushly arranged blues composition of our own-the Queen of the Blues! We've layered the deep, rich azure tone of London blue topaz over lighter, twinkly notes of Swiss blue topaz (1-5/8 ctw) to create a breathtaking ring that's sure to strike a chord with her. The octagon cut of the majestic 4-3/4-carat London blue topaz maximizes the gemstone's beautiful depth and clarity better than any other shape-all the more reason to raise the Queen of the Blues high on a 14K white gold wetting, the pagoda-like throne perfect for showing her off to one and all. Available in sizes 5-9.
