Did you know that sapphires have often been chosen for engagement rings? The gift of a sapphire has been often thought to symbolize a pledge of trust and loyalty.

We love to find talented local designers. San Diego jewelry designer Allison Neumann shared with us her unique jewelry and we thought we should share it with you! Allison uses a Montana sapphire in every piece. Her jewelry is a great gift for a bride-to-be or bridesmaid. She also designs men’s rings, pendants, cufflinks and wedding bands. Her collection can be found at montanasapphirecollection.com, Mixture Home in Little Italy, and Neumann’s Barrio Logan studio in the Glashaus. Photography by Paul Body.
