Short answer: in Loretana's colour system, blue means protection: calm, trust and the wish that someone stays safe. Green stands for wealth, red for love and white for clarity. Our blue stones are AAAAA cubic zirconia set in 925 sterling silver. They carry a meaning; they are not sapphires, and no stone can promise to keep anyone safe.
Blue is the colour people give when they care about someone who is far away or starting something new. Here is why, how we use it, and how to choose a blue piece.
Why blue stands for protection
Blue is the colour of the sky and the sea: things that are always there, wide and steady. In many cultures it became the colour of calm, trust and safekeeping. That is the sense we give it: a quiet wish that the person who wears it is looked after.
A blue piece as a personal reminder
Many people wear a blue piece as a personal talisman: a daily reminder that someone thinks of them, or a way to feel calm before a journey, an exam or a new job. The meaning is in the reminder, not in the stone. It is a wish you can wear, and that is how we describe it.
