She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars - Bobby Vinton

She was sitting at the bar in a jazz club, in a blue velvet dress. For you, it was love at first sight; she took more convincing, what with you being a naval officer on one night's shore leave. But the spark was there, and when the club closed, you walked along the promenade, exchanging lives until the dawn light tinted the sky, and turned the ocean from black to indigo. 

All you got from her was her address. Two years in the navy and a hundred letters back and forth later, you were married. You like to tell your kids that the first time you kissed was at the alter, but that's not entirely true. But it makes for a good story.

These gorgeous earrings would look amazing on her. The round cut sapphires are the colour of that blue velvet dress, which she can still get into. And the white gold reminds you that silvery dawn light, the diamonds of the mischievous sparkle in her eyes when you asked for a kiss goodbye, and she said, no!
