"Are you having a hard time trying to figure out what to get for that 45th wedding anniversary? My name is Blake Kennedy, and I'm with Kennedy Brothers Estate Services. I'm here to see if I can't help you out with that. The 45th year is a very special year. All of them are very special. But that's the year of the sapphire. Sapphire is a beautiful stone. Matter of fact, it's my favorite one. The reason it's my favorite one, because it's sky blue and ocean blue, beautiful colors. But that's not the only color they come in. They come in orange. They come in yellow. They come in purple and lavender. But the one that they really, really like is that blue. The blue is so beautiful when you set it to a gold setting, whether you have it in a gold-setted brooch, or a gold ring, even in gold earrings. The blue just sets that gold off beautifully. So when you're looking for that 45th wedding anniversary present, go for a beautiful sea blue, sky blue sapphire, and set it in a nice 18-karat gold or 14-karat gold, because you want to make sure you remember that price point. You can't go wrong by putting it in that 10-karat, because once it's on that finger or around that neck, they don't know if it's 10, 14, or 18-karat gold. But just remember, it has that beautiful blue sapphire in there. My name is Blake Kennedy. And happy 45th wedding anniversary."
