Sapphire
For centuries, Sapphire has been associated with royalty and romance. Its extraordinary color is the standard against which other blue gems—from topaz to tanzanite—are measured. In folklore, history, art, and consumer awareness, Sapphire has always been associated with the color blue. Most jewelry customers think all sapphires are blue, but Sapphires come in a wide array of colors - including pinks, yellows, oranges, reds, and greens!
In ancient Greece and Rome, kings and queens were convinced that blue sapphires protected their owners from envy and harm. During the Middle Ages, the clergy wore Blue Sapphires to symbolize Heaven, and ordinary folks thought the gem attracted heavenly blessings. In other times and places, people instilled Sapphires with the power to guard chastity, make peace between enemies, influence spirits, and reveal the secrets of oracles.
Sapphire is the birthstone for September and the gemstone for the 5th and 65th wedding anniversaries.
