The sapphire will always be towards the top of anyones list for purchasing jewellery.

5 Great Reasons

I. Sapphire Hardness

Sapphire (along with ruby) is second in hardness to only that of the diamond gemstone with a Mohs hardness rating of 9. This ensures a greater amount of robustness when compared to that of other stones that may be fairly softer in nature.

II. Sapphire Anniversary Stone

To celebrate any anniversary celebration for 5th, 45th and 70th years, such as years of marriage or even birthdays, then the sapphire is the gem symbolically linked to these.

III. Birthstone

If say your engagement ring contains sapphire, and you were either born in September or symbolically linked to the Zodiac sign of Cancer, then the linking with that of the sapphire means you will be offered greater good luck and protection from evil.

IV. Colour Of Sapphire

Although these gems can be found in all colours such as yellow, pink, green, orange and purple, they are most often found and purchased in the blue colour shades. These go from dark midnight, almost black blues known as Australian sapphire, through mid blue such as Cornflower blue, which is usually the most sought after and valuable, then on to the lighter shades such as Ceylon sapphire. There is also another very valuable type known as Padparadscha, showing a orange/pink colour.

V. Sapphire Legend

The stone that is historically thought to provide faith and truth, as well as joy and wisdom, has been known to be the gem of the heavens. It helps to remove any evil thoughts from the wearer, as well as offering protection against burns, cancer and inflammation. It also is supposed to help those with impaired hearing!

My Conclusion

Although not as valuable usually as the ruby, it can be more valuable than diamond, and in any case it is still the worlds number one selling gemstone.

If for example your Sapphire Ring, or any other item of sapphire jewellery has lost its original shine and lustre. Then, it is definitely an easy task to get it looking brand new again. Just scrub gently with a soft toothbrush, using warm and mild soapy water to remove any of the dirt and grime that has accumulated over time.

Sapphire Jewellery is surely not meant to be hidden away from all eyes, so just please make sure you wear it if you are indeed lucky enough to have any.

If Prince Charles thought it good enough to present to Lady Diana on their engagement. If Ancient Popes used it to signify their rank. And if King Solomon used it as his Royal seal in Ancient times. Then, surely this most majestic of gemstones, is also worth you being genuinely proud of!
