Taking its name from the Greek word "Sappheiros" and the Latin "Sapphirus" (both translating to "blue stone"), the Sapphire is loved for its rich and heady deep blue hues. When we hear the word Sapphire, it conjures images of that velvet midnight blue stone that sparkles with all the promise of love, wealth, wisdom, and wonder.

Like a star set against the midnight sky, the Sapphire gemstone has long been connected to nobility and majesty, and serves as a symbol for the heavens above. The Greeks used Sapphire to garner favor with the God Apollo, and it was often worn when visiting The Oracle. It was also a stone connected to Abraham and was believed to be one of the gems that adorned the breastplate of the High Priest. Persian rulers also believed that the sky was painted pure blue by the reflection that bounced off the Sapphire stone.

Even in our modern day era this gem continued to shine above all others, and a Sapphire engagement ring was even gifted to Lady Diana. Kings and queens adored this gem because it was said to be a talisman of cornflower blue that kept them safe and surrounded by the light of wisdom.

Today, the Sapphire is considered to be the birthstone of September and is traditionally given as a 45th wedding anniversary gift as it represents the wisdom and joy that a couple have achieved through the power of perfect longevity.
