About Sapphire

Sapphire is a precious gemstone, part of the mineral corundum, known for its incredible lustre and stunning blue colour. Sapphire comes from the Greek meaning 'blue stone' but it also available in other colours, known as 'fancy sapphires' which can be pink, green, yellow, orange and more. 'Sapphire' can be used to define any other corundum other than ruby - another corundum variety. Sapphires have been adored for thousands of years, with ancient Romans using sapphires for jewellery. They are also associated with royals, with many medieval kings wearing them as jewellery as they believed it would protect them. Prince Charles gave Lady Diana Spencer a blue sapphire engagement ring, which was passed down to Prince William who gave it to Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. It is mined worldwide in Afghanistan, Burma, Madagascar, Thailand, Vietnam and the USA. It measures 9 on Mohs scale of hardness.
