All You Need To Know About Sapphires For September-Born ‐ Gem Bleu

Sapphires are among the most elite gems in the world. They’re rich in hues with a luxurious aura, quite rightfully they’ve been loved and admired since their discovery.

A Sapphire’s features and symbolism

Sapphires come in a variety of colors, including pink, orange, purple, and blue and are popular jewelry choices. Blue and green sapphires symbolize confidence and compassion while purple and pink bring the wisdom of peace and acceptance. They are a type of the mineral corundum that measures nine on the Mohs hardness scale. Today, Sapphires are mined around the globe, but the majority come from Cambodia, Colombia, India, and Kenya.

A sapphire aims to be optically clear rather than visible through a loupe. They are custom cut to display their unique blend of color, brilliance, and clarity. Sapphires with well-cut facets will have angles that enhance their sparkle. Sapphires are a little heavier than diamonds, so a one carat sapphire normally appears smaller than a one carat diamond.

They are believed to have healing properties, bringing a balance and harmony to the physical, mental, and spiritual planes within the body.
