Few gems have held our attention over millennia as well as sapphire.
The pure blue colours and excellent durability of this gem-quality member of the corundum family make for an exceptional gemstone. However, not all sapphires are blue! The September birthstone comes in every colour of the rainbow, except red.
The remarkable hardness of Sapphires, which measure 9 on the Mohs Scale, is second only to diamond. They aren’t only valuable in jewellery, but also in industrial applications, including scientific instruments, high durability windows, watches and electronics.
Sapphire gemstones symbolise loyalty, nobility, sincerity and integrity.
