Sapphire is derived from the Greek word sappherios, which translates to blue. Sapphire’s extraordinary blue color is the standard which all other blue gemstones are measured against. In ancient Greece and Rome, kings and queens were convinced the blue Sapphire protected its wearer from envy and harm.
Even though blue is perhaps one of the most popular colors for Sapphire, this gemstone appears in a kaleidoscope of "fancy colors." There truly is a sapphire shade for everyone, no matter what your favorite color happens to be!
For centuries, Sapphire has been associated with royalty and romance, and is linked to events in history as well as fictional and modern day fairytales. Sapphires are known to symbolize nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness.
