Sapphire
Sapphire is a precious gemstone (a type of corundum) that
ranges in color from blue to pink to yellow to green to
white to purple (mauve sapphire) to pink-orange (padparadscha
sapphire). Sapphire comes from the Greek word for blue,
sappheiros , and this gem provides the most beautiful blues
of the gem kingdom. The ancient Persians believed the earth
rests on a giant sapphire. Its reflection, they said, made
the sky blue. Sapphire, the celestial gemstone, has been
treasured for thousands of years. Sapphire is perhaps the
toughest and most durable gemstone available on the market.Since
sapphire symbolizes sincerity and faithfulness, it is an
excellent choice for an engagement ring.
