Sapphires, the gems of the sky, have been cherished for centuries. We love their striking beauty, rich symbolism, and impressive durability. These gems are not only September's birthstone but also a symbol of wisdom, loyalty, and nobility, making them a favorite in royal collections across various cultures. Before we highlight our favorite pieces, let's delve a little deeper into the allure of this mesmerizing gemstone.
The Allure of Sapphires
Sapphires belong to the corundum family, a group of minerals known for their exceptional hardness (second only to diamonds). This characteristic makes sapphires an excellent choice for jewelry that withstands the rigors of daily wear.
Most of our customers think of the popular rich blue hue of sapphires. However, sapphires come in a rainbow of hues: from yellows to pinks and even whites. Their rarity and the variety in color depend on their mineral contents, and the conditions of their mines. To learn more about the fascinating journey of sapphires from mine to market, visit the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) for a detailed exploration of their origins, properties, and lore.
Let's review some of our most popular choices for sapphire jewelry at our store in York.
