Natural Sapphire

The rich blue sapphires are universally known but fancy sapphires come in many colors including pink, yellow, purple, green, black, and colorless. Sapphire comes from the word “sapheiros”, which means “bright blue stone” in Greek and has been cherished for for thousands of years for its color, durability, hardness and luster. Sapphires have been long associated with royalty and romance and are also said to symbolize fidelity and the soul.
