Beautiful blue is the favourite colour for about half of all people worldwide, both men and women alike.  No precious stone or anything else on Earth captures the colour blue better than a stunning, shining sapphire.  This makes sapphires the prefect gift for anybody and is the birthstone of September.

Millenniums ago, people once believed that that sky, then known as The Celestial Sphere, was a gigantic gorgeous sapphire with the Earth at its center.  Sapphires became known as the ‘gem of the sky’ and no better stone could be so honoured.

For sapphires come in every shade of sky blue: from the light, bright, baby blue of a perfect summer day, to the dark, deep, steel blue of a late winter evening, and every sublet shade in between.  Even the word ‘sapphire’ is derived from ‘sapphirus’ - Greek for ‘blue’.

While other stones discussed thus far in the Bedrock Gems Newsletter represent power, passion, love, desire, and other fervours forces: both sapphires and the colour blue symbolize tranquility, peace, wisdom, trust, loyalty, fidelity, and other noble virtues of stability, solidity and security.

All of this adds up to make sapphires the ideal gift for anybody: your spouse, your children, your parents, brothers, sisters, or any other family members, your dearest friends or anyone else who is trustworthy and true, or a source of guidance and inspiration.

Sapphire’s strong symbolism with ‘loyalty’ makes them the worldwide favourite for engagement rings, but they are equally good for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Christmas, St Valentine's Day, or any other special occasions.
