Sapphire

Sapphire is a gemstone of exceptional beauty and value, a variety of the mineral corundum. Known primarily for its captivating blue color, from sky blue to deep royal blue, sapphire also exists in an impressive palette of "fantasy" shades: pink, yellow, orange, green, purple and even colorless.

Due to its extraordinary hardness (9 on the Mohs scale), it is second only to diamond, making it an ideal choice for jewelry intended for everyday wear, including rings and bracelets. Its resistance to scratches guarantees durability and preservation of its original appearance.

The value of a sapphire is determined by the richness and purity of its color, its transparency (absence of inclusions) and the quality of the cut, which skillfully reveals its brilliance and play of light. The most desirable are stones of a rich blue color with high transparency. It is worth noting that many sapphires are heat treated to enhance color and clarity, a common and acceptable practice in jewelry, making the beauty of sapphires more accessible. Historically, sapphires have been associated with wisdom, nobility, and loyalty. They are often chosen for engagement and wedding rings as a symbol of a strong and sincere relationship.

Sapphires are not just a beautiful stone, but also a long-lasting investment and a potential family heirloom that will be passed down from generation to generation.
