Sapphire Jewellery
In earlier times, some people believed that the sky was an enormous blue sapphire in which the Earth had been embedded. Could there be a more poetic image to describe the beauty of a beautiful sapphire? Yet this gem comes not in one but in all the blue shades of that firmament, from the deep blue of an evening sky to the brilliant mid-blue of a lovely summer's day which casts its magical spell over us. However, this fantastic gemstone also comes in many other colours: not only in the transparent greyish-blue of a distant horizon but also a glorious pink among others. Sapphires really are gemstones of the sky, although they are only found in the hard, cold ground of our 'blue planet'. Sapphire is the birthstone of september. |
