In September, the stars shine a little brighter, and that's not just because of the clear autumn sky - it's the sapphire, our gemstone of the month! Hardly any other stone embodies luxury, elegance and history as much as this fascinating gemstone. Let's take a closer look at this "king of gemstones" and find out why it shouldn't be missing from your jewelry box.
The history of the sapphire – noble and sublime
The sapphire, especially in its deep blue color, has been a symbol of nobility and wisdom for centuries. In the Middle Ages it was already considered a protective stone for kings and queens. Its intense blue color was not only a sign of wealth, but was also supposed to protect against evil forces. It is therefore no wonder that the sapphire is still considered one of the most precious stones of all.
But the sapphire is a stone with many faces! In addition to the classic blue, it also comes in other colors, from pink to yellow to green. Did you know that sapphires can come in all colors of the rainbow - except red? (Yes, red sapphire is technically a ruby!)
Why the sapphire?
Why should you treat yourself to a sapphire this month? It's simple: sapphire is not only beautiful, but it's also extremely durable. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, it's the perfect stone for everyday jewelry. It resists scratches and remains flawless for years - a long-lasting symbol of eternal elegance.
What makes the sapphire so special?
Sapphires are unique because each stone has its own personality. The variations in color intensity, cut and clarity make each sapphire unique. For those who love something special, a sapphire is not just a piece of jewelry, but an expression of individuality and style.
Fun fact: The largest sapphire in the world weighs over 1400 carats – enough to leave any jewelry lover speechless!
Sapphire in pop culture
The sapphire has maintained a royal reputation even in modern times. It was the centrepiece of one of the world's most famous engagement rings - that of Princess Diana, now worn by Duchess Kate. This ring shows that the sapphire is not just a stone of the past, but still represents timeless beauty and romance today.
