Sapphires have long been associated with royalty
and romance.

The Greek and Roman royalty believed that
sapphires were able to protect them from harm
and envy. Sapphires have also been held by some
cultures to represent the spiritual side of the
world.

Sapphires are available in hues from light blue
to dark blue. Sapphires are the same kind of
stone as their red counterpart  ruby.

Sapphires are a tough stone and can be worn for
everyday use. Sapphires are usually found in
a variety of mounts and settings.

Sapphire is the birthstone of September.
