Sapphires as a Cheaper Alternative to Diamonds for Diamond Engagement Rings
Sapphires come in different colours and in this article we will explore a few facts you may not know about these popular gemstones. One colour they come in blue. This is known as the gemstone of the heavens. Ancient writings claim that the entire earth was surrounded by a giant solitaire sapphire. Sapphires are available in the following colours including pink, purple blue, yellow and orange. The blue sapphire is available in various shades from ocean to midnight blue. Blue is the birthstone for the month of September.
The Greeks named the sapphire sappheiros and in latin it was called sapphirus. Sapphires were believed to embody strange powers and priests used them to help them understand dreams. A sapphire was also supposed to keep you from thinking evil thoughts and to live a more spititual life style. The greeks symbolised the blue sapphire with there god Zeus – The god of the skies. The sapphire was also worn to keep the heart in good shape in order to sustain strength and honour. It was therefore significant if the colour faded in a sapphire as this meant your partner may have cheated on you. It is a well know fact that diamond is the hardest substance discovered but it is sapphire that is a close second. The scale used for measuring the hardness of minerals is the Mohs scale with a diamond at ten and a sapphire measuring nine. This why the sapphire has come to symbolise endurance and longevity.
This therefore makes the sapphire ideal for tension setting in titanium rings as featured on our site. You can choose a sapphire to tension set in various cuts including the pink heart shaped sapphire. However the sapphire can be set in all precious metals and looks wonderful when set correctly. A fact may people might not know is that the red sapphire is in fact actually a Ruby. Rubies have lesser clarity values than sapphires. A sapphire can make a suitable stone for an engagement or wedding ring and many women look upon them as an ideal alternative to a diamond as it is a symbol of love and longevity. The sapphire is a versatile stone for jewellery and not only those born in the month of September should consider wearing blue sapphire rings. A sapphire offers our customers the opportunity to purchase a beautiful precious stone set ring that is more affordable than a diamond.
