Diamonds and Sapphires for Wedding Jewelry
Most sapphires are blue stones which range from slight blue to a deep indigo coloration. The most valued of the sapphires are ones that have the medium blue coloration and these are referred to "cornflower blue".
Sapphires come in many colors and these are often called "fancy sapphires". Sapphires are found throughout the world but primarily in Australia, United States. Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, Kampuchea, Kenya and Tanzania. The name "sapphire" comes from multiple sources. In Persian, it is "safir" and was associated with Saturn. In Latin, "sappheiros" for the island where sapphires were mined.
Ancient folklore is rich with stories related to sapphires. Seen as a stone that changes its hue when the wearer was engaged in impure behavior, it was given to the wearer to help impart fidelity. Also thought to bring inner peace to the soul and spiritual enlightenment.
Sapphires come in a variety of colors
Although blue is considered the normal color for sapphires, they can be found across a full range of spectral colors as well as brown, colorless, grey and black. Those other than blue in color are considered fancy color sapphires. Some natural sapphires can be found as completely transparent, or "white." White sapphires usually come out of the ground as light grey or brown and are then heated to make them clear. However, in very rare circumstances they will be found in a clear state.
Gemstones come in a variety of shades, grades and price ranges, and they're being incorporated into everything from teardrop earrings to bulky bangles and Renaissance-inspired collars. The stones also make clever gifts to match outfits.
A surge in the popularity of colored gemstones this year has helped jewelry stores across the United States boost profits and keep people coming through the door.
