Collection: 45th Anniversary gifts - sapphire

While sapphires are most commonly associated with their stunning blue tones, they actually come in nearly every colour of the rainbow. Red sapphires, for example, are known as rubies. The word sapphire is derived from both the Latin sapphirus and the Greek sappheiros, both of which mean blue—but sapphires exist in a dazzling array of colours, from pink to yellow, green, and even purple.

 Sapphires are renowned for their exceptional durability, ranking 9 out of 10 on the MOHS scale of hardness. The only stone harder than a sapphire is a diamond, making them perfect for jewellery that’s designed to last. This remarkable strength, combined with their striking colours, makes sapphires a popular choice for engagement rings, anniversary jewellery, and everyday wear.

Sapphires are the birthstone for September, symbolising wisdom, loyalty, and nobility. They are also the traditional gemstone for the 45th wedding anniversary, representing enduring love and commitment over many years.
