Sapphire: A Gemstone of Many Colours

Sapphires are often associated with blue tones, but these stunning gemstones actually come in almost every colour of the rainbow. While blue is the most popular, red sapphires are more commonly known as rubies. The name “sapphire” is derived from the Latin and Greek words “sapphirus” and “sappheiros”, both meaning “blue.”

Sapphires are one of the hardest gemstones, ranking 9 out of 10 on the MOHS scale—second only to diamonds. Their exceptional durability makes them an ideal choice for engagement rings and jewellery meant for everyday wear. Whether in shades of blue, pink, yellow, or even green, sapphires are a timeless and versatile gemstone, symbolizing wisdom, nobility, and divine favor.
