History <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The name Sapphire comes from “Sapphirus”, meaning dear to the planet Saturn. <\/em>The word Sapphirus in Latin references pink as a colour dating back to the 17 Century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, pink sapphires are now most popular for engagement rings.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, this gem symbolises nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness. Moreover, it has decorated the robes of royalty and clergy members for centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it is often associated with royalty and romance. The association was reinforced in 1981 when Prince Charles gave a blue sapphire engagement ring to Lady Diana. Read more about Lady Diana’s engagement ring. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dating back centuries, the sapphire has been worn and represented among royalty and clergy. Said to symbolise nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancient Greece strongly believed that blue sapphire protected them from harm and envy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, in the Middle Ages, the clergy wore blue sapphires to symbolise heaven. Whereas ordinary folks thought the gem attracted heavenly blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, the symbolism changed. Believed to have the power to guard chastity, make peace between enemies, influence spirits, and reveal the secrets of oracles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healing Properties <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, sapphire is believed to bring healing properties to the wearer. These include helping with migraines, headaches, eyesight issues, and inner ear problems, as well as balance and fever-related concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to beliefs, the gemstone helps relieve anxiety and stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
