Sapphire is the perfect birthstone for the month of September. In Ancient Persia, rulers believed that the sky was painted blue as a reflection of sapphire stones. Kings and queens wear this precious stone as a necklace to serve as their protection from harm. Such strikingly blue colour made sapphire as a symbol of heaven by the clergy during the Middle Ages.

 

Today, sapphires have become one of the most expensive gemstones in the world. On record, the world’s largest blue star sapphire has an estimated value of $300 million. Named as the ‘Star of Adam’, it weighs an astonishing 1,404 carats and a perfect reflection of a glistening star.

 

More than being a gem that represents eminence, sapphires are an impeccable symbol of love, fidelity and devotion. Many royalties are captivated by its majestic lustre, choosing this gem to be put in an engagement ring. So, keep reading and see why this gemstone is a prominent choice for jewellery by experts.

 

Revel in the Celestial Grace of Sapphire Jewellery

 

Sapphires have long been regarded as the stone of the royalty. One of the prime examples for its splendour are the sapphires of the British Crown Jewels. St. Edward’s Sapphire, the oldest amongst the jewels, possibly dates back to at least 11th century. It is set in the Maltese cross atop the crown. Together with the 104-carat Stuart Sapphire, both gemstones perfectly adorn the Imperial State Crown.

 

Engagement rings with Sapphire centrepieces and embellishments are already known in history. Napoleon Bonaparte gave his fiancée, Josephine, a sapphire engagement ring in 1796. One of the most notable proposals is Prince Charles of Great Britain’s betrothal ring to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. Likewise, the allure of this gem made it a befitting choice for Prince William’s proposal to Kate Middleton with the same 18ct sapphire ring.
