The sapphire has been the gemstone of choice for many Royals and other famous people, and so continues to be today without any lessening in popularity.

The Five Reasons.
1. Hardness Of Sapphire.
This gemstone crystal is ranked second along with that of the ruby on the Mohs hardness scale, to only that of diamond. This undoubtedly means that it has greater robustness and resistance to knocks etc when being worn compared to that of some lesser durable gemstone variants.
2. Sapphire Anniversary Stone.
To celebrate any anniversary celebration for 5th, 45th and 70th years, such as years of marriage or even birthdays, then the sapphire is the gem symbolically linked to these.
3. Birthstone Sapphire.
If you are thinking of purchasing a sapphire engagement ring for instance, then if you are either born in the month of September or are associated with the Zodiac sign of Cancer, then this is unquestionably the gemstone for you.
4. Colour Of Sapphire.
As mentioned earlier, all colours except red are available for you to select from, including pink, orange, yellow, green and purple, as well as a pink-orange shade, known as Padparadscha, but most frequently chosen are the blue colour shades. These colours range from light and mid blues, to almost black, and are respectively known for instance as Ceylon, Cornflower and Australian, depending upon the shade of blue that is shown.
5. Sapphire Legend
All through time this stone has been said to be the gemstone of the heavens and has been thought to be able to help those with hard of hearing. It is also said to be able to give protection from evil thoughts and nightmares, cancer and burns, as well as reducing any inflammation. It also means the wearer will have ample happiness and wisdom, as well as faith and truth.
In Conclusion.
The sapphire is still the whole worlds No:1 selling gemstone, and can be more expensive than that of diamonds, although usually, not as much as that of the ruby.
If Prince Charles thought it perfect to offer to Lady Diana on their engagement. If Ancient Popes used it to denote their status. And if King Solomon used it as his Royal seal in Ancient times. Then, surely this most distinguished of gemstones, is also worth you being genuinely proud of it!
If for example your Sapphire Rings, or any other item of sapphire jewellery, have lost their original shine and lustre. Then, it is definitely an easy task to get them looking brand new again. Just scrub gently with a soft toothbrush, using warm and mild soapy water to remove any of the dirt and grime that has accumulated over time.
Sapphire Jewellery is certainly not meant to be hidden away from all eyes, so just please make sure you wear it if you are indeed lucky enough to have any.
