Sapphire is a precious gemstone known for its stunning beauty, durability, and range of vibrant colors. Most commonly recognized for its deep, royal blue hue, sapphire actually comes in nearly every color of the rainbow—except red (red corundum is classified as ruby). It's a variety of the mineral corundum and owes its color to trace elements like iron, titanium, or chromium.
Sapphires are associated with wisdom, loyalty, and nobility, and have been cherished in royal jewelry and spiritual traditions for centuries. They rank 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making them one of the hardest natural substances—ideal for everyday wear, especially in engagement rings.
