Sapphire gemstones are said to represent the ability to make wise choices, intelligence and education, and were worn to attain wisdom by the ancient Greeks. They were sometimes also used as medicines in Ancient Persia, linking to the idea that they were said to possess healing properties.

Sapphire gemstones are the birthstone for September and are gifted for 45th wedding anniversaries. The name Sapphire is from Latin “Sapphius” meaning “blue”. Typically sapphires come in a rich, deep blue colour, although natural sapphires come in a variety of colours.
