About Sapphire Gemstones

Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making it one of the most durable gemstones used in jewelry. The presence of trace elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, and vanadium produces sapphire’s wide color range.

Major sapphire sources include Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Madagascar, Thailand, Tanzania, Australia, and Kashmir. Many sapphires are heat-treated to enhance color and clarity; such treatments are stable and widely accepted but should always be disclosed.

Sapphires are traditionally associated with wisdom, loyalty, and protection, making them a meaningful choice for fine jewelry and special occasions.
