Reasons to Choose Blue Sapphire for a Gift

Sapphires are beautiful, highly-coveted gemstones with a long and rich history. The deep velvety blue color of the sapphire has often been assigned spiritual and religious significance. Therefore, more often than not, this gorgeous gem was the go-to stone for illustrious historic figures such as Helen of Troy, King Solomon, and Charlemagne. 

Nowadays, the sapphire may have lost some of its mystical powers, but it still remains one of the most interesting natural and artificial gemstones on the market. It’s also one of the most durable, as its hardness is second only to diamonds.

 

How to Buy a High-Quality Sapphire Stone

When shopping for sapphires, it’s important to keep in mind that these gemstones aren’t just blue. You can also find sapphires in purple, green, yellow, and orange colors. If you want to stick with the blue ones (the most sought-after nuance), there is an entire range from which you can choose. 

The most expensive sapphire comes in deep royal blue (AAA quality) and is one of the rarest and most expensive stones on the market. If this type of sapphire doesn’t fit your budget, you can still find high-quality blue sapphires in medium-rich blue color (AA quality) or blue with slightly gray undertones (A quality).

3 Reasons why Sapphire is a Fantastic Choice

1. A Wonderful Engagement Ring

Sapphires look amazing on any piece of jewelry, but they’re more often than not mounted on gorgeous engagement rings. One such famous sapphire was offered to Princess Diana for her engagement. 

Of course, the royal deep blue of the stone was meant to symbolize the strength and honesty of prince Charle’s feelings, but we all know how that turned out. However, the ring has since been redeemed, and now adorns the finger of the beautiful and poised Kate Middleton. 

So if you want to make your partner feel like a princess while also proving your honest and strong intentions, a sapphire engagement ring is a great choice.

2. It’s Not a Diamond

The diamond industry is marred by exploitation stories, unfair market practices, and other such negative connotations so young generations would rather skip the diamond rings and jewelry. 

So, if you’re looking for a stone with similar characteristics (hardness, light reflection, clarity) the sapphire is a great option. Plus, sapphires and diamonds work together extremely well!

On the same note, if you ever have trouble choosing a gift for Valentine’s, a cute sapphire jewel can solve all your problems. Your partner will love it and your wallet will thank you for not going with the diamonds.

3. A Wonderful Gift

If you’re not looking for an engagement ring or a piece of jewelry to prove your undying romantic love to a partner, you can still buy sapphires as a gift of appreciation. As we mentioned, sapphires are often associated with honesty, wisdom, and royalty which is why they make great gifts for both men and women.

Sapphire earrings, necklaces, buttons, bracelets, and other pieces of jewelry can make for a nice gift for someone you respect and admire. It’s also a fantastic gift for someone who inspired and mentored your professional development.

 

Wrap Up

If you ever want to feel like a royal, a blue sapphire ring will help you set the scene. Plus, if you go for an artificial stone, which is just as beautiful as a natural one, you won’t have to break the bank and dig into your savings. Overall, these gemstones are gorgeous and quite accessible even for regular folks.
