Sapphires really are gems of the sky, although
they are found in the hard ground of our 'blue
planet'.
Blue
is the main colour of the sapphire. Blue is also
the favourite colour of some 50 per cent of all
people, men and women alike. We associate this
colour, strongly linked to the sapphire as it is,
with feelings of sympathy and harmony, friendship
and loyalty: feelings which belong to qualities
that prove their worth in the long term – feelings
in which it is not so much effervescent passion
that is to the fore, but rather composure, mutual
understanding and indestructible trust. Thus the
blue of the sapphire has become a colour which
fits in with everything that is constant and
reliable. That is one of the reasons why women in
many countries wish for a sapphire ring on their
engagement. |
