Sapphires have been treasured for centuries for their deep rich colour. They are a variation of the crystal corundum, another variation of which comes in red and is called ruby. Though sapphires are primarily known to be blue they come in various other colours such as yellow or green. Sapphires are the third hardest gemstone making them perfect for jewellery as they’re unlikely to suffer any wear damage. 

Historically sapphires have been held in high regard as ancient people believed the gemstone was connected to the heavens. Sapphires are also found in the Old Testaments and it’s believed that the Stone Tablets on which the 10 commandments were written were made of sapphire to reflect God’s throne and their connection with the divine. Sapphires are said to possess protective properties. Spiritually they are seen as a stone of joy, health and prosperity.

Treasure House 9k Yellow Gold Pink Sapphire and Diamond Ring RD217PS

If you’re not much of a fan of blue, why not consider a pink Sapphire. As we mentioned before sapphires and rubies are different colour variations of the same crystal. There’s some debate whether the pink versions of the gemstones are sapphires or very light rubies, but it’s widely accepted that they are indeed sapphires. So in that spirit, for those who prefer muted pinks rather than vibrant blues, we suggest this beautiful 9 karat gold ring. 5 pink sapphires are set into the band. Diamonds are set in between each sapphire and elevate the design.
