Sapphires are back in style

Sapphires are the single-crystal form of the mineral corundum.  Although the cornflower blue sapphire is the most popular, sapphires can also be pink, green, white, yellow and red, although the red sapphires are called rubies.  Sapphires are second in hardness to diamonds and therefore require little care to keep them looking beautiful.

 Sapphires are found deep below the earth in India, Burma, Ceylon, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, Brazil and Africa.  To get an idea of how splendid sapphires can be, it's worth knowing that Princess Diana's choice for her engagement ring was a $42,000 large sapphire ring!

Sapphires have regained popularity in the last couple of years and are currently considered a very trendy fashion accessory!
