The Meaning of White Sapphire and other Sapphire Colors

Aside from blue, the sapphire comes in many other colors including white. There are also pink sapphires, yellow sapphires, green sapphires, purple sapphires, orange sapphires, brown sapphires and black sapphires. The beauty of this range of hues to choose from is that you can choose the hue that is best suited to a person's personality. Different colored sapphires also compliment the look of "the ice" in a sapphire diamond ring. A popular style right now is the yellow canary diamond solitaire flanked by two pink sapphires.

Here is a run down of the symbolic meaning of the different colors of sapphires.

Blue Sapphire - Loyalty, Fidelity, Wealth,
White Sapphire - Purity, Innocence, Faith
Pink Sapphire - Femininity, Joy, Affection
Yellow Sapphire - Joy, Fertility, Abundance
Orange Sapphire -Joy, Good Luck, Simplicity
Green Sapphire - Fertility, Growth, Best Wishes
Purple Sapphire - Wisdom, Intuition, Psychic Power
Brown Sapphire - Grounding, Wisdom, Healing

As you can see, creatively combining one or two different colors in a sapphire diamond ring can greatly personalize the ring as a gift. For instance white sapphire rings are ideal for young women who are graduating or young men entering the priesthood. A green sapphire flanked by two brown sapphires would be the ideal ring to give to someone who is recovering from cancer. A purple sapphire combined with a white sapphire would greatly enhance the journey of someone who is psychic or a spiritual seeker.

Many of these colored sapphires work spectacularly in rings as stand alone sparkling gems. White sapphires are nearly as hard as diamonds and make a great affordable stand in for real "ice." Orange sapphires often look spectacular on their own and boast a brilliant fire that is not found in any other gemstone. A yellow sapphire would be a great gift for a new mother as it would convey a wish for a great future for both her and her baby.
