Browse Blue Sapphire Jewelry
 The calm blue of a sapphire evokes feelings of peace, faithfulness, loyalty. No wonder why the sapphire jewelry is the most popular wedding jewelry second to diamonds among women.
Sapphires belong to the corundum group and consist of pure aluminum oxide. Millions of years ago, intense heat and pressure caused aluminum oxide deep inside the earth to form white crystals. Combined with other elements such as chrome, these crystals gained blue coloring, transforming into what we know today as Sapphires.
The oldest Sapphire mines are situated in Ceylon, today called Sri Lanka, where gemstones were mined in ancient times. These Ceylon sapphires are immediately recognized by experts for their luminous brilliance of their light to medium blue color.
Most blue Sapphires, however, come from Thailand, Africa, or Australia. Contrary to popular belief, light blue Sapphires are more desirable for daily wear because their light color reflects brilliantly in daylight and evening, the blue still shimmers.
