SAPPHIRE
The sky is just a gigantic blue Sapphire stone into which the earth is
embedded this belief was cherished in ancient times. And, in fact,
does there exist a better image to describe the beauty of an immaculate
Sapphire of purest blue? This gemstone exists in all the shades of blue
skies, from the deep blue of evening skies to the bright and deep blue
of a clear and beautiful summer sky which charms all people.
Blue is Sapphires main colour. Blue is also the favourite colour of
about 50 per cent of the population, men and women alike. This colour,
which is strongly associated with sapphire, is also linked to emotions
such as sympathy and harmony, friendship and loyalty. These emotions
belong to features which are permanent and reliable – emotions where
overwhelming and fiery passion is not the main element, but rather
composure, mutual understanding and unshakeable trust. Sapphire blue has
thus become a colour related to anything permanent and reliable, and
this is one of the reasons why women in many countries settle on
Sapphire for their engagement rings. Sapphire symbolises loyalty and
faithfulness, while at the same time expressing love and yearning. The
most famous musical example for this melancholic shade of blue can be
found in George Gershwin’s "Rhapsody in Blue". Sapphire’s blue colour is
also evoked where clear competence and controlled brainwork are the
issue. After all, the first computer ever to wrangle a victory from a
chess grandmaster and world champion was named "Deep Blue".
There is nothing quite as beautiful as a fine sapphire set in Black Hills
jewelry from Jane Roth Fine Jewelry.
