Like all rare and precious gems,
sapphires have long been the source of legend and myth. Ancient Persians
believed the sky was made of sapphire and some speculate that the Ten
Commandments were engraved on sapphire tablets. Throughout its history
the sapphire has been considered a regal gem, worn by members of Royalty
for protection and its healing powers.
Today the major sources of sapphires
are in Australia, Thailand, Myanmar and East Africa and many of the most
valuable sapphires came from mines in Kashmir.
One of the largest sapphires in history
was in the possession of Catherine the Great. This magnificent 337
carat, deep blue stone was owned for a time by Harry Winston, who
displayed it in his Court of Jewels traveling exhibition during the late
1940’s and early 1950’s.
The Sapphire, which is September’s
birthstone, symbolizes love and fidelity and is believed to be powerful
enough to heal ailments as diverse as ulcers, eye trouble and
nosebleeds.
For a truly unique gift, consider the
virtual rainbow of natural colorizations, from pinkish-orange through
the sunny yellows and pinks, to the deeper-toned and rarer greens and
lavenders.
