MULTI SAPPHIRE JEWELRY
Although sapphire means blue in Latin, sapphires can
be found in a rainbow of colors. Kings once believed
these stones offered protection form harm and envy.
Sapphires are calm and relaxing. Until the discovery
of extraordinary stones in Kashmir in 1880, Sri Lanka
(formerly known as Ceylon) was the standard bearer of
sapphire. The Kashmir supply was essentially exhausted
by 1930, leaving Sri Lanka as the location of the
world's most beautiful sapphires. Sapphires are also
mined in Madagascar, Australia and Thailand. Sapphires
come other colors such as red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, purple and pink. Colors other than blue are
referred to as "rainbow sapphires" or "fancy
sapphires". Sapphire is the traditional gift for the
fifth and forty-fifth wedding anniversaries and the
birthstone for September.
