The word 'jewelry' definitely produces a spark in our minds and the
thoughts of bright, dazzling jewelry start haunting us. Gold (also
popularly referred to as the 'yellow metal') has dominated the world
of jewelry. However, with the change in times the concept of jewelry
has changed too.
Virtually every type of valuable metal and stone has its advocates in
jewelry. Diamonds
are especially popular, spawning the saying and Marilyn Monroe's song
about the relationship between girls and that particular gem. Despite
the widespread use of sapphires,
its historical use is quite a bit more convoluted.
While there is considerable debate on the birth of sapphires and its
use in jewelry, historians believe that sapphires were not known
until the Roman Empire. The name sapphire comes from the Hebrew word
"sapphiros" which meant blue gem, a term used long before
the Roman Empire. Another interesting myth to uncover would be how
the Persians came to believe that the planet itself actually rests on
a huge sapphire.
Sapphire jewelry
can be found in a variety of colors. Sapphire is in fact a very
important gemstone found in gemstone jewelry. Sapphire, in its
natural form, is blue in appearance. However, other colors like
black, brown etc are also found. Sapphire jewelry offers you a
variety of colors like purple, blue, grey etc.
Amazingly, some sapphires even change in color depending on their
surroundings. There are many kinds of sapphire jewelry: bracelets,
earrings, studs, pendants, rings,
and more. These come in all kinds of colors, shapes, patterns and
designs, such that you should be able to find jewelry using sapphires
to fit any outfit or occasion.
Take for example,a sapphire pendant made of white gold.The exotic
purple of the sapphire is complimented by the refined elegance of the
white gold pendant.Who wouldn't compliment you when you are wearing a
pair of dazzling pink sapphire earrings or an elegant blue sapphire ring?Sapphire
ring adds elegance and style to your wardrobe.You can find great

Cleaning of the sapphire gemstone is an important step for preserving
its beauty and longevity. To clean the gemstone, use a soft brush (a
soft toothbrush is preferable) and a diluted solution of ammonia. |
