Steeped in symbolism, the sapphire has been revered around the world for centuries for its stunning celestial and aquatic hues. Only second in hardness to the diamond, the sapphire is brutally forged by the earth, hewn from rock, and abraded into a smooth, sparkling, multi-faceted gemstone that exudes mystique, sophistication, and allure. - Kara Williams
