Pink, Blue and White Sapphire Necklaces

A sapphire necklace is not only stunning to look at with its heavenly shade of blue, but in the old days, this gemstone was thought to provide protection from harm for those who wore it. Kings used to wear sapphire around their necks as a powerful defense against harm. The stone preserved the wearer from envy and attracted divine favor.

Sapphire also represents truth, sincerity and consistency. Sapphire engagement rings are given to express commitment and loyalty. The popularity of sapphire engagements rings increased enormously after Prince Charles chose a blue sapphire engagement ring for Princess’ Diana’s engagement ring. A sapphire necklace can also make an ideal anniversary or birthday gift as it represents the 5 th and 45 th year of marriage and it is the traditional jeweler’s birthstone for September.

Natural healer’s used sapphire to help rid unwanted thoughts, bring joy, peace and wealth, and it is thought to help heal blood problems. Sapphire is also the central gemstone used to help subdue an over active Throat Chakra (5 th Chakra).

Sapphires are available in every color, except red. Blue is the most common color and unless stated, sapphire is assumed to be blue. Colors other than blue are usually referred to as fancy sapphire. White sapphire is occasionally used as a diamond substitute. The most valuable sapphire are usually those that are a deep transparent blue and they usually come from Sri Lanka. The best sapphires hold the brightness of their color under all different types of lighting. Any black, grey, or green overtones mixed in with blue will reduce the stone’s value. The lowest grade of all is the black opaque sapphire.

When selecting a sapphire necklace beware of artificial gemstones, as sapphire is easily synthesized in the laboratory. Also beware of misleading terms when purchasing sapphire jewelry, ‘Brazilian sapphire’ isn’t actually sapphire it is really blue topaz, and ‘Lux sapphire’, ‘Lynx sapphire’ and ‘Water sapphire’ are really Iolite.

The most popular colors and styles for a sapphire necklace include: blue, pink with a gold setting, white and those that come with diamonds or a cross.

Caring for your Sapphire Necklace:

Sapphire is quite durable but it is still subject to chipping and fracturing if handled roughly, so always keep your sapphire necklace in a soft pouch bag or container. To clean use a soft cloth or soft bristled brush (a toothbrush can be a good option to get all those hard to reach places) and mild soapy water.
