Sapphire Jewelry

Occurring in Sapphire Jewelry in all the colors of the rainbow, except red, this popular stone used frequently in Art Deco Jewelry, steals its family name ‘corundum’, from ancient Sanskrit ‘kuruvindam’ while the word sapphire originates from the Persian word ‘safir’ meaning ‘beloved of Saturn’. Used throughout the centuries in Antique Sapphire Jewelry, this precious stone, commonly used in Estate and Signed Jewelry, is commonly heated to improve its color and reduce cloudiness that is caused by rutile inclusions. Known as September’s birthstone, Vintage Sapphire Rings make cherished gifts and Art Deco Sapphire Engagement Rings offer a popular alternative to the more traditional diamond.
