Sapphire is a precious gemstone renowned for its striking beauty, durability, and versatility. It belongs to the corundum mineral family and is characterised by its rich blue colour, although it can also occur in a wide range of hues, including pink, yellow, green, and even colourless (known as white sapphire).

The blue variety of sapphire, often referred to as “royal blue,” is the most sought-after and prized. Its mesmerising colour, ranging from deep velvety blue to vibrant cornflower blue, has captivated humanity for centuries. Sapphires are treasured for their intense colour saturation, transparency, and brilliance, making them a popular choice for jewellery, especially engagement rings and other fine pieces.
