Sapphire - Pink

From the soft embrace of pastel pink to the intensely passionate hot pink, no other color has the power to render men weak in the knees as a woman wearing pink. The luster and brilliance of Pink Sapphire speaks to a woman’s desire to feel glamorous and feminine. And with the rising demand for Pink Diamonds, Pink Sapphire gives customers a sparkling alternative. Select from heated Pink Sapphire or Natural (untreated) Pink Sapphire. Designs that juxtapose pastel Pink Sapphire against darker stones such as Onyx, Blue Sapphire or Emerald create a look that is appealing to those who seek classical designs. Pastel Pink Sapphire mixed with Diamond or Pearl are other combinations that exude feminine charm. Jewelry that showcases the vivid hues of Pink Sapphire is appealing to those who seek the glamorous style of the 1950s to 60s. Its vivacious color is also the picture perfect accent for Bohemian chic fashions and “mod” inspired designs, inspired by the late 1960s to early 70s fashion scene. We offer one-of-a-kind Sapphire in pink and other colors as part of the Black Box Gemstone® collection.

Sapphire - Blue

The color blue holds an endless fascination. From the high dome of the sky to the oceans that cover two-thirds of the globe’s surface, blue literally surrounds us. Seen from space, Earth is revealed as a shimmering blue planet. It’s little wonder, then, that the breathtaking blue of Sapphire has captured man’s imagination from the beginning. Ranging from the deepest midnight to brilliant cornflower blue, Sapphires have long been prized for their intense, velvety color. Many people believe that the darker the color, the more valuable the gem. In many instances, this is not the case. Sapphire is one such example where the best and most valuable color is a mid-toned hue. In the case of Blue Sapphire – it is the vibrant “cornflower” hue that is most prized. The ancients believed that Blue Sapphire - holding in its depths the power of sea and sky - had influence over the spirit world as well; among its reputed powers was the ability to make peace between warring parties. The calming influence of blue has also made it an enduring symbol for loyalty and trust - one reason that women around the world choose Sapphire for their engagement rings. Sapphire – in all its rainbow of colors – is the gem given to those born in September or to those born under the sign of Aquarius. Those who celebrate their 5th, 7th, 10th and 45th wedding anniversary find the brilliant blue color of Sapphire makes the perfect gift to represent faith and steadfast commitment of their relationship. Several countries produce gem quality Sapphire, including the United States, Asia, Australia and East Africa. Our Blue Sapphire is mined primarily in East Africa. With colors ranging from inky blue to voluptuous azure, there is a Blue for everyone who chooses to experience the enchantment of this splendid gem.
