The name sapphire comes from the Greek word “sappheiros” or the Latin word “saphirus”, both of which mean “blue”. Like diamonds, sapphires take millions of years to form, and no two natural sapphires will ever look the same. The birthstone of September, this deep blue gemstone has been adored for its colour, durability and beauty since ancient times. Sapphire is one of the four recognized precious gemstones and the second hardest mineral on earth after diamond.
