Collection: 75th Anniversary gifts - sapphire

Sapphires are most commonly associated with blue tones, but they actually come in almost every colour. Red sapphires are known as rubies. The word sapphire originates from the Latin and Greek words sapphirus and sappheiros, both meaning blue. Sapphires are incredibly hard, measuring 9 on the MOHS scale, second only to diamonds. Sapphires are the birthstone for September and the gemstone for the 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries.
