Origin and History

Remembered for their gorgeous blue colour, the name sapphire originates from the Persian word ‘safir’, which is taken from the Greek word for blue – ‘sapheiros’.
Early in the 13th century, it was believed that if a person is untrue to their partner, the sapphire ring they wore will change its colour. Thus, sapphires were used to test loyalty of people. This property of a sapphire made it the favourite of kings and clergy during that era. Sapphires used to cost a lot during those times and people valued a sapphire engagement ring more than a diamond one.
One of the most famous blue sapphire engagement ring is the one with Princess Diana; Prince Harry had given it to his fiancée, Catherine Middleton on their engagement. This ring having a 12-carat oval blue diamond along with 14 diamonds is world famous.
