From ancient royalty to modern luxury, sapphires have stood the test of time and shone bright since time immemorial. Etched in history with multiple appearances and forever the star of the show wherever they appeared, sapphires have made their mark in various avenues for their shine, their magic, their play of light and their wonder. 

As September dawns on us, let us take a safari back in time to know more about this September gemstone and what makes it shine so bright.

The Monalisa of the Gemstone World

When the great Leonardo Da Vinci painted his masterpiece- The Monalisa, he did so in a way that irrespective of the angle you look at the painting from, the lady of the portrait appears to be looking at you. Quite similarly, when mother earth gave birth to sapphires, she did so in a way that they were born to be pleochroic. Sapphires reveal a mesmerising play of colour, with the same stone appearing differently from different angles.

Any Colour You Like…

Although no stone is as illustrious for the colour blue as the sapphire, blue is just one of the gemstone’s hues. From black to padparadscha, sapphires come in almost every colour of the spectrum. Whatever your personality and style, there is a shade of sapphire for you.

A Symbol of Royal Love

Although known across history as a heavenly gemstone due to its celestial blue colour, sapphires became a symbol of royal love when Prince Charles gave Lady Diana a 12-carat blue sapphire engagement ring. This ring later shone on to be hailed as the most famed engagement ring in the world. So, if you are scheming a true blue surprise proposal, you know what gemstone to choose!

Cool Blue Magic

Do you believe in magic? We do, because we’ve seen it, time and time again at our ateliers with these cool blue gemstones. In the fertile undergrounds of Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Madagascar, hide a rare variety of natural sapphires, exhibiting different colours in different light. Lovingly called Corundum’s Chameleons, this variety of sapphires are blue in outdoor light, purple under incandescent indoor light, green to gray-green in daylight and pink to reddish-violet in incandescent light. 

With love, from Marco Polo’s Gem Island

The brilliant sapphires of Sri Lanka have been a source of wonder for generations. This glittering source inspired Marco Polo to name Sri Lanka the Gem Island. Basking in the same glitter and glory, we at C. Krishniah Chetty source our glorious sapphires from Marco Polo’s own Gem Island.
