Blue is Sapphire’s main colour. Blue is also the favourite
colour of about 50 per cent of the population, men and women
alike. This colour, which is strongly associated with sapphire,
is also linked to emotions such as sympathy and harmony,
friendship and loyalty. These emotions belong to features which
are permanent and reliable – emotions where overwhelming and
fiery passion is not the main element, but rather composure,
mutual understanding and unshakeable trust. Sapphire blue has
thus become a colour related to anything permanent and reliable,
and this is one of the reasons why women in many countries
settle on Sapphire for their engagement rings. Sapphire
symbolises loyalty and faithfulness, while at the same time
expressing love and yearning. The most famous musical example
for this melancholic shade of blue can be found in George
Gershwin’s "Rhapsody in Blue".

This simple yet elegant sterling silver wire mount displays
the lovely deep blue man made 10mm sapphire beautifully.
The mounting is 2 1/8" x 1 5/16" including the bail.
