Sapphire – one of the world’s most valuable gemstone

USA (SANEPR.com) May 19, 2008 -- The Jewellery Channel exclusively presents one of the most exclusive and most colourful gemstones of the world – the sapphire

The Sapphire is a variation of the mineral corundum which also educes the ruby. Sapphire derives from the Greek “blue stone” but actually describes all colourless and colourful varieties of the red ruby. The sapphire is often said to have protecting strengths against poison and evil sprits. Sapphire has also been used in the official rings for bishops and cardinals since the sapphire was believed to make its wearer devotional and to give him or her divine benevolence. However, the old Persian monarchs believed that the reflection of the light in the sapphire is responsible for the blue colour of the sky. Sapphire is also the birthstone for September.

The Star of Inda – world’s biggest cut sapphire

The biggest cut sapphire ever is called “Star of India” and weighs more than 563,35 carat and is now on display in The American Museum of Natural History. Predominantly sapphires are manufactured as jewellery and are either facett cut or cut as cabochon. The Jewellery Channel offers the most noble and most precious sapphire jewellery: rings, earrings, bracelets or necklaces – the offer is almost unmanageable.

Most valuable sapphire jewellery – at affordable prices

Gemstones are generally adorned to platinum, silver or gold jewellery and make each a real eye-catcher. Since The Jewellery Channel draws its good directly from the mines and therefore omits overpriced intermediary, they can offer the most valuable sapphire jewellery at an affordable price. Take for example the precious ring of white gold, adorned with wonderful Kanchanaburi sapphires or a gold ring, adorned with beautiful rainbow sapphires and dive into the blue ocean of saphires.
