Sapphire has evolved from the latin word 'saphirus' and the greek word 'sapheiros' which both mean blue. For centuries, Sapphire has been considered a royal gem, worn by Kings and Queens for protection. Kings wore sapphires around their necks as a powerful defence from harm.  Blue Sapphires traditionally, have acted as a symbol of the heavens, a guardian of innocence, a promoter of good health and a bestower of truth.
