History of Sapphires and Diamonds

Sapphire has long been one of the most desired and revered gemstones. Its deep blue color has made it a symbol of wisdom, nobility, and truth. Throughout history, it has been the favorite gem of many royal families, adorning coronation jewels, engagement rings, and even religious pieces. One of the world’s most famous sapphires is the one featured in Princess Diana’s engagement ring, now worn by the Princess of Wales. This stone, part of the corundum family, is one of the hardest after diamond, making it ideal for frequently worn jewelry.

Diamonds, on the other hand, have fascinated humans since ancient times. The name comes from the Greek "adamas," meaning indomitable, a direct reference to its extreme hardness. They have long been symbols of eternal love, purity, and power. In the Middle Ages, they were believed to possess healing and magical properties, and during the Renaissance, they were worn by nobles as a sign of authority. Today, a well-cut diamond remains one of the purest and most brilliant expressions of sophistication and luxury. The combination of diamonds and sapphires in a single jewel enhances the best of both gems, blending tradition, durability, and timeless beauty.
