Sapphires are one of the hardest gemstones, ranking 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This exceptional hardness makes them highly resistant to scratches, making them suitable for everyday wear in jewelry.
Sapphires are typically transparent to translucent, with excellent clarity. High-quality sapphires are prized for their lack of inclusions (internal flaws) and their ability to refract light beautifully.
The source of a sapphire can also impact its value. Some well-known sapphire-producing regions include Kashmir (famous for its intense blue sapphires), Burma (now known as Myanmar), Sri Lanka (Ceylon), and Madagascar.
Sapphires have been associated with qualities such as wisdom, nobility, and faithfulness. They have been worn as symbols of protection and good fortune.
