Definition
Sapphires belong to the family of minerals known as Corundum. Although they are best loved and most admired for their amazing blue colours, they also come a variety of other colours too, such as pink, purple, yellow, green, orange, brown, black, white and more.
Industry expert and sapphire aficionado, Kate Earlam-Charnley, design director at Taylor & Hart, US custom engagement ring and wedding band jewellers, says, “A sapphire is the perfect balance of classical beauty and contemporary expression, allowing you to choose one that reflects you or your partner’s personality.”
