Mythical Properties
Sapphires traditionally have signified trust and loyalty meaning it has always been a popular stone to set into engagement rings. In legend and history Sapphires have also had even more mystical powers attributed to them. It is said that the wearer of a Sapphire will be protected from poisons and evil spirits.

Price
The price of Sapphire is highly dependant upon its quality. Good quality Sapphires can match prices with its highly prized sister stone, Ruby.
