0.56ct Blue Sapphire 7-Stone Huggie Hoop Earrings 9ct YG

Few gems have held our attention over millennia as well as sapphire. The durability of this gem-quality member of the corundum family makes it an exceptional gemstone. But, did you know that not all sapphires are blue? The September birthstone comes in every color of the rainbow except red. The sapphire birthstone honors those born in September. Sapphire is the official state gemstone of Montana, USA, and Queensland, Australia. There’s no doubt that blue is sapphire’s most popular color, tied to the stone throughout history. The oldest record of sapphires is jewelry from 600-275 BC worn by ancient Italians called Etruscans. The sapphires came from Sri Lanka, the oldest and most significant source of sapphires. Roughly 95 percent of sapphires are heated to improve color and clarity, a practice dating back millennia.
