The most common variety of corundum is sapphire, which ranks 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, just shy of diamond, thus placing sapphire on the list of durable gems for everyday wearing. From dark blue to pink, yellow, green, purple, white, and black, sapphires possess multiple shades, with the term fancy sapphires being applied to the multi-colored types. The red variety of corundum is called ruby.
Symbolism and Birthstone Meaning
For countless centuries, sapphire has been viewed as embellished with royal significance and sacred beliefs. It was thought that it would shield its wearer from any evil, bring blessings upon him or her, and symbolize truth and fidelity. Hence, now it is commonly found in engagement rings, spiritual jewelry, and tokens of heartfelt gifts.
Sapphire is the birthstone for September and the traditional gemstone for the 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries. Giving the gift of sapphire jewelry is an ageless way to express love, commitment, and protection.

Natural vs. Lab-Created Sapphire
Natural and lab-created sapphires share the same mineral- corundum- and physical and chemical attributes. However, the origin is the difference. Natural sapphire comes from the Earth, often with unique inclusions that add to its charm. Lab-created sapphire with the same appearance is priced less and with a more eco-friendly procedure.
Taking Care of Your Sapphire
Sapphires are pretty easy to care for because they are tough. Keeping up their sparkle involves regular cleaning with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners if your sapphire is set with delicate metals or accent stones.
