Sapphire

Sapphires are the appropriate traditional and modern gift symbol for the 45th Wedding Anniversary and the modern gift symbol for the 85th Wedding Anniversary.

The sapphire has long been associated with love and friendship. The Greeks believed that the colour of the stone would change depending on the mood of its owner, making it a great gift for someone you care about.

Sapphires come in all colours of the rainbow, including pure blue. They are also available in all cuts, from round to pear-shaped, oval and cushion.

Sapphire jewellery can be worn by both men and women and there are many different types of settings that can be used for these stones including solitaires, necklaces and bracelets. The fire or sparkle that a sapphire has is one of its most attractive features because it makes them appear more colourful than other types of gems such as diamonds or rubies.
