Ancient Persians had a beautiful legend about blue sapphires. They believed that the blue sky was a reflection of a huge sapphire on which the Earth rested. Can you imagine it? This legend gives us a glimpse of the importance of sapphire in Ancient Persian culture. Undoubtedly, this gem was perceived as powerful and symbolic.
Sapphires have been favored by royalty and aristocracy for centuries, and there are several reasons for that. Of course, it’s because of sapphire’s rarity and value, but also due to its metaphysical features, as people used to ascribe symbolic qualities to all gemstones. Elites wanted to benefit from sapphire’s protective property, namely its ability to shield from the evil eye and negative energy.
Sapphire is one of the hardest and most durable gemstones – it ranks 9 (where 10 is the maximum) on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. You may wonder what it means to you as an owner of this rock. This means that you can safely wear your custom sapphire earrings daily because they are resistant to scratching. However, you should remember that soap, harsh chemicals, and temperature changes may damage the stone or its structure. It’s better to remove your custom star sapphire earrings before taking a shower or swimming in the pool.
