BLUEBERRY SAPPHIRETM

Throughout history, sapphires have always been associated with the color blue, perhaps most likely due to their name, which comes from the Greek word sappheiros (blue stone). Traditionally, sapphire symbolizes truth, sincerity, and faithfulness. In history, clergy members wore the gem to symbolize Heaven. In ancient Greece and Rome, the royals believed sapphires protected them from envy and harm. Sapphires have also been closely associated with romance and the royals, most recently in modern times. In 1981, Prince Charles gave Lady Diana Spencer a blue sapphire engagement ring. The same ring was later given to Kate Middleton by Prince William

But all sapphires are not blue and, in fact, come in a rainbow of colors including varying shades of blue as well as “fancy sapphires” in pink, yellow, orange, lavender, purple. Blues can be pure blue but may have a range from greenish blue to violet blue. The blue in a sapphire is the result of trace elements of iron and titanium; the more iron in the sapphire, the darker the blue.

"Le Vian® utilizes exacting standards for its genuine sapphires, choosing only those with a rich royal blue, blueberry flavor for designs which feature the September birthstone"

Sunny Yellow Diamonds®

The most prized shades of yellow diamonds are the pure, rich shades, its yellow color obtained through the presence of nitrogen. While natural fancy color yellow diamonds are rarer than brown diamonds and more abundant than other natural color diamonds, this sunny bright diamond still represents just a small portion of overall production, each a one-of-a-kind and 10,000 times rarer than a white diamond.

Famous yellows include The Incomparable, the world’s largest internally flawless diamond which weighs 407.48 carats and is a deep brownish yellow, the 253.70-carat yellow octahedral Oppenheimer Diamond crystal and 101.29carat Allnatt Fancy Vivid yellow with a clarity grade of VS2.
