Gemstones have been associated to the occult since ages. Emeralds have been associated with youth and verdure, sapphire is associated to longevity in love, ruby is believed to be associated with love, aquamarines with good luck, citrines with abundance in wealth and so on. many people buy gemstones for the beliefs these gemstones are associated to. While some people think the occult association is outdated theory.
but with sapphires the age old belief seems to hold good even in the modern age. as mentioned above sapphire is associated to endurance and believed to bring longevity in love. sapphire engagement rings are preferred by women not only owing to their aesthetics but also for their association o purity in love.
in olden days it was believed that if a person cheated on his or her spouse, the brilliance of the sapphire would dim. so couples wore sapphire rings to show heir pure love. and with Prince Charles presenting a sapphire engagement ring to Lady Di, the old association of sapphire and love became even stronger. and today sapphire is the new diamond for engagement rings. so if you are planing to get engaged this season, sizzle her wih a sensual sapphire… she’ll be yours forever.
