NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: In the world of the ancient Mediterranean(including the Greeks. Romans, Persians, Hebrews, and the various Indo-European Celtic tribes) priests and sorcerers honored the sapphire above all other gems, believing that sapphire enabled them to interpret oracles and foretell the future. Medieval sorcerers believed that sapphire enabled them to hear and understand the most obscure oracles.

On the flip side, Medieval populations believed that wearing a sapphire as a talisman was an antidote to black magic and effects of evil spirits, and provided protection against sorcery. It was believed to banish evil spirits and send negative spells back to the sender. Sapphires have been since ancient times one of the most highly valued of all gemstones, and references to the gemstone date back to about 800 B.C. Here's a gorgeous. Sparkling, delicately hued pastel pumpkin-amber orange sapphire from the fabulous Ural Mountains of Russia. This particular gemstone was hand cut and faceted into a briolette teardrop, an old fashioned cut reflecting its heritage.

DETAIL: In the medieval world sapphire was also held to be a symbol of truth and constancy. And in the 12th century, the Bishop of Rennes praised the blue of the sapphire as representing heaven, and initiated its use in ecclesiastical rings and other ecclesiastical jewelry. Medieval European populations believed wearing a sapphire suppressed negative thoughts, and possessed curative powers over natural ailments. Sapphires were also used as medicine for treatment of eye diseases and as an antidote for poison. As a talisman, medieval wearers of sapphire regarded the stone as an antidote to black magic and effects of evil spirits, and providing protection against sorcery. It was believed to banish evil spirits and send negative spells back to the sender. Medieval sorcerers believed that sapphire enabled them to hear and understand the most obscure oracles. Here’s a gorgeous. Vibrantly colored natural bright blue sapphire precious gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia.
