Sapphire gems are commonly found in shades of blue although they can be of different colours. Other names for variations of the colour sapphire are blue sapphire or sapphire blue.
Named for the rich blue shade of the precious gemstone, sapphire is not only pleasing to the eyes but is also a very flexible colour that many can wear successfully.
Do not confuse this colour with the royal blue. Sapphire blue is lighter and brighter than royal blue. Sapphire is beautiful and magnificent and its constancy and durability are the qualities that attract gemstone lovers and specialists alike.
It is for these reasons why people who want to attach royalty to their events go for sapphire blue.
The colour symbolises royalty, but at the same time gives expression to people's love and longing.
Thus, the blue of the sapphire has become a colour which fits in with everything that is constant and reliable. That is one of the reasons why women in many countries wish for a sapphire ring on their engagement.
Sapphire blue gemstones work well with blue, navy and yellow attire. We all have black shoes, bags, watches and other accessories.
Interestingly, sapphire is striking when paired with black. Make your dress work appropriately by adding black pump heels or wedges with simple silver jewellery.
You can also wear a sapphire shirt or blouse over a cute pencil white skirt or jeans and it would still look good on you or better still, combine yellow with sapphire blue and you would have heads turning towards your direction.
