Sapphire is one of the most highly prized gemstones on earth. Although they are most commonly associated with the color blue, they come in almost every color of the rainbow. These different colored sapphires really live up to their name of fancy colored sapphires because they shine with elegance.

In ancient times, many people believed that heaven was an enormous blue sapphire in which the earth was embedded - a metaphor reflecting on the beauty of both the sky above and the sapphires deep within the earth. This beautiful gemstone also comes in many other colors: not only in the transparent grayish-blue of a distant horizon but also in the gloriously colorful play of light in a sunset – in yellow, pink, orange and purple. Padparadscha acquires its name from the Sinhalese word “lotus flower,” because these sapphires hold the same beautiful orange-pink color of a lotus flower. Padparadscha sapphires are the rarest and most highly prized of the sapphire family.

Since white, yellow, and pink sapphires closely resemble colorless and colored diamonds, they make good substitutes for those with a budget - since diamonds can drain a whole bank account, much less a wallet. Color-change sapphires are also a great replacement for alexandrite.
