When you talk about sapphires most of us presume that the reference is to blue sapphires. It is true that the first encounter that man had with sapphires was with gems of this color. The blue color of sapphire gems was so ingrained in the minds of people that, any blue gem was at one time referred to as a sapphire. You might be interested to know that, much of praise showered on 'sapphire' centuries ago was made while implying another blue gem namely, blue lapis. Sapphire is a variety of corundum and can be found in a range of colors and when, this color is red it is named as ruby and is no longer a sapphire.
The SAPPH01 image shows some amazing yellow and orange sapphires, these colors are not common and you therefore might not find it easy to get a whole set to adorn a sapphire necklace or even a sapphire set that includes, a ring, pendant and earrings. When Claddagh365 designed and launched the historic sapphire claddagh ring, it was blue, green and pink sapphire that we were assured supplies of. While we did know of other fancy colors like yellow, orange and even purple sapphire gems - the analysis was that supply was sporadic and unsure. Having said that we must clarify that, might just be possible to get a piece of two of these gorgeous sapphires in the yellow to orange spectrum range.

The first claddagh ring was made about four centuries ago by an Irish slave. The young man crafted the jewel when he was mentally depressed, the idea was to keep himself in a mentally stable condition. By dreaming that he would gift this ring to his beloved the moment he was freed from slavery, the man managed to stay motivated. The features in the claddagh ring namely the heart, hands and crown were the essence of the jewel. He wished to immortalize his feelings for his beloved by depicting them in those features. The ring went on to become one of history's most meaningful jewels, the hands symbolized love, through the crown the man showed his loyalty to his beloved and the hands denoted friendship and togetherness.
