Strength of the Sapphire

Sapphire is a gemstone belonging to the corundum family. It comes in many colours like yellow, pink, white, blue and orange. Sapphire cannot be red as red in the corundum family is classified as ruby. The extensive array of colours makes sapphire a really great gemstone in terms of versatility.  It is a stone that can be used to design many pieces with many different and original design elements.

Sapphire measures 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. To put things into perspective, a diamond has the highest measure of 10. The remarkable strength of sapphire makes it a good choice for many jewellery styles. Jewellery is usually worn on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. This means it is subject to a large amount of wear and tear.

The constant scraping and rubbing can ruin some gems very quickly. Since sapphire is high on the hardness scale, it will not easily wear or scratch. It will be able to withstand most normal daily use. No gem or diamond can absorb the impact of being slammed with a hammer with enough force.  This is always good to keep in mind.  Sapphire is an excellent choice for gemstone engagement rings because it is stronger than other gemstone materials.
