The Brief Introduction To Pink Sapphire Gems History

By John S Stewart


Introduction to its History

The history and myths that surround the pink sapphire, are the same that are attributed to the other colours associated to sapphire.

Chastity and innocence has been linked to Pink Sapphire Jewellery, such as Pink Sapphire Rings, Pink Sapphire Earrings and Pink Sapphire Pendants, as well as an association with health to the body and mind, truth and preventing travel sickness. Along with happiness, peace and joy, the wearer would also be bestowed enhanced beauty.

The Persians used it internally and externally, and made a paste by mixing it with water to treat ailments and other common ailments by drinking it. If it was mixed with vinegar it could help eyesight problems, and if mixed with mil it would illuminate boils, spots, ulcers and other skin problems. It was also thought to help in medicine by treating such as fever, rheumatism and even nose bleeds!

It was worn by some civilizations to suppress all negative and suicidal type thoughts. It was believed to prevent the chance of being poisoned and would also kill poisonous snakes. Tribe leaders have been known to wear them carved into figures of men or rams, to signify their position of authority. Ivan the Terrible suggested that it would bring total strength to the body and mind for the onset of battle.

Some of the Far Eastern Countries thought that they would bring increased wisdom to the wearer, and the day that they would be shown off was the Saturday. Wizards and Sorcerers throughout both the eleventh and twelve century, tried to use them in physic and astrological concerns, and also for looking into the future as oracles. These beliefs and the study of the stars and heavens is carried on to this day. The people who belive in these properties are also offered total protection by the stone while doing so.

Although it was used by wizards, witches and such like to make up potions, it could also be equally used by people to dispel these bad concoctions, and send them directly back from whence they came. If you believed in its spiritual powers and properties, it could provide a safe path in to the universe and provide great protection against any future dangers.

Regarding spiritual awareness and practise, it provided increased communication to spirits and angels so to give better understanding of the after life. It provided an calming state to the mind and soul, and therefore kept peoples mental and inner state in greater equilibrium. It would clarify the thoughts of the mind and help for future focusing, as well as being able to treat any mental and nervous problems.

My Final Thoughts

They are to be found in many colours, but the pink sapphire and its "hot" and bright pink hues, is comparable to none. All these beautiful colour hues can be matched perfectly with surrounding diamonds to provide extra sparkle, as well as looking great in all styles of yellow and white gold settings. Whichever the style you may be lucky enough to have, please don't hide it away in a jewellery box, wear it, show it off and enjoy!
