Sapphire was also one of the twelve precious stones incorporated into the breastplate of the High Priest of Israel.

The Sapphire birthstone was originally worn by ancient Greeks and the Greek God Apollo. Having recently visited Greece we were excited to incorporate the Sapphire precious gemstone into this lovely and most popular huggie design.

Sapphire Care and Cleaning Guide:

Firstly, avoid showering while wearing the Sapphire earrings. The chemicals in hair care products and dirt and oil from your hair can easily accumulate on the earrings. Never wear your Sapphire jewelry in the swimming pool, as the harsh chemicals may damage the piece. The best way to clean your Sapphires is with a soft bristle brush and mild soap with warm water. Soak your Sapphires for a few minutes in a solution of warm water and mild soap. Use a soft brush to clean around the setting and restore the gem's luster. Rinse the earrings in a fresh bowl of water. Wipe with a soft cloth and dry for a few hours before storing or wearing. Ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaners may be used but are not necessary to clean your Sapphire gemstones.
