Who invented the idea of birthstones?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The origin of the birthstone goes back thousands of years to the time of Moses. It was at his command that the Breast Plate of the High Priest was made with the twelve colors, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, and a corresponding gemstone was attributed to each color. Over the centuries, the number twelve developed mystical proportions. There were twelve tribes of ancient Israel, twelve apostles, twelve foundation stones of the Holy City, twelve months of the year and twelve signs of the zodiac. As time passed, people wanted to own all twelve stones of the sacred Breast Plate and began wearing one gemstone set into a piece of jewelry each month and changing it as the months changed. Eventually, in a quest for individuality, people began wearing only his or her stone of birth all year, giving birth to the twelve birthstones. Each birthstone supposedly represents a magical power. Some were said to ward off evil, protect the wearer in battle, cure blindness, gout and palsy, and even immunize the wearer from drunkenness.........

Which month birthstone is sapphire red?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sapphire birthstone is blue not red. It can be other colors but not pink or red.

_________________________________________________________

There are 2 red birthstones which are January-Garnet and July-Ruby. Sept is Blue Sapphire.

The sapphire is one of the two or three gem-varieties of corundum, with another one being the red or deep pink ruby. Although blue is their most well-known hue, sapphires are made up of any color of corundum except for red (red ones are called rubies). Sapphires may also be colorless, and they are also found in shades of gray and black.

Yellow and green sapphires are also commonly found. Pink sapphires deepen in color as the quantity of chromium increases. The deeper the pink color the higher their monetary value as long as the color is trending towards the red of rubies.

Sapphires also occur in shades of orange and brown, and colorless sapphires are sometimes used as diamond substitutes in jewelry. Padparadscha sapphires often draw higher prices than many of even the finest blue sapphires. Padparadscha is a pink-orange corundum, with a low to medium saturation and light tone

Where does sapphire get its name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From the Online Etymolgy Dictionary: 1272, from Old French saphir (12c.), from Latin sapphirus(cf. Spanish zafir, Italian zaffiro), from Greek sappheiros "blue stone" (the gem meant apparently was not the one that now has the name, but perhaps rather "lapis lazuli," the modern sapphire perhaps signified by Greek hyakinthos), from a Semitic source (cf. Hebrew sappir "sapphire"), but probably not ultimatetly from Semitic; some linguists propose an origin in Sanskrit sanipriya, a dark precious stone (perhaps sapphire or emerald), literally "sacred to Saturn," from Sani "Saturn" + priyah "precious." (I spelled out the Language names that were abbreviated and highlighted them with bold lettering).

How do you identify a doctored image on jewelry Gemstone sapphire selling website?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There may be hundreds of online jewelry, color stone e-retailers.

While buying sapphires, ruby or color stones the "color tone" is of principal importance. It is the primary criterion to valuate a color stone. For example deep blue natural sapphire may cost 300% more than light blue sapphire. A stone image can be easily manipulated for color, hue and depth.

Recently I read a discussion on how a New York based Natural Sapphire company manipulated imagines to enhance the cost of the stones. To read that discussion yourself, see the page link, further down this page, in Sources and Related Links.
