Discussing The Pink Sapphire Gemstones History

By John S Stewart


History Introduction

All the myths and surrounding beliefs attached to the pink sapphire gemstone, are in fact exactly the same as those attached to the other colours of that gemstone.

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.

It was ground up into a sort of watery paste by the Persian people, who believed that if it was ingested it would act as a general tonic to combat illness and other natural ailments. It could treat nose bleeds, fever, rheumatism and if mixed with vinegar would help resolve eyesight problems. If it was mixed with milk and added to the infected area, it would provide treatment to ulcers and boils.

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.

In China and other Eastern Countries, Saturdays were the day that this gemstone was supposed to be worn, and its colour on this day would indicate that the wearer had increased wisdom. Throughout the 11th and 12th Centuries, wizards, sorcerers and witches of the day used it more than any other to try to see into the future, as well as other physic and astrological beliefs. Today it is still used in the study of the heavens and the star systems. The people who worshiped it in these, ways were offered its protection while they studied its powers.

Oppositely to the latter, it would also provide protection to individuals against any wrongful doing by the witches, wizards and sorcerers. It could send directly back any type of evil spell to the person who conjured it up originally. It would also offer a spiritual path to the universe so as to enable individuals to believe in its properties and powers, and in doing so would give people increased energies as well as providing warnings against future danger.

It was commonly believed that it could give a much better understanding into the after life, and the interaction between the living and angels and other spirits. A persons mental and inner soul state could be calmed and offered a better level of equilibrium, and that the mind could be helped by these gems to focus on future happenings. It could even treat any mental problems and disorders.

My Summary

The pink sapphire is just one of the colours that are found within the sapphire family. These gemstones provide great contrasts to both settings in yellow and white gold, and their fantastic "hot" pink hues look great when accompanied by diamonds. Whatever the style of pink sapphire jewellery you have chosen, please show it off and wear it as much as possible. You both deserve it!
