Blue Sapphires are probably one of my favourite gemstones, I have various pieces, rings, bangles & necklaces that complement each other. By far my favourite is one of my many blue sapphire brooches that I picked up at a boot sale several years ago. It was possibly one of the most exciting finds I have had at a boot sale. It is in the shape of a pretty flower which has blue sapphires gemstone petals set in an old silver setting.
One of the most famous, and the second largest sapphire gemstone has to the Logan Sapphire, named after Sir John Logan, who donated the gemstone to the Smithsonian Institute in 1960. The cushion cut gemstone is set in a brooch surround. It is one of the most beautiful Blue Sapphire Brooches I have ever seen, although weighing in at 423 carats (84.6g) I doubt my coat lapel could carry it!.
My blue sapphire brooch is not nearly as big as the Logan gemstone, and not nearly as perfectly set, but it is one of the brightest I have, and shimmers& shines in the sun, reflecting an amazing array of beautiful colours when hit by natural light.
I am always looking to add to my sapphire gemstone collection and have earmarked this lovely blue sapphire brooch as a xmas pressie to myself!
I have found this perfect little blue sapphire brooch on Swarovski. This adorable rhodium-plated brooch sparkles in various different shades of white, blue and green crystals. The blue epoxy perfectly complements the Indian Sapphire crystal pavé. This cute accessory adds a touch of colour to any outfit.
