Frequently Asked
Sapphire Earrings FAQ
Are sapphire earrings durable enough to wear daily?
Yes, more than almost any colored stone. Sapphire is Mohs 9, the hardest gem after diamond, so it resists the scratches and chips that worry buyers of softer stones. It is safe in prong settings and needs only occasional cleaning to stay bright.
Lab-grown or natural sapphire?
Both are real sapphire with identical hardness and color; a lab-grown stone is grown rather than mined, which reaches a larger, cleaner blue for less. Our concierge can source a certified natural sapphire and quote it before you order.
Is blue sapphire a birthstone?
Blue sapphire is the September birthstone and the traditional 5th and 45th anniversary gem, which makes a pair of sapphire earrings a natural gift for those milestones.
