History: The celestial blue colour of this gemstone symbolized heaven and attracted divine favour and wise judgment. Greeks wore sapphire for guidance when seeking answers from the oracle. Buddhists believed that it brought spiritual enlightenment, and Hindus used it during worship.

Silver's history is long. The first evidence of silver mining dates back to 3000 B.C., in Turkey and Greece, according to the RSC. Ancient people even figured out how to refine silver. They heated the silver ore and blew air over it, a process called cupellation.

The world class professional tennis player Evert was in the midst of a highly competitive match during which her string diamonds fell off her wrist, prompting the champion to request a pause for play so she could look for jewels. From then on, the name tennis bracelet was tied to Evert.Aug 3, 2021
