Diamonds are especially popular, spawning the saying and Marilyn Monroe's song about the relationship between girls and that particular gem. Despite the widespread use of sapphires, its historical use is quite a bit more convoluted.

While there is considerable debate on the birth of sapphires and its use in jewelry, historians believe that sapphires were not known until the Roman Empire. The name sapphire comes from the Hebrew word "sapphiros" which meant blue gem, a term used long before the Roman Empire. Another interesting myth to uncover would be how the Persians came to believe that the planet itself actually rests on a huge sapphire.
