Sapphire became a favorite gem in rings and brooches for Medieval Kings. They believed that the sapphire would protect them from harm and envy. By the time of the Renaissance, sapphires were coveted by the wealthy and influential and were credited with the ability to prevent poverty, making an irritable man good-tempered and a stupid man wise.
