Sapphire, Art & Science

Between science, history, and symbolism, gemstones reveal their different facets. L’ÉCOLE invites you to a series of talks to explore their history and their meanings, carried across the world.

A blue gem par excellence, the popularity of the sapphire is above all linked to its color.​

But beyond the symbolic importance of this gem, its success in jewelry is due to its remarkable physical properties.​

Join us and discover how sapphires have continued to captivate through their depth of color, their symbolism, and the timeless elegance they bring to every creation.​
