This high hardness means that a sapphire is exceptionally resistant to scratches and abrasion, making it an ideal candidate for daily wear in rings and bracelets when set thoughtfully. While hardness is a measure of scratch resistance, care is still advisable to protect against hard impacts and sharp blows, and a protective setting such as a bezel or a well designed prong mounting can further safeguard the stone. For the discerning collector, this Tanzanian heart shaped sapphire is more than a jewel, it is a statement of achievement, a reflection of cultivated taste, and a lasting investment in beauty.
