Star Sapphires were especially shrouded in mystical properties – ‘The Asteria', or Star Sapphire, might be called a ‘Stone of Destiny’, as the three cross-bars which traverse it are believed to represent Faith, Hope, and Destiny. As the stone is moved, or the light changes, a living star appears. The Ancient Greeks associated Sapphire with the god Apollo. At the famous oracle at Delphi, Sapphires were often worn due to the belief that Sapphires are connected to the spirit world. In Hindu Mythology, the Kalpavriksha is a wish-fulfilling divine tree, described as being made up of precious stones. The fruits of the tree are Rubies, the base of the trunk is Diamond, and the roots of the tree are made of precious Sapphires. 5 – Ecclesiastical Sapphires

What We Don’t Love: Due to the lace portion, you’re required to hand wash the bra which can become tedious.

Natural and Flattering Silhouette -Lightly padded cups of our bra provide a natural and flattering silhouette, giving you the confidence to take on the day. We know you’re thinking: there is no way a wireless strapless bra will adequately hold up anything, but after testing it for several weeks, we learned it’s just as good as its underwire counterparts. Later on, Sapphires were popular with necromancers and witches, due to their supposed ability to tap into the ‘third eye’. 3 – Ancient Persia

The band comes with four different lengths with hooks, which is one more than most bras, to give us a little more freedom to customize the length to our bodies. And while it never felt too tight or painful, we did notice some markings on the skin from where the band and boning were as well — though we have to say, that’s not that uncommon with strapless bras that rely on tight, supportive bands to hold everything up. We did notice that the top began to curve outward ever so slightly after some wear, almost seeming like it stretched out. When on, we didn’t notice how it protruded when under a shirt, but we could predict that this may become more prominent after some wear. The Sapphire was like the pure sky, and mighty Nature had endowed it with so great a power that it might be called sacred and the gem of gems.’ 6 – Healing Everything we’ve mentioned so far has padding for an additional lift. But this one, however, does not. Instead, it offers a smooth layer over the bust and keeps things as minimal and sleek as possible. While there is an underwire that keeps the material in place, there is no boning on the sides, making this piece extra comfortable.

When trying this bra on our DD chest, we were pleased to find the wider bridge between the cups separating yet lifting our breasts, allowing us to easily avoid a potential uni-boob. The cushioned band around the ribs kept the bra from giving us any marks on our skin as well. We were pleased to find that the bra gave us full coverage, causing no spillage that might be detectable from underneath a shirt. Instead, it smoothed over our chest delicately. We found it to be ideal for more form-fitting tops, like tank tops and tight white tees.
