September birthstone: Sapphire
The sapphire of September
Sapphire is September's birthstone and one of the most treasured gems in the world. It is a variety of corundum and ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, which makes it ideal for jewelry worn every day.
Most people picture deep blue, but sapphires come in almost every colour: pink, yellow, green, white and multi-colour. You'll find many of these shades in our collection.
The meaning of sapphire
Sapphire has traditionally been associated with wisdom, loyalty and sincerity, which is why it has been worn by royalty for centuries and chosen for engagement rings and anniversary gifts.
