Sapphire Jewellery - September Birthstone
September's official birthstone is sapphire. This beautiful gemstone is valued for its deep blue colour, beauty and symbolism, often being associated with wisdom, truth and purity.
Centuries ago, sapphires were regarded as possessing protective qualities and were frequently used as talismans by monarchs. Today, sapphires continue to be prized for their exquisite allure and scarcity, finding prominent placement in luxurious jewellery items ranging from necklaces and earrings to engagement rings such as Kate Middleton's sapphire engagement ring given to her by Prince William.
