September Birthstone - The Story behind Sapphire
There is something unmistakably captivating about sapphire. Known for its rich, luminous color and enduring beauty, this remarkable gemstone has been treasured for centuries and remains just as relevant today.
Beyond its signature blue, sapphire has a fascinating story, from its symbolism and history to the different colors, cuts, and ways it can be worn today. In this edit, we explore what makes sapphire so special, how to style it, and the pieces we love most.
September, in Sapphire
September babies, this one is for you. Sapphire is the traditional birthstone of the month, symbolising wisdom, loyalty and sincerity. It also feels perfectly suited to Virgo season - refined, timeless and quietly distinctive.
More Than Blue
While deep blue is the shade we know best, sapphires can also be found in pink, yellow, green, purple and white. Even blue sapphires vary from soft, delicate tones to rich midnight hues, making every piece feel a little different.
Beautiful, durable and easy to wear, sapphire works effortlessly in both everyday and statement jewellery. We love it set against warm gold for a rich contrast or paired with sterling silver for a cooler, contemporary finish.
Natural or Created?
Sapphires can be either natural or created. Natural sapphires are formed within the earth over millions of years, giving each stone its own unique character. Created sapphires are grown in a controlled environment and share the same mineral composition and durability, often with a more consistent colour and clarity.
Both offer the beauty and strength sapphire is known for the difference is simply in how they are formed.
