Sapphire
Birthstone: September
Anniversary: 5th, 45th
Part of the corundum family, sapphires occur in every color except red (which are rubies), from the classic cornflower blue to vibrant pinks, sunny yellows, and everything in between. Notable sources include Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa, and Montana, USA, where some of our favorite stones originate. Some specimens exhibit "asterism," creating a moving star effect that seems to dance across the surface: a truly magical phenomenon that adds extra wonder to these already captivating gems.
Ancient Persians believed Earth rested on a giant sapphire, creating the sky's brilliant blue color. Medieval clergy wore sapphires to represent Heaven and believed they could cure plague and eye diseases. The gem gained renewed fame through Princess Diana's iconic engagement ring, cementing its place as a symbol of wisdom, loyalty, and noble beauty, perfect for pieces that celebrate both everyday elegance and life's most precious moments.
