Sapphire September BirthstoneSapphire is one of the most varied birthstones, available in colours that range from corundum blue, yellow, purple, orange, or even appearing with a greenish hue.  The stone continues to be favoured in a wide range of jewellery and is often a popular choice for engagement rings and a range of gifts.

Historically the gemstone of choice for royalty, it was used adorn a huge array of jewellery and was widely thought to protect the wearer from harm and safeguard from jealously, as well as being worn to support peace treaty efforts after devastating battles.

Today, the stone has a more ornamental purpose, however it continues to be one of the most popular stones used in jewellery making all over the world.
