Nothing beats the fiery beauty of September’s gemstone, the majestic sapphire!

September’s gemstone, as well as the 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gemstone, is the brilliant blue sapphire. Easily one of the world’s most treasured and desired gemstones, a sapphire piece of jewelry will make a priceless addition to any jewelry collection. Let’s look closer at the symbol of nobility, the sapphire!

What is September’s Gemstone or Birthstone?

Ranking as a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, the sapphire is a strong and durable gemstone perfect for almost any occasion, casual or formal. Along with being the 5th and 45th-anniversary gemstone, sapphires have long been considered a symbol of nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness.

Sapphire Facts and Symbolism

The name sapphire originates from the Greek word sappheiros, and kings and queens in Ancient Rome and Greece believed that wearing blue sapphires would protect them from danger and harm. Later, during the Middle Ages, many people believed that by wearing blue sapphires, they would attract blessings from God. For the longest time, sapphires have been associated with royalty and nobility, along with being a symbol of romance.

The History of the Sapphire

While the sapphire is commonly recognized as being blue, it was only in the 1990s that new sources of fancy-colored sapphires were discovered, making them available in purple, pink, orange, and yellow.

Princess Diana’s engagement ring, now worn by Princess Kate, features one of the most well-known sapphires in the world. The value of sapphires is primarily determined by their size, clarity, and color, with blue sapphires and violet tones being the most sought-after.

The world’s most expensive sapphire is the Blue Belle of Asia, which sold for over $17 million in 2014 to a mysterious unknown buyer. It weighs in at 392.52 carats and is suspended on a spectacular brilliant cut diamond tassel pendant mounted on a white gold and diamond necklace.

The Best Way to Wear Your Sapphire Jewelry

Because of their association with nobility and class, sapphires are perfect for formal occasions such as black tie events, formal dinners, and galas. Try tying together any sapphire jewelry with hoops for a touch of style.

If you’re the bride-to-be, sapphire rings, earrings, bracelets, or necklaces make the perfect addition to your special days’ attire and definitely cover the ‘something blue’ requirement. Ultimately, there’s no wrong time to wear a sapphire; if you love these gemstones, there’s always a way to pair them with any ensemble, adding a touch of class.
