Sapphires and Sophistication
SEPTEMBER ALREADY?
Get ready for a stylish season ahead because nothing says sophistication quite like September’s birthstone. With its links to royalty and iconic beauty; Sapphire is the perfect gemstone to make a statement that oozes elegance and class.
The sapphire is said to symbolise wisdom and purity and boasts an exceptionally rich history. In ancient Greece and Rome, it was often worn by royals to magnetize wealth and was believed to protect from envy and harm. Helen of Troy was known to have worn a stunning large star sapphire to compliment her captivating beauty. Lady Diana’s sensational 12-carat Ceylon sapphire engagement ring now belongs to The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton which was given to her by Prince William for their engagement. The stunning ring is complemented by its dazzling diamond halo that fits perfectly with the gemstone.
Not only has this stone held importance within royal circles, it is also said to have been of great importance to religious leaders in the middle ages. It is said they believed the gemstone was connected to heaven and thought it would bring many blessings.
If you’re a September baby or know a special someone that is, let those sapphire jewels do all the talking. Explore our favourite sapphire trends for Autumn jewellery looks and chic September birthday gifts.
