Sapphires for September
September’s birthstone, the Sapphire, has been treasured for thousands of years for its blue-sky color, transparency and hardness. Sapphire is second to diamond on the hardness scale. The oldest gem in the British Crown Jewel collection is a sapphire and is the gemstone in princess Kate’s engagement ring. Blue sapphire is strongly associated with emotions such as sympathy, harmony, friendship, loyalty and unshakeable trust. Sapphire blue has become a color related to anything permanent and reliable, and this is one of the reasons why women in many countries choose sapphire for their engagement rings. It is only within the last 200 years that science has recognized sapphire as a gem form of the mineral corundum. Previous to this discovery, only the blue varieties of corundum were called sapphires. Now sapphires are recognized in all their incredible colors- green, pink, yellow, light red, orange and purple.
Sapphires are associated with romantic love, representing fidelity and romantic devotion. It helps one to find peace of mind and serenity and promotes a life of sincerity, helping preserve one’s innocence while learning life’s truths.
