Feeling blue doesn't have to be a sad thing, especially when you're talking about sapphires. Sapphires are intensely beautiful gemstones that elicit feelings of passion, love, respect, and decadence. Sapphires most often are a deeply saturated shade of royal blue that manages to look playful and dignified at the same time.
The September birthstone is the most popular colored gemstone, coming in second only to diamonds. Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but sapphires are the stones of the heavens. You would move heaven and earth to make her smile, and gifting sapphire birthstone jewelry is the easiest and most beautiful way to prove it.

The sapphire became the September birthstone in 1912; it is also the gemstone for the 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries. Sapphires have long been associated with royalty, nobility, protection, and heaven throughout history. During medieval times, sapphires were thought to have healing powers, and many people still use them today for their believed healing properties.
With its rich history of elite and royal society using sapphires to adorn their wardrobes to protect them from harm, sapphire birthstone jewelry is the perfect metaphor for showing the woman you love how deeply you care for and respect her.

Princess Diana was a glorious trailblazer in many ways, and one example of this was her choosing her own engagement ring.
Princess Diana chose a 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire surrounded by 14 round diamonds, set in 18k white gold. It is one of the most iconic pieces of jewelry. Fun fact, her engagement ring was featured in the Garrard's catalog at the time, meaning any commoner could also purchase the ring; This caused quite a commotion throughout the royal family and the press.
What is a Ceylon Sapphire?
Ceylon sapphires, hailing from the historic Kashmir mines in a remote part of the Himalayan Mountains, are the rarest and most valuable of all sapphires. Ceylon sapphires are typically a vivid blue. The deeper the blue, the more valuable they are. Due to the treacherous terrain and dangerous conditions in modern-day Sri Lanka, mining has been halted at various points. This adds to the rarity of Ceylon sapphires and has cemented their status as superior sapphires.
