Sapphires in September

Can you believe that it is already September!? With that means it is time to celebrate and spoil those born this month with sparkling blue sapphires.

 

So what is it that makes a sapphire so unique?

"I am a sapphire, the world rests upon my shoulders. The ancients have said that the blue of the wide heavens reflects my image; beyond blue my brilliant colors are as varied as the sunrise. I have been a talisman to emperors, saints and sorcerers. I have inspired Buddhist monks to pray and Hindus believe I will unite humanity with the heavenly spheres. Wear me with sincerity for I am the symbol of truth, and I will protect you always." - American Gem Society
