While some gemstones rise and fall with the tides of fashion, sapphires have always held their place as a favourite. For many, it’s the irresistible pull of that deep, velvety blue. But sapphires are more than just a pretty face, they carry layers of history, meaning, and quiet magic that make September-born souls a little luckier than most.
A Stone of Protection and Meaning
For centuries, sapphires were thought to shield their wearers from harm, stress and, quite dramatically, snakes. Legend has it that dropping a venomous snake into a sapphire vessel would strike it dead. (We prefer to admire sapphires sparkling on fingers or catching the light in earrings rather than doubling as reptile repellant, of course.)
It’s no wonder that sapphire engagement rings remain so meaningful. Beyond their beauty, sapphires are said to represent honesty, loyalty, and trust qualities at the heart of love. Perhaps that’s why Princess Diana’s iconic sapphire engagement ring, now worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales, continues to inspire couples around the world.

Beyond Blue: A World of Colour
Though most associated with deep blue, sapphires come in an astonishing array of colours. Yellow sapphires bring warmth, pink sapphires radiate romance, and orange sapphires glow with fiery vibrance. Some stones even blur the lines between shades, shifting from purple-pink to orange-pink depending on the light.

Parti-coloured or “phenomenon” sapphires add another layer of wonder, changing colour as they move between natural daylight and evening light. White sapphires, meanwhile, offer a diamond-like sparkle perfect for those seeking something timeless yet a little more personal.
