Sapphires: The September Birthstone and Timeless Symbol of Love 

Sapphires are the stunning birthstone for September, and they also make a beautiful gift for 5th wedding anniversaries and are the traditional gemstone for the 45th wedding anniversary. Known for their striking beauty and rich symbolism, sapphires have been cherished for centuries and continue to captivate jewellery lovers around the world.

While blue sapphires are the most well-known, these gemstones actually come in a wide range of colours, from pinks and greens to yellows and purples. Interestingly, red sapphires are more commonly known as rubies. The word “sapphire” itself is derived from the Latin and Greek words sapphirus and sappheiros, meaning “blue”, which is why blue sapphires are often the most iconic.

Whether you are celebrating a September birthday, marking a 5th wedding anniversary, or honouring a 45th wedding milestone, sapphires make a meaningful, elegant gift. Their rich history and timeless beauty ensure they are cherished for generations to come.
