Sapphires in September

Sapphires in September

Sapphires are the birthstone for people born in September. As one of the hardest wearing gemstones, they are great for everyday wear - and make the perfect gift for the practical Virgo.

The ancient Persians believed the earth rested on a giant sapphire and that its reflection was what made the sky blue.

But actually, sapphires are not just blue, they can also be found in many different shades, including pinks, yellows, oranges, peach and violet colours. The only colour it is not found in is red, because this would be a ruby, however both stones are derived from the same mineral (corundum).

At Jens Hansen we have available a stunning selection of sapphires in a wide range of colours, a few of which are pictured opposite.
