And if blue isn’t your thing, sapphires come in a rainbow of colours to suit every style and personality.

More Than Just Blue

While rich blue sapphires are the most well-known, sapphires are part of the corundum family of gemstones, which can form in almost every colour of the spectrum. These “fancy sapphires” are natural, beautiful, and each colour carries its own charm:

• Yellow Sapphires – Cheerful and golden, symbolising warmth, optimism, and joy.
• Pink Sapphires – Romantic and feminine, ranging from soft blush tones to vibrant magenta.
• Green Sapphires – Earthy and calming, perfect for nature lovers.
• Purple Sapphires – Regal and mysterious, with a luxurious depth of colour.

Because sapphires come in so many colours, they’re a gemstone that can suit every personality and style. Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of blue or want something vibrant and unusual like pink or yellow, there’s a sapphire that’s perfect for you.

September Birthstone

Sapphire is September’s birthstone and also the traditional gemstone for the 45th wedding anniversary, making it a meaningful choice for celebrating a lifelong love story.

The tradition of linking gemstones to each month dates back thousands of years. In ancient times, the stones on the Breastplate of Aaron were associated with the zodiac and later connected to the months of the year. Over centuries, this evolved into the birthstone calendar we know today.

Sapphire, with its rich history, became the gemstone for September because of its deep symbolism. Ancient Persians believed the sky’s blue colour was a reflection of a giant sapphire. In the Middle Ages, it was thought to protect its wearer from harm and envy. Across cultures, sapphires came to represent wisdom, loyalty, truth, and protection - qualities that felt fitting for the month of September, a time of transition and reflection as summer turns into autumn.

Choosing Sapphire Jewellery

Sapphires look stunning in all types of jewellery — from classic solitaire rings to modern pendants and earrings. They can be paired with diamonds for a luxurious sparkle and set in white or yellow gold for different effects.

Because sapphires are second only to diamonds in hardness, they are strong enough for everyday wear, making them perfect for both casual and formal occasions.
