September Sapphire

7 July 2025 • 3 min read

With its royal heritage and luminous depth, sapphire is the September birthstone and one of the most sought-after and enduring gemstones. Whether it is dark blue, pale pink, or radiant yellow, sapphires transmit intelligence, fidelity, and timeless elegance.

Symbolic, chic, and wonderfully versatile, this gemstone is perfect for engagement rings, chokers, or personal talismans honoring clarity of purpose.

Sapphire has been valued for years as a stone of wisdom, truth, and spiritual alignment.

Ancient societies believed it could ward off damage, bring tranquility to the mind, and enhance spiritual awareness.

In both the East and the West, sapphire has been used in sacred settings from priests’ robes to royal coronation regalia as a representation of purity and divine sanction.

Linked to the third eye chakra, sapphire is said to focus concentration, encourage mental clarity, and attract spiritual guidance.

It’s ideal for anyone seeking truth in decision-making, calm during periods of transition, or defense from negative energy.

For September babies or anyone who craves depth and direction, sapphire offers an intense, grounding energy.

Blue sapphires are a timeless choice for engagement rings, pairing intense emotion with elegant color.

They appear stunning surrounded by white diamonds in modern and traditional styles—most famously in: Three-stone rings with diamond side stones, Halo rings with round or oval sapphire centers, Bezel settings for a smooth look with few lines.

For customers looking for something a little more different, coloured sapphires such as pink, peach, teal, or yellow offer a crisp and unexpected new twist. Other colours are great for customers who want a one-of-a-kind ring with personality, but still enjoy the renowned hardness of sapphire (a 9 on the Mohs scale).

Here at Ernesto Buono Fine Jewellery, we love to incorporate sapphires into heirloom-inspired pieces, often paired with engraving, filigree intricacy, or custom shank design that adds a fairytale-like romance to the completed piece.

Some of the world’s finest sapphires are the Ceylon sapphires of Sri Lanka today, which are famous for their high level of brightness, intense color saturation, and precision cut quality.

Ceylon sapphires typically feature a lighter, more saturated blue than Burmese sapphires and thus are especially resplendent in sunlight.

Each sapphire we incorporate into our boutique has been hand-selected for color, symmetry, and natural sparkle.

To order custom pieces, we offer customers an alternative source of rare Ceylon sapphires that are handcrafted, sustainably sourced to the design they envision, whether it be an engagement ring, anniversary gift, or milestone pendant.

Due to their remarkable hardness and color spectrum, sapphires are an upscale, emotional choice that will last for decades.

Sapphire is more than a gem—it’s a symbol of devotion, intelligence, and unwavering sophistication.

Commemorating a September birthday or creating an heirloom piece that tells your story, a custom sapphire design from our Parramatta boutique is an eternity investment in beauty and meaning.
