SAPPHIRE is Septembers Birthstone

The sapphire is best known for its beautiful blue color, but it can range from violet-blue to navy-blue. Part of the same corundum family as the ruby, stones in violet, green, yellow, orange, pink, and purple are known as “fancy sapphires.”

Corundum is naturally colorless, but trace amounts of elements like iron, titanium, and chromium lead to the range of colors. Outside of red corundum (rubies), all other corundum gems are considered sapphires.

Iron and titanium are responsible for a sapphire’s blue color, and the more iron present, the darker the blue color of a sapphire. Yellow and orange sapphires get their color from the presence of iron and chromium, while pink sapphires are a result of high amounts of chromium. A purple color is a combination of all three trace elements.

Sapphires are predominately from Sri Lanka. It can also be found in Africa, China, India, and in the United States—most notably, Montana.

One of the most famous sapphires is the 12-carat engagement ring given to Princess Diana. The ring was passed down and is now worn by the Duchess of Cambridge.

Sapphires are also the gemstone for 5th and 45th wedding anniversary.
