The sapphire birthstone is one of the most beloved gemstones in history, exuding elegance, wisdom, and a deep blue hue that has mesmerized people for centuries.

But sapphires aren’t just for royalty (or anyone born in September, for that matter). They’re one of the world’s most iconic blue gemstones, cherished not only for their rich blue color but also for their deep symbolic meanings. Think of sapphires as your personal talisman for clarity, protection, and that 'I have my life together' energy.

So whether you’re a September birthdays baby or just someone drawn to the magic of this gorgeous blue stone, let’s dive into what makes sapphires come with so much allure and why they deserve a spot in your designer jewelry collection.

A Quick History of the Sapphire: Royalty, Protection & Power

You know something is special when it’s been revered for thousands of years. The sapphire gemstone has been adored since ancient civilizations—from the Persians who believed the earth sat on a giant sapphire, to the medieval kings who wore sapphire jewelry as a shield against harm and envy.

Then there’s the whole associated with royalty thing. The most famous sapphire in modern history? The sapphire engagement ring first worn by Princess Diana and now by the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. It’s the ultimate proof that a blue sapphire is both timeless and effortlessly chic.But before sapphires were dazzling on engagement rings, they were mined from legendary locations. The deep blue beauties were discovered in Kashmir around 1881, and Sri Lanka quickly became a hotspot for some of the most breathtaking sapphire gemstones on the planet. Even today, some of the finest blue sapphires come in every color—yep, not just blue! These gems are actually a variety of the mineral corundum, and while blue is the classic shade, they also come in pink, yellow, green, and even white.
