September is for Sapphires

September is for the sapphire lovers! While this well loved birthstone is widely recognized in blue, sapphires come in a rainbow of hues, except red which has it’s own name… ruby! Sapphires come from a variety of exotic locations such as Sri Lanka, Myanmar, India, Madagascar and a much closer to home… Montana! They are a very durable gemstone. The only natural gemstone that is harder is diamond! This makes it a great choice for rings as well as other types of jewelry worn frequently.

For those who love a little celebrity fact: Princess Diana’s engagement ring, now worn by Kate Middleton, is a stunning 12-carat oval blue sapphire surrounded by 14 diamonds and is one of the most celebrated pieces of jewelry in the world!
