What Is the September Birthstone? A Guide to Sapphire Meaning and Jewelry
The Meaning Behind September’s Birthstone
The September birthstone, sapphire, has long been associated with truth, loyalty, and wisdom. Known for its rich royal blue hue, sapphire is one of the most beloved and durable gemstones, making it a meaningful choice not just for those born in September, but for anyone seeking a timeless, personal piece of jewelry.
At Brilliant Fine + Custom, sapphire holds a special place in many of our custom jewelry designs. Its depth of color, symbolic history, and enduring elegance make it an ideal stone for heirloom rings, custom pendants, and personalized gifts with lasting impact.
what Color Is the September Birthstone?
While sapphires are most commonly associated with deep, velvety blue, they actually occur in a wide range of colors including pink, yellow, green, and white. The exception is red, which classifies the stone as a ruby (a sibling within the corundum family).
That said, royal blue sapphire remains the most iconic, and is often the center piece of September birthstone jewelry.
What Does Sapphire Symbolize?
Throughout history, sapphire has been a symbol of:
Loyalty and devotion
Wisdom and clarity of thought
Protection from harm or envy
Spiritual insight and serenity
It’s no surprise that sapphire engagement rings have gained popularity among couples who value symbolism and sophistication. At Brilliant, many of our clients choose sapphire as a center stone for rings that feel classic yet bold.
Is Sapphire a Good Stone for Jewelry?
Absolutely. Sapphires rank 9 out of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, just beneath diamonds, making them incredibly durable and suitable for everyday wear. Their natural resilience and vibrant hue make them ideal for:
Engagement rings
Stacking rings
Stud earrings
Custom pendants
Heirloom redesigns
Whether you’re celebrating a September birthday or simply drawn to the elegance of blue, sapphire jewelry offers both style and substance.
