September’s birthstone is one meant to bring a great destiny to its wearer, at least according to Middle Age beliefs. Sapphires often appeared in court and were frequently adorned by royalty. In modern times, sapphire is the fifth and forty-fifth wedding anniversary gem and the zodiac gem for Virgo. Sapphire can be found in a wide range of blues, although the very finest are a slightly violet and dark blue, known as Kashmir blue. Sapphire is the second hardest stone and is said to protect its owner from fraud, ill health and envy. It is mainly associated with truth, sincerity, commitment, loyalty.
Despite being the most durable of gems, care should always be taken when cleaning sapphires. For best results, use mild dish soap mixed with warm water and soak your sapphire jewelry for 20 minutes. Clean the surface of the stone with a soft cloth and rinse clean with clear, lukewarm water.
