Birthstones are the heartfelt jewellery items everyone should have in their gem repertoire. Each month of the year has a symbolic gemstone so that special dates and events can be immortilised in a beautiful jewellery item. This month the spotlight is on the enchanting August and September birthstones, peridot and sapphire.

Sapphire

Sapphires are the chic blue birthstones for September. Alongside ruby, emerald and diamond, sapphires are considered truly precious gemstones. Sapphires remain a popular choice for unusual engagement rings and are often given in celebrations of 5th, 45th and 70th anniversaries.
