September Sapphire
The striking deep blue of a
quality sapphire is reminiscent of a cloudless night sky. Ancient
civilizations believed that the world was set upon an enormous sapphire,
which painted the sky blue with its reflection. This legend, as well
as the belief that the ten commandments were inscribed upon tablets made
of sapphire, gives September’s birthstone a royal place among
gemstones.Named after the Greek word "sapphirus", meaning blue, Sapphires have long been a favorite among priests and kings, who considered them symbolic of wisdom and purity. These gemstones are prominent among the British Crown Jewels, and Prince Charles chose this as the engagement stone for his fiancée, Princess Diana.
In ancient times, Sapphires were thought to be
protective against envy, and even against poisoning. A common belief
was that a venomous snake placed in a Sapphire vessel would rapidly
die! Ground to a powder, the blue stone was believed to cure colic,
rheumatism and mental illness, and to strengthen eyesight.
The Sapphire is second only to the Diamond in
hardness, making it a durable gemstone for setting into jewelry. A gift
of Sapphire represents sincerity and faithfulness. As nourishing to the
soul as gazing up at the sky on a summer day, this brilliant blue
gemstone is truly a heavenly choice!Here at NY Diamond Boutique we have a wide selection of Sapphire Stones , in various styles of jewelry such as bracelets, rings, bangles, and pendants.
