Sapphire Through History
Medieval clergy wore sapphire as a symbol of heaven, and it was believed to protect its wearer from envy and harm. Lapis lazuli — sapphire's ancient blue companion — was ground into ultramarine for sacred art and carved into amulets in Egypt and Mesopotamia; kyanite carries the same cool blue in a quieter form.
Giving a September Birthstone Gift
Deep blue is the most universally worn jewelry color after gold itself. For a September birthday, a lapis lazuli piece offers the month's blue with golden pyrite flecks that make every bead unique — a gift that looks far more personal than its price.
September Zodiac Signs
September birthdays fall under Virgo and Libra. The birthstone follows the month; each sign also has its own traditional lucky stone — a different system that happily overlaps.
