From Royalty to Modern Charm: What Makes September's Birthstone So Special?

Elegance in Blue


As the vibrant summer months transition into the crisp embrace of autumn, September arrives, bringing with it the deep, mesmerizing allure of its birthstone, the sapphire.

A gemstone revered for its rich hues and profound symbolism, the sapphire is more than just a birthstone; it’s a piece of history, a statement of elegance, and a treasure to be cherished for generations. At Raffi Jewellers, we celebrate the timeless beauty of sapphires, offering exquisite jewellery that embodies the essence of this magnificent gem.

The Majesty of the Sapphire: A Stone of Wisdom and Royalty


For centuries, sapphires have been associated with nobility, wisdom, and divine favour. The word "sapphire" itself is derived from the Latin "sapphirus," meaning blue, a colour long revered by ancient cultures as a symbol of the heavens. But sapphires are not confined to just one hue. While the deep blue sapphire is the most iconic, these gems also come in a stunning array of colours, from pink and yellow to the rare and captivating padparadscha, a blend of pink and orange.

The sapphire’s association with royalty is legendary. From the ancient kings of Persia who believed the sky was painted blue by the reflection of sapphires, to modern royalty, such as the famous sapphire engagement ring worn by Princess Diana and now by the Duchess of Cambridge, this gem continues to captivate hearts around the world.

The Meaning Behind the Stone


Sapphires are often seen as symbols of wisdom, virtue, and good fortune. Traditionally, they have been believed to protect the wearer from envy and harm, bringing peace of mind and serenity. For those born in September, the sapphire offers a personal connection to these qualities, making it a meaningful choice for birthstone jewellery.

At Raffi Jewellers, we understand the deep emotional significance a sapphire piece can hold. Whether you’re selecting a sapphire ring to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or simply to express your love, our collection is curated to offer the finest quality stones that will resonate with you and your loved ones.

Colour: The most prized sapphires display a deep, velvety blue that seems to glow from within. However, sapphires also enchant in shades of pink, yellow, and green.

Clarity: While sapphires are known for their rich colours, their clarity is also essential.

Cut: The cut of a sapphire determines how well it reflects light, influencing its overall sparkle.
