Spotlight on Sapphire, birthstone for September! Did you know that ALL these gorgeous coloured gemstones are sapphires?

While best known as a blue stone, sapphires can be every colour in the rainbow! Sometimes they contain delicate intersecting needles of rutile that gemologists call "silk". These can give the sapphire a shimmering, opalescent quality, which looks very pretty.

Sapphire has a Moh's hardness of 9 and is a very hard stone, making it a fantastic choice for everyday jewellery and engagement rings. Possibly the most famous sapphire engagement ring was Princess Diana's blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring, now worn by Kate Middleton.
