What are the two birthstones of September?
The two birthstones for the month of September are sapphire and lapis lazuli. Sapphire is in the same family as ruby (a July birthstone), prized as one of the most precious gemstones in the world. It is joined by lapis lazuli as the month’s second traditional stone. Lapis lazuli carries a regal history. It was treasured by Egyptian monarchs and the Indus Valley Civilization as a symbol of divine connection. Together, these two stones have represented protection, nobility and a connection to something greater for thousands of years.
What is the September birthstone colour?
Sapphire takes its name from the Persian lazvard, the colour of the clear sky. The Persians believed the sky itself borrowed its colour from a giant sapphire resting beneath the Earth. Lapis lazuli carries the sky in a different way: deep celestial blue with specks of gold, as if the night sky had been scattered with stars. Together, these two blues, one of the day and one of the night, capture the full span of the September sky.
Sapphire's most prized shade is a deep cornflower blue, the colour collectors and jewellers value above all. This blue is also woven into the visual language of romance itself, making it a perfect piece to gift your partner.
