About sapphire, the September birthstone

Sapphire is the birthstone for September on the UK birthstone list, with lapis lazuli as the traditional alternative. Deep blue is the best-known colour, but sapphires come in almost every shade except red, because a red sapphire is a ruby. It's one of the hardest gemstones, which makes it ideal for everyday wear.

What does sapphire mean?

Sapphire has long been linked with wisdom, loyalty and truth, and was worn by royalty as a sign of protection. Today it's a popular choice for engagement rings and a meaningful gift for someone you trust.

Choosing September birthstone jewellery

Choose from sapphire-blue necklaces, bracelets, studs and gift sets in our own Argento range, Pandora eternity rings and charms, Karma bangles and Nomination charms. Add the September aster with our birth flower jewellery, or choose a September piece from our Claddagh jewellery.

Caring for your September jewellery

Take your jewellery off before swimming, bathing or applying perfume and lotion. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store each piece separately so stones and silver stay scratch-free.
