September Birthstone...The Sapphire

Along with being one of the most coveted gemstones in history, the sapphire is the captivating birthstone of September. Commonly associated with royalty, the gem has been adorned by the kings and queens of ancient Greece to Queen Elizabeth herself. This "gem of heaven" can be found in biblical history as well. In the prophet Ezekiel's visions, he sees Jesus Christ sitting upon a throne of sapphire. Ancient Persians also associated the stone with the heavens, believing that the entire Earth rested on a giant sapphire, painting the sky a brilliant blue on a clear day.

You may be wondering how such a stone fit for the heavens and royalty could possibly be part of your everyday look. Luckily, we've got you covered. With a ranking of 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, sapphires are more than suitable for everyday wear, physically and aesthetically!

September studs are designer Nina Wynn's specialty. Her threadless earring design makes layering piercings easier than ever, ditching the backs entirely! Which means room for sapphires all the way up the ear. These sapphire studs are sure to be on every birthday wish list this month!
