Is there a September birthday girl in your life? Lucky you! (Lucky her!)  Sapphire's her birthstone, and a gift of sapphire jewelry is sure to put a smile on her face, and rock star status in your pocket!               . Sapphire is the September birthstone and a favorite among all lovers of gemstones.   The sapphire has a rich and noble history, a favorite of royalty for centuries. The 104 carat Stuart Sapphire – among the oldest blue sapphires in the world and a part of Britain’s crown jewels collection since 1214 has been passed down to many kings to wind up as a prominent gemstone in Queen Victoria's State Crown. Russian Emperor Alexander II purchased a 260 carat sapphire for his wife, the Empress Maria Alexandrovna (not a September birthday girl herself, but sapphires look good on all birthday girls).       Sapphire engagement rings are the epitome of chic elegance - Elizabeth Taylor, Jean Harlowe and each had a to-die-for sapphire engagement ring. Still, the most iconic, of course, is the 18 carat sapphire engagement ring with 14 diamonds given to Princess Diana by Prince Charles in 1981, now worn by Princess Catherine.   Sapphire jewelry is always a welcome gift for the September birthday girl. Its powers are said to bring spiritual enlightenment, inner peace and healing qualities. In addition to September birthdays, sapphire is the gem traditionally gifted for a fifth, 23^rd, 45^th and 65^th wedding anniversary.   Sapphires actually come in an array of colors, but it’s the deep blue stone that is most recognized and treasured. Timeless, elegant, and a gift she'll treasure forever.  Say happy birthday with something sapphire.   ###
