Sapphire is the birthstone for September and is said to enhance truth, serenity and loyalty in the wearer. It has become extremely popular in recent years since Kate Middleton started wearing Princess Diana's famous sapphire and diamaond engagement ring.

Sapphire, like Ruby, is a type of corundum and occurs in lots of colours, the most popular colours being blue and pink. Wearing sapphire jewellery is supposed to bring harmony and improve insight.
