Sapphires, September's Birth Stone

Did you know that September's birth stone is a Sapphire? Most of us know Sapphires as being blue, but they actually come in an array of colors: pink, yellow, purple, white, orange, and green. Significant sapphire deposits are found in Eastern Australia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, East Africa and in the United States near Montana.

The color in all gemstones can be broken down by hue, saturation, and tone. Hue refers to the color of the stone, saturation refers to the brightness of the stone, and tone refers to the lightness to darkness, with the most popular hue being blue.

Chardé has a variety of pieces with Sapphire in them hitting all price points. Whether you are looking for your classic blue, or want to venture out and try out pink (like the Barry Kronen ring to the left), we can find something for your September girl. Happy Birthday to all our September customers!

xoxo Chardé
