September birthstone sapphire

The beautiful blue sapphire, a favourite of royalty for centuries, combined with a touch of romance. The most famous sapphire is perhaps the engagement ring that Prince Charles gave to Lady Diana when he proposed to her. This blue sapphire did not bring her much luck, but this well-known engagement ring got a second chance with Kate Middleton.

Sapphire comes in all colours of the rainbow, except red — because then it is a ruby. The different colours of sapphire are also called Fancy sapphires. Did you know that sapphire even comes in grey and black?
