Sapphires have been cherished since ancient times for their gorgeous array of hues, in particular their precious blue shade, and supposed protective and healing properties. A favourite alternative (or addition) to diamonds in engagement rings thanks to the tastes of royals such as the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Eugenie, as September’s birthstone, sapphires are believed to represent fidelity and romance.
The good news for anyone buying for a September birthday girl is that, thanks to the huge span of colours sapphires come in, they’re also available at an equally expansive range of price points. From wallet-friendly demi-fine jewels to bank-busting high jewellery pieces, here’s our guide to the best sapphire birthstone jewellery for September.
Auree Jewellery Hampton earrings
Not all birthday gifts call for high jewellery so, if you’re looking for something gorgeous that they’ll feel comfortable wearing every day, make Auree your first port of call. The brand’s Hampton earrings feature natural rough sapphires suspended from gold vermeil huggies in an interchangeable design which means the gemstone can be swapped out for emeralds, rubies or citrines as the fancy takes them.
Diane Kordas Rainbow choker
Don’t be fooled by its youthful appearance, this is not your teenage daughter’s choker. Crafted from 18 carat rose gold, this gorgeously colourful piece features a rainbow of sapphires totalling 4.36 carats, which rest elegantly on the clavicle, instantly lifting everything from white shirts to floor-length gowns.
Charms Company Initials necklace
Combining both their initial and birthstone, there are few more personal gifts than Charms Company’s alphabet necklaces. An ideal layering piece, the full alphabet is available, with each rendered in 14 karat gold and featuring an edging of multi-coloured sapphires.
Emily P. Wheeler Fringe earrings
If she prefers her jewellery to make a statement you’ll be hard-pressed to find something more suitable than Emily P. Wheeler’s Fringe earrings. The eponymous designer created her Fringe collection to focus on the tactile nature of jewellery. These rose gold and pink sapphire earrings are sure to be glamorous show-stealers.
Sylva & Cie sapphire bracelet
A beautiful twist on a tennis bracelet, Sylva & Cie’s sapphire bracelet is a showstopper that’s understated enough to wear everyday. Handcrafted with a yellow gold band studded with dozens of deep blue sapphires, the bracelet has all the makings of a timeless future heirloom.
Shaun Leane Interlocking Duo ring
Why settle for one when you can have two? Shaun Leane’s interlocking ring set is crafted in white gold and studded with rows of pink sapphires and white diamonds in a precisely pointed design. Endlessly versatile, wear separately or stacked together for a bold statement.
Annoushka Nectar bracelet
Intricate yet understated, this beautiful bracelet by Annoushka Ducas features delicate droplets of white sapphire hand set in 18ct yellow gold. Inspired by the beauty of the repetitions found in nature, it looks great worn on its own or stacked with other yellow gold pieces.
Bucherer Pastello ring
Showcasing sapphires in all their multi-coloured glory, this eternity-style ring comes from Bucherer’s Pastello range, with each stone carefully selected for its feminine pastel hue. Set in 18-carat rose gold and featuring 34 sapphires, the design is also available in single or triple bands, making it the ideal piece for those who like to mix and match their jewellery.
