Shake it up this September while wearing Moritz Glik’s 18-karat yellow gold “Ten Fourteen” ring featuring blue sapphires and diamonds. Sapphire is the official birthstone for the month of September, and is also the gemstone for 5th and 45th anniversaries.
PSA—September has arrived. 

Like most Americans, you’re probably wondering, how is it already September? 

The lazy days of summer are over and with the new month’s arrival comes a sense of renewed purpose, energy and focus. It is also a time to celebrate September babies. 

Sapphire couldn’t be fit better as the official birthstone for the month of September. 

Blue sapphire is a serious gemstone that matches September’s energy. It is hard yet has an undeniable beauty and unmistakable, luxurious appeal. 

Meanwhile, “fancy” colors of sapphire bring whimsy and enable sapphire to be one of the most colorful gemstone varieties. 

This Amanda’s Style File is bringing the cool factor to jewelry featuring the September birthstone.
