Stylish Sapphire Jewels for September
The latest Amanda’s Style File column rounds up the best birthstone jewelry this month.
Loquet London 14-karat yellow gold locket with pink, yellow, and orange sapphires and diamonds
Rich, royal, fancy, durable, colorful. These are some of the adjectives used to describe sapphires.
Sapphires are a corundum that have been one of the most popular and coveted gemstones because of these remarkable attributes.
The birthstone for September, blue sapphire is the most widely recognized color of sapphire that designers turn to to create breathtakingly beautiful pieces of jewelry that can be worn day-in and day-out.
The other colors of sapphires refuse to be left behind, however. The stone’s wide color variety ranges from bright yellow to Barbie pink and lovely lilac to the precious peach of Padparadscha.
