When you think of sapphire, chances are a deep, velvety blue comes to mind. It’s iconic, timeless, and the most coveted shade of this regal gemstone. But what makes sapphire so fascinating is its surprising rainbow of colors.
Shades of Blue: From Sky to Midnight
Not all sapphires are created equal. Their blues span a wide spectrum, from delicate powder blues reminiscent of a clear September sky, to rich navy tones as deep as the ocean. Some even show flashes of violet or green, creating depth and dimension that feels alive.
A Rainbow Gemstone
While blue may be sapphire’s signature shade, this gemstone comes in nearly every color of the rainbow…except red (that’s classified as ruby).
• Pink sapphires exude a romantic, modern energy.
• Yellow and orange sapphires glow like sunshine and fire.
• Green sapphires are subtle, earthy, and understatedly chic.
• White sapphires offer a diamond-like sparkle with their own cool brilliance.
This spectrum makes sapphire one of the most versatile gemstones, perfect for expressing individuality while holding onto the timeless allure that makes it so cherished.
Symbolism & Story
Sapphires have long symbolized wisdom, loyalty, and truth. For September-borns, wearing sapphire is a way to carry a gemstone that’s both powerful and deeply personal.
Styling Tip
Blue sapphires shine in both yellow gold and white metals, but don’t overlook colored sapphires for a bold, fashion-forward statement. A pink sapphire pendant or a yellow sapphire ring brings a fresh, modern twist to a stone steeped in history.
