Birthstone for September
Sapphire is the gemstone available in the largest range of colours, all the colours of the rainbow!
Sapphire comes in Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Purple, Blue, Green, black and white. True blood red colour is classified as Ruby.
Sri Lanka is most famous for the Ceylon Blue Sapphire found there but also has the beautiful Peachy Pink called Padparadscha, meaning Lotus in Sinhalese. I was lucky to hand pick lots of special Sapphires during my time living there.
All these stones are available for custom orders. Prices are included in standard designs unless marked.
