Renowned for its striking azure, September’s birthstone of Sapphire sparkles brightly.
The symbol for heaven, celestial blue attracts wise judgement and sacred blessings, representing innocence, loyalty, good health and the revered – it is “sacré blue!” as the au courant French would admonish.
The hue for peace of mind, serenity and prosperity, the dazzling cerulean of Sapphire is the cast of divinity and royalty, inspiring luck, loyalty, happiness and love for flowing, peaceful energy.
Highly valued across centuries, sapphires have dominated human culture.
The Greeks cherished sapphires when seeking answers from the oracle while inscribing sapphires with the head of Zeus, as the god of the heavens claiming his pinnacle of power. Tibetan Buddhists and Hindus sought the gemstone for spiritual enlightenment to facilitate their devotion to prayer and meditation.
Hebrew kings cherished sapphire’s powers of protection in their ecclesiastical rings – King Solomon’s seal was an inscribed sapphire as a testament to his power over the spirits in the sky, earth and underworld. The colour for the virgin Madonna, Helen of Troy was also reputed to own a large star sapphire – which may have added to her enormous charm. Persian kings wore sapphires as protection from malice and bad health while sailors believed sapphires offered protection for a safe and prosperous passage.
Reflecting both the sea and the sky, embrace open spaces, freedom and intuition with the vitality of health and hope.
As the reflective hue for deep waters, the intense ultramarine is versatile and flattering on every skin tone and hair colour. Sapphire is brilliant – and knows it.
Ringed with the azure world, [s]he stands
– Alfred Lord Tennyson

Clutch your pearls
Synonymous to icons and royalty, they are opulent and eclectic – but always luxurious with a unique charm. From as long ago as 2300 BC, pearls were presented as royal gifts and seen as the ultimate status symbol. In 1BC, Julius Caesar passed a law limiting pearls only to the ruling class.
With an abundance of pearls readily available from the Persian Gulf, Arabs believed pearls were the tears of Gods while the ancient Greeks believed they were the tears of Aphrodite. The Pearly Gates refer to heaven’s gates with Hindi god Krishna bestowing pearls to his wife for their wedding. In Ancient China, pearls were a symbol of purity, while knights during the Crusades wore them into battle as amulets of protection.
The passion for pearls launched Spanish armadas to the Mexican gulf and the British to Australia. They are nature’s greatest miracles: starting out as an irritant – such as a particle of shell or parasite – to the oyster, the pearl’s formation comes from the oyster secreting nacre to build up and form the famous moon white gemstone. With cultured pearls, freshwater pearls, lucite and glass coming onboard as modern additions to pearl fashion across the last century, pearls always retain their relevance.
