You’re the thoughtful gift-giver of your friend group or your family — the one who always brings the unexpected or puts more time into picking something out. One way to personalize the gift-giving process is to find something that connects in a meaningful way with your recipient. Birthstone jewelry — whether for your mom, your spouse, your sibling, BFF, or your niece — can keep you at the top of your gift-giving game. And if you’re looking for the birthstone for September, well, you’ve come to the right place.

What Is The Birthstone For September?

September's birthstone, sapphire, is a gemstone known for its exquisite beauty and rich history. The birthstone color for the month of September is primarily a deep blue tone, but you’ll also find sapphires in a shade of shimmering shades, including pink, green, yellow, orange and even purple.

In addition to its beautiful tones, sapphires are exceptionally hard gemstones. In fact, when you stack them against all the other birthstones, they’re some of the hardest, scoring a 9 on the Mohs scale. This durability makes them a great option for everyday wear, whether you’re incorporating sapphires into an engagement ring, wedding band, a casual necklace or stud earrings.

September Birthstone Meaning

Ancient Persians believed that Earth rests on a giant sapphire, reflecting its radiance into the blue sky. Ancient Greeks wore the gemstones as amulets on their armor during battles, and royalty wore them in the Middle Ages. Today, you can spot sapphire jewelry worn by the British monarchy and celebs.

As far as meaning goes, blue sapphire symbolism provides protection and good fortune and represents love, commitment, and spiritual growth.
