September means Sapphire and that is something to celebrate…but let’s face it Sapphire is an extremely popular gemstone at Croghan's Jewel Box all of the time! What makes it so desirable? Is it the fact that it registers 9 out of 10 on the hardness scale? Or is it because that gorgeous navy blue mesmerizes us and looks good on every finger… 

Let’s just say it could be the little black dress of the jewelry world!

Everyone is drawn to them and everyone loves them, so that alone makes Sapphires a safe bet for gift giving!

Sapphire is known as the wisdom stone! It is believed to release mental tension, erase unwanted thoughts and restore balance to the brain and body. At one time it was thought to keep royalty safe from harm's way and give them the gift of discernment. Maybe that is why we see quite a few tiaras made with beautiful sapphires…

Of course our favorite Sapphire wearing royals are Diana and Kate…

But as we all know you don't have to be a royal to don a few Sapphires. It is a beautiful stone for all to wear and enjoy on a daily basis! Enjoy perusing a few of ours!
