September Sapphires

Her Royal Majesty. . . the September birthstone. The rich, blue hued sapphire is a gemstone loved by all for its symbolism of sincerity, truth, faithfulness and nobility. Perhaps the best-known sapphire is the 12 ct blue gem surrounded by diamonds in the sapphire engagement ring first worn by Princess Diana and then given by her son to Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge.
