History Around the September Birthstone,Sapphire

Sapphires were worn by kings and queens whose origins can be traced all the way back to Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.

The beautiful September birthstone has never had to try too hard for the limelight. The magnificent blue gem was included in the initial list of Hebrew birthstones and has remained popular through the ages.

Sapphires have long been closely linked with the heavenly blues. A sapphire gemstone was known to the ancient Persians as 'lazvard,' which translates to sky color. They thought the world was leaning on a massive sapphire, which explained the sky's blue tint. They also connected the sapphire birthstone to the Greek culture, noting that it was Apollo's or the Oracle of Delphi's favorite stones.

Regarded as the most valuable stones because of their regal significance, Sapphires were expressively known as the 'Celestial stone' in Ancient Persia. Also, the stone was considered to have supreme spiritual powers that could shield its wearers from evil.
