Sapphire: September Birthstone
The magnificent Sapphire, in all its celestial hues, is a stone of wisdom and royalty. It is forever associated with sacred things and considered the gem of gems, a jewel steeped in the history and lore of nearly every religion. To the ancient and medieval world, Sapphire of heavenly blue signified the height of celestial hope and faith, and was believed to bring protection, good fortune and spiritual insight. It was a symbol of power and strength, but also of kindness and wise judgment.

About Optix®...
Optix® is a revolutionary faceting method that causes gemstones to shimmer and sparkle from all directions.
Instead of a single reflection of light as in a regular cut, the Optix® cut creates multiple reflections which result in a superior scintillation, even colour distribution and added brilliance.
Optix® is available in many coloured gemstones, but is particularly effective in light colour stones such as Amethyst, Aquamarine, Blue and White Topaz, Citrine, Lemon Quartz, Garnet, Peridot and Green and Pink Tourmaline.
