Multicolored Sapphire Earrings

Sometimes I think it is very lucky that we only have one birthday a year – and not only when I look in the mirror at the corners of my eyes! I also think its lucky that everyone else in the world only has one birthday a year, because I’d fast run out of ideas for unique and cherished birthday gifts! However, jewelry is an old standby, and one of those items that you can never have too much of. Unlike toasters, purses, and bath salts (but incidentally, quite like shoes!). If you are hunting for something that will knock someone’s socks off this September, a great place to start is with the birthstone for the month – the sapphire. It is available in a rainbow of different colors, and comes in forms to suit all budgets. Check out our suggestions for sapphire birthday gifts for September below!

Sapphires are actually chemically nearly identical to rubies, and they have the same quality and luxurious character. In fact, all color variants of the mineral corundum (the geological name for sapphires) are known as sapphire except for those that are full red, and some that are a pinkish-orange color and known as the padparadscha. For September birthdays, it is acceptable to give any color variant of sapphires … as long as they are still called sapphires! You can see the array of colors of these stones in the gorgeous multicolored earrings up the top. These have a combined gemstone weight of 1.38 carats, and are actually priced very reasonably for their uniqueness and luxury! If you know a lucky lady that loves the rainbow effect of multicolored sapphires, there is another option below, in the gold basket-shaped multicolored sapphire earrings. In this piece the sapphires are combined with 8 brilliant cut diamonds, with a diamond weight of 9 points, and set on 18carat gold … delicious!

If the deep royal blue of the traditional sapphire color is more suited to your friend or loved one, then the sapphire and diamond pendant below these earrings is a lovely classical shape and quite a budget friendly piece. There are three princess cut sapphires along with three brilliant cut white diamonds, which creates a lovely alternation of refraction – no matter which way she turns, something will be sparkling! Along with her eyes, voice and personality of course You can choose whichever chain you like to go with this lovely classical pendant, as it is sold as a stand alone item.

There is absolutely no reason for sapphires to be a budget buster – the wonderfully rich-colored sapphire pendant, with a stone set on petalled yellow gold, is one of the most cost-effective items in the sapphire range and also one of the most beautiful. It is set with a brilliant cut white diamond (you see, diamonds are a sapphire’s best friend as well as a girl’s best friend!), and as it is also sold as a stand alone item, you can choose the chain you’d like to go with it. This item also features free shipping across Australia – along with anything else that you order at the same time. So stock up and you can save!

Perhaps the next most frequently found color of sapphire is the pink sapphire. Other pink stones can register quite low on the Mohs hardness scale, like topazes and tourmalines, but sapphire registers 9.0 on the Mohs hardness scale – only a step down from diamonds. So pink sapphires are as close to forever as you can get in a pink stone … expect in the rare and very pricey pink diamond! The pink sapphire earrings dangling from roses above are part of the new Pandora range of complementary jewelry, from a brand best known for their charm bracelets. These beautiful earrings will look lovely on any sweet, classically cute girl (or woman!), with their large luxurious stone and old-fashioned feel.

The ring below these earrings is another part of the Pandora range of jewelry, where you will find plenty of pink sapphire products. The distinctive beaded ring has a matching set of pink sapphire and pink pearl earrings, as well as a matching charm for those who have been hooked by the Pandora bracelet lure! The ring is made from 14ct yellow gold, and has a very unique beaded band pattern, for the individual lady!
