Exotic Sapphire Ring

If you’re lucky, you have a wife that does a lot for you … gives you foot rubs when you’ve had a long day, brings you the occasional breakfast in bed, asks if you’d like a coffee when she’s making one, washes and polishes your car on the weekend instead of going out with her friends … ;-) But even if she doesn’t quite match all of these criteria, we know that she’s still pretty special! That’s why you are spending the time looking for the perfect gift for her this September, and why we have put together our suggestions for gorgeous jewelry birthday gifts, tailored just to her perfect self :-)

A lovely personal way to choose a birthday gift for your wife is using her birthstone … this at least narrows the search down, so that you aren’t blindly stabbing in the dark! For September this is the sapphire, a lovely and very flexible gemstone that comes in many more colors that the deep lush blue that you are used to. You have a couple of options for finding sapphire jewelry for your wife’s birthday; you can either use the gift ideas for wives section, clicking on the gemstone tab and checking the box for sapphire to refine your results to sapphires, or look through our entire range of sapphire jewelry, which will get you more results … but also gives you more to choices to be swamped by!

You will see by the exotic sapphire ring at the beginning of the article that sapphires come in a wide variety of colors. In fact, rubies are chemically identical to sapphires, it is only the presence of impurities such as iron and chromium that determines whether a sapphire will be colored blue, pink, green, orange or yellow … or be colored red, and spend its life as a ruby! The ring at the start of the article features all natural sapphires, in red, yellow and gold, with a centrepiece rare orange sapphire. The band is made of white gold, for a soft, warm feel … sort of like snuggling in bed on a Saturday morning :-) Order ahead for these, as some finger sizes need to be manufactured - but know that because of this, your wife is just about guaranteed to be the only one in the city with a ring like this!

Just below this you’ll see one of the main variants of the blue sapphire - pink sapphires are some of the more commonly found natural stones, and there is a great range of pink sapphire jewelry. This ring features four of the stones, with a combined gemstone weight of .85 carats, set on a yellow gold band. You also have the option of engraving a message inside the band of this gorgeous ring, so if you have something special you’d like to remind your wife of (don’t forget to pick up some Coors on the way home love!), this is a great opportunity to do so.

Underneath the ring you’ll see a lovely example of yellow sapphires, incorporated into a filigree pendant with diamonds. Fifteen yellow sapphires along with three white diamonds are set on white gold, and made with a flower and heart design … for the sweet, girlish and very cute wives out there! You have the freedom to pick whichever chain will suit her best with this pendant, as it is a stand-alone item.

However, if sapphires aren’t her thing, or you are looking for a birthday gift that is a little more budget friendly, checking out her starsign is often a great way to help determine what jewelry will best suit her. If she is born from the 1st to the 22nd of September, she will be a modest, discreet, precise and methodical Virgo. Those born on or after the 23rd are Librans, who are traditionally very balanced, as well as charming and graceful.

For Librans, the Michael Kors rose gold ladies’ watch pictured is a lovely option - with a design that incorporates both freedom, movement and balance, and a distinctive and charming rose gold band, it is perfectly suited to the Libran personality. It features quartz movement for accuracy, and a stainless steel bezel and crown for durability and flexibility. It comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty, and is also available on layby … how can you go wrong?!

You’ll see one of nature’s finest examples of symmetry and balance, as well as grace, charm and beauty underneath the Michael Kors watch, in the butterfly pendant with iridescent purple-black inlays. The pendant is double-sided, with pale versions of the inlay colors on the other side. It can be worn different ways to suit different clothes, and is a bargain price. The colored wings are set in sterling silver for a lovely soft, warm feel; there are actually several different variants of butterfly wing shapes and colors available in the gift ideas for wives section, and one of them is pictured at the bottom of the images.

For delicate and discreet Virgos, pendants are an excellent option, as they can be hidden beneath clothes when necessary, or just to keep your gorgeous gift all to themselves! The filigree heart pendant pictured has a delicate, precise shaping that will appeal to the equally precise Virgo girl. It is made of lovely soft sterling silver, and as it is a stand alone item you can choose whichever chain you think will suit her best.

Lockets are another great choice for modest Virgos - they allow them to ‘lock’ away their treasures and feelings, where they know that they are there, but nobody else can see them. The ocean shell locket pictured is a unique option, very different to the standard round, engraved lockets. It is made from 9ct yellow gold - you only have to make sure there is enough room in it to fit a picture of your smiling face!

If you are looking for earrings for a precise and discreet Virgo, the huggie shape of the tanzanite ones pictured is the epitome of discretion, and also convenience. The shape gives her ears a dainty, shell-like appearance, and also means that they need not be taken off, even for bed, if she is not the sort. The light purple tanzanites are channel set on yellow gold - there is a total of ten stones with a combined weight of .7 carats.

If you haven’t seen something here that you know your wife will go crazy for ;-) , just keep browsing in the gift ideas for wives section, or click one of the sapphire products to be taken to the sapphire jewelry section.
