September birthstone gifts - Sapphire

The birthstone for September is sapphire. The deep blue stone is reminiscent of Royalty. And if natural sapphire isn't quite within budget, beautiful blue zirconia or Swarovski Crystal makes the perfect gift or treat to yourself.

September birthstone gifts are a popular choice for those who celebrate a birthday in the ninth month of the year.

September birthdays bring the beautiful mid to deep blue tone of sapphire. In the past September also had chrysolite as a birthstone, but today this month is firmly linked to the Sapphire birthstone.

What is the birthstone for September?

Sapphire is the most popular birthstone for September. Unlike other months which have up to three birthstone possibilities, sapphire is well known as the major September birthstone.

Although many people love sapphire in its pure, rich blue colour, did you know sapphires can also be also pink, yellow and green? In the Middle Ages the gem was believed to protect loved ones from harm and represent loyalty and trust.

Here are two more fun facts about this stone. Sapphire also commemorates the 5th and 45th wedding anniversary and is worn by the Duchess of Cambridge in a ring passed down by Princess Diana.

This makes sapphire or sapphire-inspired jewellery the perfect gift for a September birthday. It is also a very current trend thanks to the Royal Family!

Swarovski crystal gifts

One of our prettiest and most affordable birthstone inspired gifts is a piece from the Beginnings birthstone range. The designs in this range are solid 925 Sterling Silver with birthstone inspired Swarovski crystal. Choose either a pendant with disc or a set of stud earrings for women - or both.

You can even have the disc pendant hand stamped with an initial, or we can arrange engraving with a special message that means something to you both. This makes the gift just that bit more personal, memorable and wearable.

Or if this design isn't quite right, browse more ideas for a silver necklace for women.

We also love the Swarovski Remix charm for September. It looks fantastic on a Remix charm carrier either on its own as the focal point, or mixed with other charms around the bracelet for a fully personalised look.

Remix by Swarovski is a unique concept using magnetic clasps to give endless options for combining strands. You can wear Swarovski Remix as a charm bracelets for women, a necklace for women, a choker and even belts and headbands! And with Swarovski Remix pieces, the more you buy, the more you save.

Another fantastic idea for a birthday gift is a zodiac design. Birthdays from 1st to 22nd September fall under the Virgo zodiac sign. Those born from 23rd to 31st October are born under the Libra zodiac sign.

A zodiac pendant representing their birth date is also a great birthday gift idea. We love the dainty zodiac pendants that you can add to the Beginnings silver disc pendant or bracelet. It's a cute little personalised jewellery touch that represents their zodiac.

The zodiac pendant collection from Unique & Co is also a beautiful gift. The range is available in sterling silver, and also with yellow or rose gold plating. Zirconia marks out the star sign on each riven pendant.
