Planning a Proposal in September? Here are Some Creative Engagement Ring Ideas

Hey everyone! Jimmy here, the proud owner of StarlandUS Boutique.

Today, I’ve got a special treat for you – a September gift guide. If you’re planning to pop the question this month or just want to give a meaningful present, incorporating September’s birthstone is a brilliant move.

What is September’s Birthstone?

The modern birthstone for September is the sapphire, a stunning blue corundum. The name "sapphire" comes from the Greek word sappheiros and has long been associated with royalty and romance. It’s one of the most popular colored gemstones, boasting a rich history, vibrant color, and fascinating symbolism.

Fun fact: sapphires are also linked to several zodiac signs. Early Spanish records connect them to Gemini and Taurus.

 History of the September Birthstone

Sapphires have a storied past that dates back to ancient civilizations. For centuries, they adorned the robes of royalty and clergy. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed that blue sapphires protected their owners from harm and envy. In the Middle Ages, clergy wore sapphires as symbols of heaven. The Persians even thought the earth was supported by a giant sapphire, causing the blue sky’s hue.

For modern folks, the most famous sapphire is likely Princess Diana’s engagement ring. In the 1980s, Diana’s choice of a bold sapphire ring over a traditional diamond sparked a cultural phenomenon.

 Meaning of the September Birthstone

Over the centuries, sapphires have been seen as symbols of sincerity, truth, loyalty, and nobility. They’re also thought to have healing properties; medieval Europeans believed sapphires cured plague sores and eye diseases, functioning as a sort of antidote.

Renowned gemologist George F. Kunz once said of sapphires, “The sapphire was like the pure sky, and mighty Nature had endowed it with such great power that it might be called sacred and the gem of gems.”
