![]() Some of the most celebrated women in the world have been associated with sapphires. Jeweler Ileana Makri channels this energy in her ‘tiny eye’ pendant, set with a blue sapphire surrounded by grey diamonds and inspired by the ancient belief in wearing jewelry in the shape of an eye to protect against evil and envious stares. Historically, sapphires are considered protective gemstones which shield the wearer from not only physical harm, but also bad intentions. There are even sapphires which feature two or more colors in a single stone, and a rare variety which change color in different types of light. White sapphires, otherwise known as colorless sapphires, have for many years been used as an alternative for diamonds. While most people think of sapphires as blue gems, they actually come in a wide variety of colors, from yellow to purple, pinkish orange to black. If you were born in September, your birthstone is sapphire. Many jewelry and gemology associations mainly in the USA and UK have contributed to the formation of the modern list of birthstones. Have you ever wondered what is your birthstone and what that means?Īlthough the concern about one’s birthstone had been associated with religion in some parts of the world and with astrology in some others, the modern day birthstones have less to do with historical origins.
