Sapphire is September’s traditional birthstone, long associated with truth, wisdom, loyalty and nobility. Although best known for deep royal blue, natural Sapphires can occur in almost every colour except red.
Blue Lace Agate is our preferred affordable September birthstone alternative. Its pale blue bands create patterns reminiscent of clouds, ripples and delicate lace, giving it a softer and more understated character than Sapphire. Traditionally associated with calm communication and honest self-expression, it makes a thoughtful gift for teachers, writers, speakers or anybody learning to use their voice with confidence.
