Sapphire is also the birthstone for September and the celebratory gemstone for the 45th wedding anniversary.
This sapphire may look dark at first glance, but it is a deep navy blue color that has a firmness that makes you stand up straight.
It is also recommended to have it tailored as a talisman jewelry for starting a new life.

Sapphires are made from the same mineral corundum as rubies, and are the same except for the important element of color; any corundum other than red is called sapphire.
Corundum, a crystalline aluminum oxide, is mined primarily from placer deposits and, more rarely, from bedrock deposits just below the earth's surface.
It is also an "arochromatic" gemstone, meaning its color is determined by trace elements such as iron and titanium.
