Sapphire: Unveiling the Elegance and Meaning of September’s Birthstone at Arezzo Jewelers in Elmwood Park
Beauty, Symbolism & Heritage
Sapphire, a revered variety of corundum, epitomizes elegance with its striking blue hues—though it also appears in yellow, pink, green, and multicolored "parti sapphires. As one of the world’s hardest gemstones, rated 9 on the Mohs scale, it symbolizes endurance, purity, and resilience.
Historically, sapphire has been linked to nobility and spiritual power. In ancient Greece, it was associated with Zeus and Apollo, while oracles wore sapphire to enhance prophetic vision. Medieval Europeans believed sapphires cured eye diseases, protected from poison, and embodied heavenly virtues. Notably, folklore suggests the Earth rested upon a giant sapphire, painting the sky with its blue radiance.
Modern metaphysical beliefs celebrate sapphire’s calming, centering energy, promoting emotional balance, mental clarity, and spiritual insight—linked with the third eye chakra.

A Legacy of Royalty and Meaning
Sapphires have long captivated the hearts of kings, queens, and collectors. Their deep celestial blues—ranging from velvety royal hues to crisp cornflower tones—were believed to connect the wearer to divine guidance and protection. Ancient Greeks wore sapphires to attract favor from the gods, while medieval clergy believed the stone symbolized Heaven itself. Today, sapphire remains a token of sincerity, wisdom, and inner peace—making it the perfect gift for a loved one or a luxurious personal talisman.
