Jewel of the Month: September’s Birthstone, Sapphire

September 5, 2016 by WendyB

Most people think of sapphire — September’s birthstone — as a blue gem, but it comes in a range of colors. Pink is one of my favorites. In fact, I used 262 one-millimeter pink sapphires in my Pink Elephant and Tipsy Writer Maneater ring.

Nevertheless, with sapphires in mind, I decided to wear blue for a dinner on the first day of September.

Shoes: Prada (2010)
Purse: Louis Vuitton (2001)

I never get tired of this dress. The first photo I have of it is from 2006. I wish I could remember where I got it. I also wish I remembered to wear my gorgeous blue sapphire studs with it. To make up for neglecting them, I’m naming these earrings my Jewel of the Month.

    As always… beautiful jewelry, beautiful girl!

    I never think of pink when I think of sapphires, but the pink ones are really gorgeous. The elephant ring is an incredible work of art. Oh, FitzRoy’s not bad either! LOL
