AUGUST! That's right. August has the love it or hate it Gemstone. The
Peridot (or as most people would say it wrong "
pair-i-dots"), has an interesting hue of
lime-green. YUM! Personally, I don't mind Peridot. (pronounced, "
Pair-e-doe", the 'T' is silent) I've seen some beautiful stones that have great sparkle and life and I've seen some real boring duds too. You just never know what you're gonna get with Peridot. But look around and you'll see the differences!
September Birthstone
SEPTEMBER has the wonderful and exciting
Sapphire stone. Being one of the
most popular Gemstones in the World, Sapphires are a great choice for any occasion. With lovely deep, intense, blue tones, Sapphires will truly wow you over. Just stay away from the Sapphires that are too dark blue. So dark in fact that they almost look black. Those are low grade and ugly and don't do Sapphires any justice.
Sapphires are one of the few Gemstones that are popular in all different shades of the rainbow. You can find them in lovely shades of yellow, green, even orange. There is a lot of Multi-Colored Jewelry out there that's been a big hit lately. Great custom pieces with absolutely breath-taking Sapphires like the Multi-Colored Sapphire Bracelet shown below.
Here's some interesting Trivia for you: Sapphires come in every color of the rainbow but one. That one is Red! You will never see a Red Sapphire, because when a Sapphire is Red, they don't call it a Sapphire anymore, they call it a RUBY! Fascinating eh? (Read: Why Sapphires are the Best Gemstone to wear!)
