Shop the September Birthstone Edit
Let’s Hear it for Lapis
September is for promoting strength and courage. But lapis lazuli is also believed to bring inner peace, wisdom, and self-expression, while enhancing intuition and spiritual awareness.
This gemstone’s vivid color is caused by the presence of the mineral lazurite, speckled with gold pyrite and white calcite. It’s said to have protective properties, shielding the wearer from negative energies.
And if you're a writer, artist, or public speaker, this gem will give your communication skills a needed boost. Apparently it's a wonder for honesty and truthfulness, and reducing stress and anxiety. Goodbye, stage fright.

What are September's Other Birthstones?
While lapis lazuli is a classic September birthstone, blue sapphires, alexandrite and iolite also make the grade.
A mainstay of our solid gold collection, blue sapphire with its deep hue, signifies wisdom, intuition, and protection. It fosters spiritual growth, aligns chakras, and aids in clear communication. Believed to bring prosperity, it's a symbol of loyalty in relationships.
Alexandrite is renowned for its color-changing properties (hello, chameleon), shifting from green in natural daylight to a rich purplish-red under incandescent light. This gem symbolises change, creativity, and joy, making it a meaningful choice for a birthstone.
Iolite, often referred to as the ‘water sapphire’, showcases a stunning indigo hue reminiscent of a clear evening sky. This gemstone's name is derived from the Greek word "ios," meaning violet. Iolite is believed to inspire spiritual growth, enhance intuition, and spark creativity. Consider us enchanted.
