Sapphires sparkle this September

Sapphires sparkle this September

We might be paraphrasing Earth, Wind, and Fire here, but we definitely remember the beautiful birthstone of September! Although it’s true that the song isn’t about sapphires, Dickinson Jewelers is ALL about the stunning gem. 


Sapphires are one of the most recognizable gemstones in the world, according to the GIA. They’ve been connected to royalty for thousands of years, which might explain why Princess Diana’s famous engagement ring features a sapphire rather than a more traditional diamond. Across the years, sapphires have symbolized truth, faithfulness, loyalty, and have guarded against envy. 


Sapphires come in every color except ruby red, but blue is probably the most famous variety. It’s easy to see why: the color is jaw-dropping. These gemstones can be found in many locations around the world, including southeast Asia, Australia, and Montana. 


We don’t have a sapphire mine in Calvert County, but Dickinson Jewelers is a great source for beautiful sapphire jewelry. 



We absolutely love these white gold sapphire huggie earrings. Huggies are hoops that fit close to the earlobe — they’re super trendy right now, and it’s easy to see why. The sapphires on these huggies are absolutely beautiful! 




If you’re a fan of antique and estate jewelry, check out this platinum sapphire and diamond pendant. This necklace is one of our favorites! 




Show off your love for Southern Maryland and sapphires with this beautiful necklace! Our owner, Claude Dickinson, handmade the cast for this sweet little crab with every detail of a real crab. It really comes to life! The Sweet Sookie grabbed a little sapphire while swimming around to add a little extra sparkle to this pendant.



Our Little Luxuries boutique has some stunning options for birthstone jewelry as well. We carry several bracelets that feature beautiful sapphires. This stretch bracelet is an affordable way to start a birthstone bracelet stack, making it the perfect gift for the September birthday girls in your life. 


When it comes to cleaning sapphires, you’re in luck: this is a pretty easy stone to make sparkle. Most sapphires can be cleaned with ultrasonic or steam cleaners, and all can be touched up with a damp cloth. Not sure where to start? We offer repair packages to make your jewelry look as good as new. 


If you’re shopping for a sapphire, Dickinson Jewelers’ jewelry stylists in Dunkirk and Prince Frederick can help you find the perfect stone. September’s birthstone is stunning, so drop by today to shop our beautiful selection.
