September's Birthstone Is Sapphire: A Gem Worth Celebrating
Published: Sep 16, 2026
If you know someone with a September birthday, you already know their birthstone: sapphire. It is one of those gems that everyone recognizes on sight, and it makes a truly special gift or personal treasure.
Why Sapphire Is So Beloved
Sapphire has a deep blue color that is instantly recognizable, and it is also wonderfully durable, making it a great choice for everyday wear. It carries a dressy elegance that works just as beautifully for special occasions. A sapphire piece reads as thoughtful and meaningful all on its own, no explanation needed.
Our Specialty in Colored Gemstones
Colored gemstones are one of our specialties at West and Company. David has spent over 44 years working with rare and beautiful gems, bringing a level of expertise that helps you find a sapphire piece you will treasure for years to come.
We can show you what we have on hand, from sapphire jewelry already in our cases to earrings, necklaces and pendants, and rings featuring this stunning stone. If you would like something even more personal, we can also design a setting around a sapphire you choose, creating a piece made just for you.
See It in Person
Sapphire is one of those gems that photos rarely do justice. The depth of color and the way it catches light are best appreciated in person, so we invite you to stop by our showroom in downtown Auburn and see our birthstone pieces up close.
Learn more about sapphire and other gemstones on our gemstone education page, or browse our full jewelry collection to see what is currently in stock.
Visit West and Company at 10 Genesee St, Auburn, NY, or call us at (315) 253-7000. Come see our sapphire pieces and celebrate September in style.
