While September's birthstone can take on any color other than red, sapphires are most recognizable in their trademark shades of blue.
Famous sapphires range from the Heart of the Ocean necklace featured in The Titanic to Princess Diana’s (and now Princess Kate’s) oval sapphire engagement ring.
The originals may be unattainable, but we found some beautiful sapphire jewelry you can call your own.
The Sapphire Key to Your Heart
From a specific replica of the real Heart of the Ocean to bright blue beauties for your ears and fingers, September's birthstone shines in the shape of a heart.
