Mens left hand Blue Sapphire Brilliant-cut round gem stone, bezel set in an exquisite polished platinum setting. September Birthstone: Sapphire Birthstone Properties: Brings physical and emotional balance. Taken from the Greek word for blue, "sapphirus", sapphires have a time-honored tradition with priests (who considered them symbolic of purity) and king s (who considered them symbolic of wisdom.) Husbands and wives in ancient times frequently exchanged gifts of sapphires. Although the fact that sapphires represent sincerity and faithfulness was undoubtedly the primary reason it was a popular marriage gift, another motive may have been at work: it was believed that a sapphire would not shine if worn by someone who was wicked or impure. Clear sapphires, like diamonds, are the guardians of love. When exchanged with a loved one, sapphires enhance feelings for one another and attunes the two psyches. Sapphires have the power to banish envy and jealousy, and are said to promote chastity in virgins and fidelity in marriage. Sapphires were considered to be so powerful they continued to protect the original owner even after being sold. Sapphire is also the Zodiac stone for the constellation of Taurus the Bull.
