| To those born in the transition month of September, Sapphire relaxes and clears the mind. It also protects its owner from fraud, envy and ill health.
Oriental tradition described the Sapphire as a guiding gem, one that warded off evil omens and brought good fortune to its owner. The ancient Egyptians said that wearing a Sapphire would make the stars move into a favorable position. Sapphire became even more of a symbol of wisdom and clear thinking.
Sapphires were also believed to be able to stop bleeding and cure disorders of the eye. Sapphires have the power to banish envy and jealousy, and are said to promote chastity in virgins and fidelity in marriage.
Sapphire is designated for the 5th, 23rd and 45th wedding anniversary; a Star Sapphire is typically given on the 65th wedding anniversary.
