The blue sapphire gemstone, September's birthstone, promotes purity and wisdom, inner vision and clarity for the wearer. The Zodiac sign is a maiden, associated with chastity yes, but also with fertility. The month of September is bountiful harvest time, and Virgo being an earth sign is all about fecundity and plenty. Wear your sapphire gemstone, set in a broad wheat sheaf mount, to attract the abundance you deserve and to bring you creativity, wisdom and clarity. The sapphire is a faceted, deep blue stone in a wheat sheaf surround, with four tiny cz’s around it and a rope edge. The fleur de lis above it, holding the chain, is an ancient symbol of purity and of the Virgin Mary, the quintessential symbol both of maidenhood and fecundity. To clean, wash gently in warm soapy water, rinse and pat dry. Care should be taken not to drop or knock the piece of jewellery as a stone may be damaged or fall out. Eventually, all gold vermeil will wear off and the more often it is worn the more quickly this will happen. However as this is one full micron of 18k gold vermeil, and the only place the gold touches the skin is at the back of the pendant, this should last a long time.
