Information about the gems found in this ring:
Sapphire is the birthstone for the month of September. It is a precious gemstone and is part of the mineral corundum. Sapphire is known for its incredible lustre and stunning blue colour. The term sapphire can also be used to define any other coloured corundum as long as the colour is also noted, the one exception is for the red corundum, which goes by its own name, ruby.
Pearl, along with alexandrite is the birthstone for June. Pearl gemstones come in a range of colours and sizes. They are formed by living organisms within the soft tissue layer of molluscs – pearls are the only gemstone to come from a living creature! The colours of pearls are caused by the inside colour of the shell it is formed in.
