Atelier Wengi x Sapphire - September's Birthstone

Sapphire, the iconic September birthstone, represents wisdom, loyalty, sincerity, and nobility. A variety of corundum, it is celebrated for its deep, celestial blue — though it also appears in a rainbow of other hues known as “fancy” sapphires.

Fine sapphires are primarily sourced from historic mines in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Madagascar, each region producing stones with its own distinctive character and energy.

Beyond their beauty, these exceptional stones hold collectible value. Over the past 10 years, the market for untreated, high-quality Royal Blue and Kashmir sapphires has shown a steady upward trajectory, with average annual price appreciation of 9% to 16%.

From Queen Victoria’s cherished sapphire brooch to the iconic 12-carat Ceylon sapphire engagement ring worn by Princess Diana and now the Princess of Wales, it remains the ultimate symbol of noble romance, enduring elegance, and a truly brilliant investment.
