Didn’t want to risk forgetting the September birthstone though as it’s also mine, I probably wouldn’t. And hey, how did we get to be in September already anyhow?? I always have mixed feelings. It’s nice to celebrate another birthday but I hate that summer seems “over,” even though it’s not officially done for a while yet. Boo, hiss.

On to sapphires, a cheerier topic. And this luscious orchid ring design by Mousson. It’s made with black and white gold, inlaid with diamonds, violet sapphires, sapphires, and accented with enamel. This sells for USD$3,485 USD and is available in other gold colours and stone combinations.
