The September Birthstone – Sapphire

If you are reading this, I assume you have some amount of interest, belief or at the least curiosity in gemstone astrology. Well, if you are wondering, if I do believe in gem stone astrology, I am not sure. I have not made up my mind yet, but it is true that I have witnessed some remarkable improvements in the lives of those who have used birthstones for numerous benefits. Also, it is always interesting to explore such things, even though we might not believe in them completely. Be it Sun Signs, Palmistry or Numerology, people have always shown a keen interest in knowing future and what brings good luck to them. So why gem stone astrology should remain an exception here?

What Can Sapphire Birthstone Add to your Life?

Sapphire is believed to bring about emotional and physical balance in your life. Qualities like sympathy, purity and wisdom are often associated with this stone. Sapphire is also said to bring out the qualities needed for a harmonious relationship like faithfulness, sincerity and abundance of warmth and kindness. It is also said to enhance problem solving ability by inspiring clarity of thought. The stone is also said to protect the owner from engaging in thoughts that are evil in nature. It is believed that Sapphires were used to peek into the future. This precisely is the reason it is believed to enhance the intuitive power of the possessor.

When a close friend of mine was suffering from relationship problems within her family, someone recommended the use of sapphire birthstone to her (of course after proper consultation). Although I ridiculed the idea initially, looking at the way things have dramatically improved for her after she took the advice and started to wear sapphire birthstone ring, I cannot help but wonder if the same alternative will provide me long lasting solutions (since both of us were born in September).

Would I buy a Sapphire Birthstone to welcome these benefits into my life? Under normal circumstances, I may not completely believe that a stone can bring in miraculous effects in my life, but when the proof is right in front of my eyes, I do want to give it a shot and see for myself. Plus who wouldn’t love to invest in a fine piece of jewelry? What could be more gratifying than flaunting an authentic sapphire among friends and family while reaping heaps of benefits at the same time?

Ear ye! Ear ye!

I have always likened being well turned out to preparing a perfect dessert. While your outfit could be the main cake or pudding, your accessories, especially your earrings, are the…no, not icing. Rather, they are the splashes of liqueurs or the dashes of alcohol that you use in your dessert. These touches are the ones that take your dessert from being an also-ran in the meal, to a sweet, shining finish.

Earrings are such a versatile component. You can use it to play up your attire, the way a nice cognac is used in a flambé. Or you can nod to subtle charm, the way good rum seeps into a Tiramisu pastry.

Whatever the occasion and whatever your intention, there is always a perfect pair.

Leading by the ear

Usually, very rarely does any type of earring really go out of style. You can always work any pair beautifully, if you wore it with the right clothes and panache. However, this season we are seeing a resurgence of vintage glamour. This gives us some exciting options to explore.

  • Chandelier earrings: This is not for the shy or the intrepid. We are talking about huge ornate pieces with shoulder-grazing length. These could possibly substitute the chandelier in the musical ‘Phantom of the Opera’. Big, bold and beautiful. You can pick one with white stones or colors from a subdued palette such as ice-blue, frost-pink or mint-green. Also, remember that there is a fine line between drama and melodrama. So, if you go with these strong earrings, keep the neck bare.
  • Hoops: You can’t go wrong with these classics. This season they are bigger than ever before, in a variety of interesting materials like bamboo and wood. However, you can pick the old winners in silver or gold. In fact, they needn’t even be the regular circular hoops. Get a little crazy with shapes – squares, intertwined ellipticals, rectangles…After all, geometry was meant to be fun.
  • Studs: Now, studs are usually the discreet, understated alternatives for those who don’t want to go all out with the earrings trend. However, you can be classic and contemporary with colored studs. Since they are smaller in size than regular chandeliers or hoops, you can choose vibrant colors. A bright garnet or a deep violet pair will give the necessary pop to an all-white or black ensemble.
  • Kitsch:The moulds is breaking and look what’s emerging! We now have a plethora of designs and materials for those simple things that decorate the ear lobe. Try peacock feathers with your regular white shirt and denims for a funky vibe. Or long spirals made out of stiff paper for adding an artsy dimension to your look. Then you have some tribal designs in wood and bamboo that will go well with almost any casual or semi-formal outfit.

When it comes to kitschy earrings, it truly is a wild, wild world out there.

So, there you have it. Here are some clever trends that will get your ear to catch their eyes.
