My fingers are now getting numb after the twisting and bending of the 22 gauge non tarnish Antique Bronze Artistic beading wire for several hours..

Are rustling in September's breeze,
A Sapphire on her brow should bind;
To bring her joy and peace of mind."
Are rustling in September's breeze,
A Sapphire on her brow should bind;
To bring her joy and peace of mind."
The September birthstone poem reflects some of the properties with which the
Sapphire is associated - truth, sincerity and constancy. The Traditional
Metaphysical Properties for the September Birthstone Sapphire are clairvoyance,
insight and interpretation.
The word Sapphire is derived from the Greek word "sappheiros" which means
"precious stone". Sapphires are the blue transparent variety of corundum, highly
prized as a gem. The Sapphire is a member of the Corundum (aluminum oxide)
family. Crystal structure of the Sapphire, the September birthstone, is
hexagonal (trigonal), dipyramidal. One of the four precious gemstones. The other
three are diamonds, rubies, and emeralds.
The traditional color associated with the Sapphire is the deep blue color and
was strongly favored as a popular gem in jewelry. The meaning of colors through
the ages represented many aspects of life. Social, religious, biblical and
Christian symbolism were all reflected in the color blue. The symbolic meaning
of the color blue has a Biblical meaning symbolizing heavenly grace. Sapphires
can be found in a variety of colors, not just different shades of blue, these
include yellow, pink and white. Sapphires with colors other than blue are
generally referred to as fancy sapphires. The distinctive blue of the sapphire
is due to minute amounts of oxide of iron and titanium in the stone.
