There is a birthstone for every month of the year, but few are as precious as sapphires. Those born in the month of September are lucky enough to call these gorgeous gems their birthstone. Some months have a few different birthstones, and others have both “traditional” and “modern” options. However, everyone knows that nothing can match the regal beauty of the sapphire, and September’s birthstone stands alone.
Many people choose jewelry and watches that highlight their birthstone when selecting their favorite accessories. Often, individuals feel a strong connection to their birthstone and all that it stands for. In the case of the sapphire, it has strong connections to nobility, faith, loyalty, wisdom, and more.
Join us as we explore some of the key factors that make sapphires stand out as an elite birthstone. Plus, we will highlight some gorgeous pieces that are perfect for the September birthdays in your life.
Gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds may be gaining popularity, but diamonds are forever. They are coveted for their beauty and timelessness. The unmatched sparkle that diamond-pave timepieces have when worn around a wrist is distinct. For anyone looking to feel like royalty by wearing a piece of history on their wrists, a diamond-pave watch is a must-have addition to your collection.
Incorporating diamonds into watches dates back to the 19th century. Patek Philippe crafted the first diamond watch in 1868 for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary. By the 1950s, watches featuring dials adorned with precious stones instead of traditional indexes became popular. For Avi Hiaeve, the founder and CEO of Avi & Co., diamond-studded accessories are an extension of his commitment to luxury.

When you think about investing your capital, you probably think of traditional asset classes like stocks, bonds, or real estate. But in the modern world, there are numerous other options that can yield impressive returns and provide enhanced flexibility and freedom. Luxury watches are one of those attractive asset classes that savvy investors are diving into.
Ultimately, owning a luxury watch is about so much more than just reselling it down the line. You will have a chance to enjoy a gorgeous accessory that you can actually wear and enjoy. A luxury watch signals prestige, taste, and class in a way that less visible assets (like stocks and bonds, for instance) do not. They demonstrate your success and your appreciation for the finer things in life. You can even pass down a luxury watch to future generations, securing ongoing wealth and financial achievement for your family.
