Like waves on a clear blue sea, or twisting wind-swept clouds, these whimsical designs are an artistic expression of spirit and uniqueness. Sapphire is the birthstone of September, and one of the most popular gemstones on the jewelry scene today. The deep blue color of a sapphire ring is just right for an evening out. Brown gemstones are gaining in popularity and smoky quartz is an affordable choice. A smoky quartz ring goes well with autumn colors and evening wear.
