What The Stars Say About Sapphire Engagement Rings?

Since 3000BC ancient societies have believed in the magical properties of beautiful gemstones. The vibrant colours were said to unleash the therapeutic, medicinal and mystical powers associated with the gem. Indian and Babylonian civilizations linked the ruling planets with corresponding gemstones, which then became the basis for the zodiac system used today. Rings featuring a bride’s birthstone such as sapphire engagement rings or pearl ones have recently grown in popularity.

Your girlfriend’s astrological sign will give you a unique insight into her personality and character. Choosing to adorn her engagement ring with her particular birth stone will not only guarantee a stunning and distinctive piece for all to admire but it will also bring mystical properties to your union that not even modern science can explain.

Every astrological sign is tied in with a birth month, particular birthstone and unique personality attributes. It is said that by wearing your particular birthstone it will enhance your positive characteristics and may even exude therapeutic and medicinal benefits. For example, brides born in the month of September are Virgos who are known for being analytical, diligent, orderly and self-sufficient. Virgos should look for sapphire engagement rings, as they will benefit from the stone’s immense strength. Sapphires represent and promote truth, constancy and sincerity. They have even been said to have the ability to lower fevers and reduce inflammation.

Sapphire engagement rings have exploded in popularity due to the stunning examples currently being worn by Kate Middleton and Halle Berry. However, they do now run the risk of becoming rather commonplace in the world of engagement rings.

If you are fortunate enough to have connected with and proposed to a Cancer, choose a delicate ring featuring pearls or moonstones to suit her perfectly. Cancer’s birth month is June and the associated birthstone is either a pearl or a moonstone. The characteristics found in Cancers include fearlessness, empathy, tenacity, intuitiveness and imagination. They are typically full of energy, wit and creativity. Cancer’s excellent people-skills make them visionary problem-solvers and they are very persuasive.

Pearls and moonstones were a popular feature on engagement rings in the Victorian and Belle Époque era. The shimmering iridescence of the pearl combined classic elegance with dazzling beauty. The significance and unique properties associated with both pearls and moonstones makes them even more valuable. Pearls, known as the ‘stone of sincerity’ represent purity, honesty, integrity and wisdom. They are said to offer the wearer greater focus and a sense of tranquillity. Tradition has it that the wearer of a pearl will also be blessed with good fortune and prosperity while gaining vitality and intelligence.

Virgos will love sapphire engagement rings, which are stunning, but may not be the elegantly refined look that your bride, if she is a Cancer, desires. So look to the stars for guidance and put the mythological Gods on your side. Don’t argue with the wisdom of the zodiac and let the cosmos lead you to the perfect ring for your soul mate.
