September's birthstone is having a moment, and it's not just about the color you think. As one of the world's "big three" colored gemstones, alongside ruby and emerald, sapphire has been treasured by royalty and collectors for centuries. Sapphires span nearly the entire rainbow, rank a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (second only to diamond), and at Fords, ours are ethically sourced, including stones from Montana and hand-selected each year at the Tucson Gem Show. Ready to make one yours? We'd love to help.
