Golden Sapphires for September

September 23rd, 2025 by Jenny Sweaney

Here in Riverside it makes sense to celebrate September birthdays with a sunny, golden gemstone. Yes, Sapphires grow in beautiful yellow hues too! Yellow Sapphires can be pale yellow, the vibrant canary yellow you see in the vintage gems in this video, or mix of yellow and orange or brown. If you love yellow gems you’re probably already aware of Citrine, an affordable form of quartz that comes in golden honey tones. If Citrine is a great color, why would you pay more for a yellow Sapphire? The answer is hardness. The tops of Citrines tend to get scratched when worn in bracelets and rings, giving them a fuzzy and murky appearance. Sapphires are really hard gems, so they scratch much less and stay more sparkly.
