………………………………..SAPPHIRES……the September birthstone……………Did you know that sapphires were the cousins to rubies? They have some of the same mineral compounds……..There is something very alluring about beautiful Sapphires……one of the costliest Gem Stones……The “blue” as QVC calls it, is very deep, but not opaque. The light still penetrates the beads giving them that sparkly effect that I love. Wear them with jeans to add a little glamour. Everyone NEEDS beauty and glamour in their lives……..it just makes living more enjoyable…………………..Happy Holidays………………much Love….,,,,,.Louis
