Sapphire is the birthstone for September. Ancient lists also name sapphire as a birthstone for April and the gemstone for the sign of Taurus. Since sapphire symbolizes sincerity and faithfulness, it is an excellent choice for an engagement ring. The most valuable sapphires have a medium intense, vivid blue color. The best sapphires hold the brightness of their color under all different types of lighting. As with all gemstones, sapphires which are "clean" and have few visible inclusions or tiny flaws are the most valuable. The sapphire is considered to be the symbol of power, obedience, fidelity, chastity.
