Pink sapphire rings are highly affordable, yet stunning alternative to pink diamond rings. They are perfect <a href="http://www.stylebum.com/category/gifts/"target="_self"title="gifts" >gifts</a> for people who celebrate birthdays on September and for those fifth and forty fifth wedding anniversaries.</p>
<p>In Latin, the word sapphire means blue. However, sapphires come in many different colors and pink is one of these colors. Pink sapphires are often referred to as fancy sapphires which means any colored sapphires other than blue. Pink sapphires or fancy sapphires &#8221; they enhance pure individualistic colored stone <a href="http://www.stylebum.com/category/jewelry/"target="_self"title="jewelry" >jewelry</a>.</p>
<p>Pink sapphire is sometimes referred to as pink corundum. Corundum is a form of gemstone. It is clear while pink sapphire contains traces of titanic oxide which basically account for its pink coloration. Sapphire is the second hardest natural mineral because it is 9.0 on the Mohs scale of hardness.</p>
<p>Pink sapphires are believed to awaken emotional intelligence, which fosters strong sense of emotional identity. Some say that wearing it will improve ones ability to perceive energies, including gemstone energies. According to some, this gemstone ease emotional burdens and pains, heal emotional damage, nourish and accelerate emotional development.</p>
<p>Pink sapphire rings are available in a wide range of colors. The colors range from pale pink to deep pink and almost red colors (the red variety of corundum is ruby). The pink sapphires in pale pink are very similar to pink diamonds. The deeper the pink color the higher is their monetary value.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Asking a person what his or her <a target="_blank" href="http://zodiacbirthstone.blogspot.com/">zodiac birthstone</a> is typically generates an immediate answer. How is it that nearly everyone knows the answer? It is because people enjoy the mysterious qualities connected with birthstones, and think that wearing birth stone <a href="http://www.stylebum.com/category/jewelry/"target="_self"title="jewelry" >jewelry</a>, such as birthstone rings, will protect them and bring them good luck. Beginning back in the period of  the Assyrians in 1400 BC, people have attached magic properties to beautiful and unusual gemstones and held the belief that minerals contained forces or possessed distinct values and powers.</p>
<p>As per tradition, a precious stone was delegated to each one of the zodiac signs based on a color system. It was the color that was believed to bring out the power attributed to the stone. As time went on, the birthstone became associated with months instead of the zodiac. Soon, folks started choosing birthstones in additional colors.</p>
<p>The <a target="_blank" href="http://zodiacbirthstone.blogspot.com/2009/05/birthstone-facts.html">birthstone list</a>, that is the one normally used today, was adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers back in 1912.</p>
<p>The garnet gem signifies the 2nd year of matrimony as well as being the birthstone for the month of January.</p>
<p>If you have reached the 6th year of marriage, then your anniversary gemstone would be the Amethyst, which is also the February birthstone.</p>
<p>Aquamarine is the established birth stone for March while in addition being the approved anniversary gemstone for the 19th year of marriage.</p>
<p>If you were born in the month of April, the diamond is the birthstone for you. As well as being the most popular gemstone for engagement rings, the diamond also signifies the 10th and sixteenth years of marital bliss.</p>
<p>The Emerald is the birth stone for the month of May. It is in addition the anniversary stone for the twentieth and thirty-fifth years of marriage.</p>
<p>In addition to being the anniversary gemstone for 3 and 13 years of wedlock, the pearl is also the June birthstone</p>
<p>The Ruby is the traditional <a target="_blank" href="http://zodiacbirthstone.blogspot.com/2009/05/july-birthstone-is-ruby.html">birthstone for July</a>. It is additionally the approved anniversary gemstone for the fifteenth and fortieth year of wedlock.</p>
<p>The August birthstone is the peridot which is also the gem accredited for sixteen years of married bliss</p>
<p>The Sapphire is the September birthstone, in addition to the anniversary gem for the fifth and 45th years of matrimony.</p>
<p>The Opal is the October birth stone, in addition to being the approved anniversary gemstone for the fourteenth year of wedlock.</p>
<p>In addition to being the established birthstone for those born in October, Topaz is the anniversary stone to mark four years of wedlock. Imperial topaz signifies twenty-three years of wedded bliss.</p>
<p>If you have been married for 11 years, your anniversary gemstone is turquoise, which is also the December birthstone.</p>
<p>The legends and myths associated with birthstones have been around for centuries. They were prescribed per the birth zodiac and in recent times, are designated according to a birthstone chart. An individuals birthstone was believed to have mysterious properties that would help and protect them. Even today, numerous people still enjoy the myths and stories behind jewelry birthstones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since the first century particular gemstones have been linked with the zodiac signs and have been incorporated into <a target="_blank" title="gold and silver birthstone jewelry" href="http://birthstonejewelrystore.com">birthstone jewelry</a>. At first birthstone schemes were based on the individual color of the stones. The origins of the practice are believed to be related to the Breastplate of Aaron which incorporated gems representing the 12 tribes of Israel. Each gem had the name of the tribe inscribed on it and they were attached to the breastplate in 4 rows of three. While the names of the gemstones that were used  are accepted, the correct translation is undetermined so the particular stones used are not known. This has resulted in different gemstones being associated with the different zodiac signs.</p>
<p> Later birthstones became linked to the months of the year rather than the zodiac signs and there has been a lot of disparity in the month to which a gemstone is assigned. The most extensively used list these days is one which was proposed in 1902 by the American Association of Jewelers, and incorporates some substitutes for the higher-priced gemstones. One gemstone has been added since then. Tanzanite was added as a birthstone for December in 2002 by the American Gem Association although it is not acknowledged by everyone.</p>
<p> Some other listings which correlate specific gemstones with the month of birth include mystical birthstones and Ayurvedic birthstones. The mystical birthstones list is thought to originate over 1000 years in the past and originated Tibet, the Ayurvedic birthstones list is from ancient Indian medicine and dates back to around 1500 BC. However the majority use the modern systems initiated by the Association of Jewelers.</p>
<p>Contemporary Scheme</p>
<ul>
<li>January &#8211; garnet, emerald</li>
<li>February &#8211; amethyst</li>
<li>March &#8211; aquamarine</li>
<li>April &#8211; diamond</li>
<li>May &#8211; emerald</li>
<li>June &#8211; moonstone, pearl</li>
<li>July &#8211; ruby</li>
<li>August &#8211; peridot</li>
<li>September &#8211; sapphire</li>
<li>October &#8211; opal, tourmaline</li>
<li>November &#8211; topaz, citrine</li>
<li>December &#8211; turquoise, tanzanite, blue topaz</li>
</ul>
<p>Consequently there are various different gemstones to select from. If you are not fond of your birthstone from the contemporary system, select one from the traditional listing.There are lovely examples of <a target="_blank" title="silver birthstone jewelry" href="http://birthstonejewelrystore.com/silver-birthstone-jewelry/">silver birthstone jewelry</a></a> available and they make superb birthday <a href="http://www.stylebum.com/category/gifts/"target="_self"title="gifts" >gifts</a> for loved ones, that demonstrate we put thought into picking a gift that is perfect for them.
