Amanda’s Style File: September Sparkle
This edition offers 16 sapphire styles that will have jewelry lovers celebrating long after the month is over.
Strong, resilient, beautiful and full of sparkle—these words could be used to describe so many women. It also can be used to describe September’s birthstone, sapphire.

It is durable enough for everyday wear, yet refined enough to be worn for the most special of all occasions.
Those lucky enough to call sapphire their birthstone get treated to a colorful variety of exquisite gems and styles. The designs, in fact, are so plentiful that this edition of Amanda’s Style File had to expand to a sweet 16.
