Does a sapphire ring make a suitable engagement ring?
Diamonds are not the only gemstone suitable for engagement rings. Some of the most beautiful engagement rings have featured coloured gemstones, especially sapphires. Perhaps the most famous sapphire engagement ring, once worn by Princess Diana, is now seen on the hand of Kate Middleton, Duchess of York. If the woman you plan to propose to would like something different yet beautiful, vibrant, and robust, then a sapphire engagement ring is just the right choice for her.
What’s so special about sapphire rings?
Sapphires are an excellent choice for engagement rings. They are regal gems famously favoured by royalty. Sapphires are known for their toughness and durability with a rating of 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Since they have no “cleavage”, these precious gems do not break or chip easily and sapphire rings can withstand wear and tear very well. They are also relatively easy to care for at home—soap and water are usually sufficient to keep sapphires clean and sparkling.
Sapphire stone colours
The most popular and valuable colour for sapphires is
♦ An intense, velvety blue,
♦ Colourless
♦ Fancy colours such as pink, yellow, orange, and green.
Fancy-coloured sapphires are increasingly popular choices for engagement rings.
How to choose a sapphire engagement ring
If you and your partner are shopping together for a sapphire engagement ring, you will likely have an easy and joyful experience as you browse several sapphire rings and pick the one you like best. In case you are shopping alone to surprise your lady love, here are the different styles of sapphire engagement rings you will find in our collection:
A classic blue sapphire engagement ring is set with a single blue sapphire in a prong setting. A sapphire engagement ring may also be set with multiple blue sapphires.
A fancy-coloured sapphire engagement ring is set with one or more sapphires in gorgeous pastel colours such as pink, yellow, peach, and green. These sapphires can be round, oval, square, or pear-shaped.
An eternity sapphire engagement ring is also a great choice. Small sapphires are set in a continuous circle that wraps lovingly around her finger. A sapphire eternity ring represents your lasting affection and commitment to the woman you wish to marry.
A diamond and sapphire engagement ring is an all-time favourite combination that is not only beautiful but also stylish and graceful. You could choose a ring with a central sapphire surrounded by small diamonds or a three-stone ring with a sapphire flanked by a diamond on either side. Sapphires combine so beautifully with diamonds that almost any design will make a lovely engagement ring.
Gold, sapphire engagement rings come in a choice of 9k to 22k yellow gold, 18k, 14k or 10k white gold and rose gold. Sapphire engagement rings are also available in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, which is more affordable yet precious and high quality in design and craftsmanship.
