Collection: Sapphire Engagement Rings

Yes, sapphires are a great choice for everyday wear. With a hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale, they're second only to diamonds, making them durable and resistant to scratches.

Sapphires are generally more affordable than diamonds, but their value can vary depending on factors like colour and origin. You can often get a larger sapphire for the same price as a smaller diamond.
The most expensive Sapphires are often Padparadscha sapphires with their pink and orange tones, as well as rich blue Sapphires from Kashmir & Sri Lanka.
More unusual coloured Sapphires like dual coloured Part-Sapphires can also increase in value due to their scarcity.

While blue is the most popular, sapphires come in a variety of stunning colours, including pink, yellow, green, and even white. These are known as "fancy sapphires."
The only colour that a sapphire isn’t available in is red. This is because red corundum (the name for the material that sapphire is made out of) is a Ruby.

Absolutely! Sapphires can be incorporated into custom engagement ring designs, allowing you to choose everything from the stone’s shape and colour to the setting and metal type.
As a specialist in bespoke Engagement Rings I would love to assist you in sourcing the most perfect Sapphire for your Engagement Ring, whether you’d like a traditional blue or a more unusual tone for your gem.

Many sapphires are ethically sourced, particularly from mines in Sri Lanka and Madagascar. Look for stones certified as ethically mined or ask your jeweller about their sourcing practices.
I carefully vet all of my gemstone suppliers to ensure they come from an ethical and sustainable source. Some of the best ethical sapphires are found in Montana in the USA and have some lovely blue and green tones.

Sapphires are tough but still need care. Clean them regularly by soaking in a dish of warm soapy water before carefully cleaning with a soft toothbrush. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or extreme temperature changes.

Sapphires are deeply symbolic and often associated with wisdom, loyalty, and trust, qualities that make them a meaningful choice for engagement rings.
Historically, sapphires were worn by royalty and nobility, symbolising virtue and honour. In fact, sapphires have been linked to royalty for centuries, with famous examples like Princess Diana’s iconic sapphire engagement ring, now worn by the Duchess of Cambridge.
Their deep, rich colours are thought to represent truth and faithfulness, making them a powerful gemstone to signify a lifelong commitment in marriage.

Round, oval, and cushion cuts are among the most popular for sapphire engagement rings, in the same way that these shapes are popular in Diamond Engagement Rings. That’s not to say that Sapphires aren’t available in other shapes. An emerald cut sapphire is a great way to achieve a ring with an Art Deco feel, whilst more unique cuts can create an unusual Sapphire Engagement Ring.

Yes! Sapphires pair beautifully with diamonds, often used as side stones or in halo settings. This combination creates a stunning contrast between the hue of the sapphire and the sparkle of the diamonds.
As a lover of sparkle I usually recommend adding a little diamond detail to sapphire engagement rings so enhance the beauty of the gemstone.

Yes, high-quality sapphires can retain or even increase in value, especially if they have excellent colour and clarity due to their rarity. Natural, untreated sapphires tend to hold the most value.

The most valuable sapphires have a deep, vivid colour with good transparency. Look for a stone that is free of visible inclusions, as clarity impacts both the beauty and value of the sapphire.
One element to look for in a sapphire is that the stone isn’t opaque, as this affects any light being able to pass through the stone and they can appear a little flat in appearance.

A Parti-sapphire is a unique type of sapphire that displays two or more distinct colours within the same stone, often showing a mix of blue, yellow, and green hues. These striking bi-colour sapphires are naturally formed, making each one truly one-of-a-kind. Choosing a Parti-sapphire engagement ring adds a unique flair to your design, perfect for those seeking something different from traditional gemstones. The combination of colours in a bi-colour sapphire engagement ring creates a vibrant and eye-catching piece.
