Sapphire Engagement Ring FAQ's

Are Sapphire Engagement Rings durable enough for everyday wear?

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.

How do Sapphire Engagement Rings compare to diamonds in terms of price and value?

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.

What colours of Sapphires are available for Engagement Rings?

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.

Is it possible to create a custom Sapphire Engagement Ring design?

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.

Do Sapphires have any special meaning or symbolism in Engagement Rings?

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.

Can Sapphires be paired with Diamonds in an Engagement Ring design?

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.

How do I choose the best sapphire for my Engagement Ring in terms of colour and clarity?

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.

What is a Parti-Sapphire?

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.
