There’s something quietly striking about a blue sapphire engagement ring. It simply stands out naturally — the depth of colour, shifting subtly in different light, speaks for itself. From bright cornflower blues and light blues to rich, royal blues and deep, inky tones, each sapphire carries a distinct presence.
At Lizunova, we handpick blue sapphires for their beautiful colour, quality of cut, clarity and, more importantly, their character. Every engagement ring is crafted in Sydney, with a focus on thoughtful design and ethical sourcing. Whether you’re drawn to something timeless or thoughtfully unique, a blue sapphire engagement ring effortlessly holds its own.
Blue sapphires offer a balance of elegance and individuality. Their rich tones have been valued for generations, yet they feel refreshingly modern in the right setting.
Blue sapphires come in a range of shades — from light, pastel blues and vivid cornflower blues to deeper, velvety royal blue hues. This variety allows for personal expression, whether you prefer something bold or understated. Their natural strength (sapphires measure 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamonds) also makes them well-suited for everyday wear, precisely what an engagement ring should be.
Finding the right blue sapphire comes down to four elements: colour, shape, cut and size. The colour sets the tone — whether you’re drawn to lighter blues with an airy feel or richer shades with depth and intensity.
A well-cut sapphire, in any shape, will catch and refract the light much better than a poorly cut sapphire, so selecting a well-cut sapphire is extremely important. Round brilliant, oval, cushion, radiant and pear brilliant cuts will sparkle a lot more than a step cut, such as an emerald cut or an asscher cut for example, due to the larger number of facets refracting the light.
Then there’s the setting. A simple solitaire highlights the stone’s natural beauty, while side stones or intricate details can add texture and contrast without overwhelming the sapphire’s charm.
Concerned about clarity? We’ve already taken care of that at Lizunova. Every sapphire in our collection is hand-selected for its exceptional quality, so you can focus on finding your perfect piece without worrying about imperfections.
Designing a bespoke ring is about more than picking a stone. It starts with a conversation about your style, what matters to you and how you want the ring to feel when you wear it.
At Lizunova, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from a curated selection of sapphires handpicked from the renowned gem-rich regions not only here in Australia but also in Sri Lanka and Madagascar. From there, you’ll work with our team to shape the design — whether that means a minimal setting or something with more intricate detail.
A blue sapphire engagement ring isn’t just a piece of jewellery — it’s something personal and forever. At Lizunova, we create rings that reflect this, combining the finest handpicked gemstones and diamonds with considered design and meticulous craftsmanship.

Are blue sapphire engagement rings more affordable than diamonds?
Generally, yes — blue sapphires are often more affordable than diamonds of comparable size. The diamond market is heavily influenced by global supply and demand and strict grading systems, which can drive up prices. Sapphires, on the other hand, are valued more for their colour, provenance and character, which allows for a wider range of options at different price points. Royal blue sapphires for example, are more rare and as a result valued higher than light blue sapphires. Rare sapphires of exceptional colour, clarity and size are very valuable.
Do blue sapphire engagement rings in Australia hold their value?
They can, especially if the sapphire is of high quality and the craftsmanship is exceptional. Like all gemstones, value is influenced by factors such as colour, clarity, carat weight and origin. Sapphires with vivid, well-saturated blues from reputable sources tend to hold their value well. The design and materials of the ring itself also play a role, so a thoughtfully crafted piece will always carry lasting appeal.
What does a blue sapphire engagement ring symbolise?
Historically, blue sapphires were seen as stones that brought protection and reflected divine favour. In the context of an engagement ring, they often symbolise trust, romance and a depth of connection. But beyond tradition, many people are simply drawn to the stone’s natural beauty and rich colour, which makes its own statement without needing to be tied to symbolism.
Are blue sapphire engagement rings durable for everyday wear?
Yes, blue sapphires are an excellent choice for everyday wear. They rank just below diamonds on the Mohs scale of hardness, which means they’re resistant to scratches and general wear. This makes them well-suited for engagement rings, which are worn daily. Of course, like any fine jewellery, it’s a good idea to be mindful during activities that could expose the ring to hard knocks or harsh chemicals.
What metal pairs best with a blue sapphire engagement ring?
Blue sapphires pair beautifully with a range of metals, but the choice often comes down to the look you prefer. Platinum and white gold highlight the sapphire’s cool tones, creating a crisp contrast. Yellow gold adds warmth, which can make the blue appear even more vivid. Rose gold offers a softer, more contemporary feel.
Each sapphire is carefully hand-picked for its quality, beauty and rarity. We use only high-grade, conflict-free diamonds.

We use Australian ring size measurements, which are in an alphabetical range from A-Z.
As your fingers contract and expand due to the temperature, humidity, exercise, etc, your ring will fit on your finger tighter or looser. Your ring should fit comfortably and you need to find a balance between too big and too small. It is recommended that you should have to push your ring on tightly over your knuckle and it should spin slightly around the base of your finger. There should be some resistance when the ring is taken off – this will help to keep the ring on when your fingers are cold or wet. The correct size is the one that you feel the most confident and comfortable with.
We suggest that you size the finger you intend to wear your ring on at room temperature – this should provide you with a size that should be close to perfect most of the time.
Top-heavy rings can tend to spin on your finger, as the base of your finger is usually thinner than your knuckle. We suggest when sizing your finger for a top-heavy ring, that you err on the tighter side, rather than a loose fit. This will mean that the ring will stay on the top of your finger and it will ultimately be more comfortable to wear.
If you’re choosing a wide ring, you will tend to go up a size. There is more surface area on a wider ring and therefore more metal to grip to your finger.
If you are interested in a ring that is 5mm or wider, we suggest going up a size (one size larger than the sizing gauge). We suggest going up another size if the ring you are interested in is 9mm or larger (two sizes larger than the sizing gauge).
If you are buying a ring as a gift for someone, we recommend that you measure the inside diameter of a ring the person you’re buying the gift for, regularly wears on the finger your gift will be worn on.
If you do not know your ring size you can use this guide to obtain an approximate measurement.
Before measuring the finger on which the ring you’re purchasing will be worn, please ensure the following:
The number that lines up with edges of the opening is the ‘interior circumference’. Please note this number and then refer to our Ring Size Chart to choose the correct ring size.
If you do not know your ring size you can use this guide to obtain an approximate measurement.
If you have a ring that is worn on the finger you need sizing, print out the ring size guide (take care to print it at 100%), and place the existing ring over the circles. Measure the inside of the ring against the outside of the circle. If you can hardly see the black line which goes around each circle, you have chosen the right size. Compare the ring to the adjacent circles to check that you definitely have the right size.
You can then double check this measurement by measuring the inside diameter of the ring, and matching that against the ring diameter measurements shown.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a ring available, you can measure the finger itself to obtain an approximate ring size. You can do so by wrapping a piece of string or thin strip of paper around the finger on which you wish to wear the ring, marking it with a pen where it overlaps. Measure the piece of string with a ruler to obtain the circumference of the finger, and compare that to the European Size measurement shown on the chart. We would recommend that in order to obtain the most accurate measurement when taking your ring size in this way, you do so at the end of the day when the finger is at its largest, and not when your hands are unusually cold as this would lead to a smaller ring size.
