What Makes Green Sapphire Engagement Rings Unique?

Green sapphire engagement rings offer a unique and beautiful alternative to the traditional diamond engagement rings. Known for their enchanting hues ranging from vibrant forest greens to lighter green shades, these stones capture the essence of nature and offer unparalleled individuality.

The Meaning Behind Green Sapphires

Green sapphires are more than just visually stunning; they also carry deep symbolism.

The colour green is associated with growth, renewal and prosperity, making a green sapphire engagement ring a meaningful symbol of a new chapter in a couple’s relationship. The serene and calming hues of green sapphires symbolise love, harmony and balance, reflecting the qualities of a strong and lasting partnership.

The Rarity and Value of Green Sapphire

Green sapphires are less common than traditional blue sapphires, making them a popular choice for engagement rings. They often originate from Australia, Africa and the United States.

How To Choose the Best Green Sapphire Engagement Ring in Sydney

Finding the right green engagement ring comes down to a few key details:

Colour — Green sapphires range from soft sage to deep forest green. Rich, well-saturated hues with good clarity are the most sought-after.
Cut — The cut affects how the sapphire reflects light. Round, oval and cushion cuts maximise brilliance, while emerald and pear cuts offer an elegant, one-of-a-kind look.
Setting — A classic solitaire highlights the sapphire’s natural beauty, while halo or side stone settings add extra sparkle and dimension.

Finding the right engagement ring is a major decision — one that should feel just as special as the moment it represents. Our team is here to walk you through your options, whether you’re choosing from our collection or designing a bespoke piece. Get in touch with us today for personalised advice.

Varied And Unique

From deep, rich green tones to more delicate, light green sapphire engagement rings, the variation in colour allows for a highly personalised selection. Lighter green sapphires exude a gentle and soft elegance, perfect for those who prefer a subtle yet unique look. On the other hand, darker shades of green sapphires offer a bold and striking appearance that stands out in any setting, and both pair beautifully with diamond accents.

How To Care for Your Green Sapphire Engagement Ring

A little care goes a long way in keeping your green engagement ring looking its best. To avoid unnecessary wear or damage, remove it before activities like exercising, playing sports, gardening or swimming in chlorinated water.

Engagement rings and other pieces of jewellery that are worn frequently should be cleaned weekly. Soak them in lukewarm water with a drop of mild, non-abrasive dish soap or specialised jewellery cleaner for about 10 minutes. Then, gently brush away any residue with a soft-bristled brush, especially under the setting where dirt collects. Dry and polish them with a soft cloth.

For optimal care, schedule a professional ultrasonic cleaning and inspection at our studio.

FAQs

Which metal pairs best with an engagement ring with a green sapphire?

It depends on the look you’re after. Green sapphires have a natural versatility that works beautifully with different metal tones. Platinum and white gold offer a crisp, modern contrast, making the green appear even more vibrant. Yellow gold brings warmth, enhancing the earthy, golden undertones found in certain green sapphires. Rose gold can add a softer, feminine feel, and highlight cooler tones.

Ultimately, it’s about what feels right for you — whether that’s a striking contrast or a setting that enhances the stone’s natural depth.

What’s the best carat size for a green sapphire engagement ring?

There’s no universal “perfect” size — it all depends on your personal preferences and budget. Green sapphires are naturally rich in colour, meaning even a one to two-carat stone can have a striking presence. If you’re drawn to a more statement-worthy piece, 2.5 carats and beyond can add extra visual impact. Keep in mind that as the carat weight increases, so does the price.

While carat weight influences a stone’s size, it’s not the only factor to consider. Cut quality plays a key role in how a sapphire interacts with light, affecting its brilliance and how large it appears on the finger.

If you're choosing a ring for your partner and unsure about size or cut, don’t hesitate to contact us for expert recommendations.

Ring Sizes

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.

MEASURING YOUR FINGER

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:

Do not measure a finger when it is cold or too hot as this can have a significant effect on a ring size.
Ensure that the size you choose has some resistance going on, and especially coming off, the finger.
If you have a bigger knuckle and a thin part of the finger the ring will be worn on, the ring should be a very tight fit over the knuckle, to ensure that when it's worn it doesn't spin on the finger.
If you have a smaller knuckle and the part of the finger where the ring will be worn is almost the same size as the knuckle, the fit where the ring will be worn should be tighter, as the knuckle will not stop it from sliding off.
There are significant size differences between the right and left hand, so we recommend you measure the finger of the hand you intend to wear your ring on.
To measure your finger you can use a tape measure or download our Ring Size Chart.

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.
