When selecting the perfect teal sapphire and ring design, consider the following factors:
Cut & Shape: A well-cut sapphire will refract light beautifully, enhancing its overall brilliance. A perennial favourite is the classic round or oval teal sapphire engagement ring. Pear teal sapphire engagement ring is another popular choice, followed by the emerald cut with its clean, Art Deco lines, and the cushion cut, faceted in the classic brilliant or modified cut. Round, oval, cushion, radiant and pear shape sapphires have more brilliance than emerald step cut stones, due to the higher number of facets refracting the light. Rare, artisanal shapes such as kite, barion, hexagon, freeform, shield and trilliant cuts further open the scope for creative expression and ensuring your ring is truly unique.
Colour: Some teal sapphires lean toward a cooler blue-teal, while others have a more pronounced green undertone. The colour saturation can also vary from light and translucent to deeper shades. Choose a hue that speaks to you.
Clarity: While inclusions in natural gems are normal, opt for stones with minimal visible imperfections to enhance brilliance. At Lizunova, we take care of this aspect for you by handpicking sapphires that are free from both visible imperfections such as inclusions, and hidden imperfections such as fissures.
Ethical Sourcing: Ensure your sapphire comes from a responsible source. At Lizunova, we prioritise ethical sourcing of sapphires from small scale, local producers.
Customisation: A bespoke ring design allows you the freedom to create a piece that reflects your partner’s individuality and lifestyle, and can include meaningful details, such as a hidden birthstone, a special design detail or an engraving.
