In the search for meaningful, ethical engagement rings and jewellery, many are turning away from convention and embracing individuality - and sapphires are leading the way. Known for their incredible colour variety and durability, sapphire gemstones, particularly those from Australia, are becoming the contemporary symbol of personal expression and timeless beauty.
Australian sapphires offer more than just aesthetics. They are ethically mined, often locally cut, and available in shades that reflect the natural landscapes of the beautiful land they come from - from eucalyptus greens, to ocean teals and wattle yellows. With their traceable origins and unique hues, these precious gems speak to those who value both beauty and substance. Whether chosen for custom pieces or heirloom designs such as engagement rings, Australian sapphires are as distinct as the land they come from and the people who wear them.
A sapphire is a precious stone from the corundum family, known for its exceptional hardness and vibrant range of colours.
Though traditionally associated with rich royal blue tones, sapphires come in a huge spectrum of hues. The only colour corundum can't be is red - that's classified as a ruby! Sapphires are durable, ranking at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, just below diamonds, making them a reliable choice for everyday fine jewellery, such as engagement rings.
Sapphire gemstones are not only beautiful, they’re also practical. They resist scratches better than other gems (apart from diamonds) and offer colour variety that diamonds don’t. Compared to other gems, such as emeralds, tourmalines, tanzanites or opals, sapphires are significantly more durable and better suited for daily wear.
Historically, sapphires have symbolised wisdom, loyalty and nobility. They’ve adorned robes of clergy and crown jewels of monarchs.
From ancient Persia to modern Europe, sapphires have been valued not just for their beauty and rarity but also for the virtues they were believed to bestow - truth, sincerity and divine favour.
Their traditional deep blue hue became a status symbol in medieval Europe, linked to royalty and clergy. Princess Diana’s sapphire engagement ring (now worn by Princess Kate) further cemented the gem’s royal association.
Australian sapphires are known for their bold, distinctive colours and ethical sourcing. Mined primarily in Queensland and New South Wales, they’re often deeper and more varied in tone than sapphires from other regions. Australian sapphires are characterised by their gorgeous forest greens, deep teals and wattle yellows, and many stones combine two, or all three of these colours - these gems are known as parti sapphires. Unique and beautiful, Australian parti sapphires make unforgettable engagement rings and one-of-a-kind jewellery.
Each region imparts its own stamp on the sapphires that it produces, due to the unique geological conditions. Ceylon (Sri Lankan) sapphires are famed for their distinct blues, from deep royal blue, to vivid cornflower blue and all shades of lighter blue, as well as all shades of pink, yellow, orange, purple and more. Madagascan sapphires are famed for their lighter, more translucent teal colours, perfect for lovers of seafoam teal sapphires. Australian sapphires often showcase rich, vibrant greens, teals and parti tones. Their unique colours and traceability make them a favourite for ethical, custom fine jewellery.
Even though traditionally sapphires are thought of as blue, they come in a wide palette of colours that gives jewellers and wearers alike creative freedom and scope for unparalleled self-expression.
Deep, royal blue, cornflower blue and lighter blue sapphires are a classic choice, evoking elegance and sophistication. Perfect for traditional and timeless pieces - blue sapphire engagement rings never go out of style.
Deep, oceanic teals, seafoam hues, rich forest greens and light green sapphire hues, that capture the essence of Australian landscapes appeal to nature lovers. Teal sapphire engagement rings are unique, contemporary and beautiful.
Rare and striking, Australian parti sapphires display multiple colours in a single gem - often blue and green, blue and yellow, or blue, green and yellow. They are a perfect, distinctive choice for those seeking something truly one-of-a-kind. Parti sapphire engagement rings are for lovers of individuality, and unique jewellery.
Delicate hues perfect for romantic jewellery. Padparadscha sapphires, with their pink-orange blend, are among the rarest and most valuable.
Yellow sapphires come in a range of hues from vivid, vibrant yellows, to soft, pastel hues. They are cheerful and uplifting and look amazing set in yellow gold. Champagne sapphires have soft, sophisticated tones and look wonderful set in warm rose or yellow gold.
Natural sapphire gems are versatile and can elevate almost any piece of jewellery.

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.
If you require any further assistance in obtaining your ring size, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
