Sapphire Engagement Rings

Natural sapphires are a precious gemstone from the corundum family (which also includes ruby). They offer a beautiful and more affordable alternative to traditional diamonds as an engagement ring centre stone. Celebrated for their rich, captivating colours and exceptional durability (sapphires measure 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamonds), sapphires add a sophisticated and highly personal touch to your special forever ring. Ranging from classic deep royal blue to mesmerising shades of teal, green, pink, yellow, peach, orange, purple and more, these amazing gemstones provide a diverse palette that allows couples to express their individuality. Beyond their beauty, sapphires carry deep historical and symbolic significance, representing loyalty, wisdom and eternal love. If you're looking for a timeless, elegant ring that stands out, a sapphire engagement ring might just be the perfect choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Australian sapphires and Ceylon (Sri Lankan) sapphires?

Due to the differing geological conditions, each region produces its own distinct colours. Australian sapphires tend to have deeper, darker blue-teal hues, vibrant greens and yellows, while Ceylon sapphires are known for their bright, richly saturated blues, sunny yellows, pinks that range from pastel to magenta, oranges, lilacs and purples.

Do sapphire engagement rings sparkle like diamonds?

Sapphires have a softer, more subtle sparkle compared to diamonds, offering an elegant shimmer rather than a bright, fiery brilliance.

Do sapphires come in colours other than blue?

Beside blue, which sapphires are traditionally known for, these beautiful gems come in all shades of teal, green, pink, yellow, peach, Padparadscha, grey, brown, orange and purple. They also come in white (colourless) and black, as well as bi colour, or parti - sapphires that display more than one colour.
