Teal Sapphire Engagement Rings

Teal sapphires are gorgeous and instantly captivating, with their seafoam or deep oceanic hues. These amazingly beautiful gems have become a firm favourite with couples in Australia and all over the world as an engagement ring centre stone due to their uniqueness. Australia produces some of the most beautiful, richly coloured teal sapphires, while sapphire gems from Madagascar possess lighter, more translucent colouring, reminiscent of shallow ocean water. Teal sapphires from Montana in the US tend to have cooler tones and vary in colour from icy blues to teal green tones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal pairs best with a teal sapphire engagement ring?

Teal sapphires pair beautifully with all metals. White gold and platinum highlight the sapphire’s cool tones, while warm colour of yellow gold brings out the green hues, and feminine rose gold enhances bluish colour.

What is the best carat size for a teal sapphire engagement ring?

The perfect carat size depends on personal preferences and budget. Teal sapphires have excellent brilliance, making even smaller stones appear vibrant and striking. Focusing on the stone’s overall look and dimensions and how it complements the setting can guide your choice.

How do I clean and care for my teal sapphire engagement ring?

Regularly clean your ring with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals and have it professionally checked regularly – we recommend every 6-12 months.

What is the meaning behind teal sapphire engagement rings?

Sapphires have long been associated with wisdom, loyalty, and nobility. Besides being visually beautiful, teal sapphires carry deep symbolism. Their blue-green tones represent harmony, balance and emotional clarity - qualities essential for a strong and lasting relationship. When looking to imbue meaning to heirloom jewellery pieces such as engagement rings, teal sapphire stands out as it represents a harmonious union and a fresh beginning. Additionally, many couples choose teal sapphires for their engagement rings as a reflection of their shared love of nature and the ocean.

Are teal sapphires rare and valuable?

Teal sapphires are rarer than traditional blue sapphires and are ethically mined in Australia, Madagascar and Montana. Their uniqueness, scarcity and growing popularity make them a sought-after choice in significant jewellery, such as engagement rings. Their value is influenced by factors such as their overall beauty, colour saturation, clarity, cut and carat weight. Stones sourced from specific regions, like Montana in the USA and certain parts of Australia, are particularly prized for their unique colour qualities. Their rarity and distinctive beauty make them desirable and sought-after, adding to their allure and value. Despite their rarity, they offer an affordable alternative to the more traditional diamond rings.

What do I need to consider when choosing a teal sapphire engagement ring?

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.

Are teal sapphire engagement rings a popular choice?

Sapphire engagement rings are gaining popularity both in Australia and beyond, as more couples seek unique and sustainable options that are a step away from the more traditional diamond engagement rings. With local, ethical sourcing and increasing demand for one-of-a kind, locally handcrafted jewellery, teal sapphire rings have become a meaningful expression of both individuality and values.

How do I care for my teal sapphire engagement ring?

Maintaining the brilliance of your teal sapphire engagement ring is simple:

Regular Cleaning: A clean ring is a beautiful ring! Clean your sapphire ring regularly by soaking it for 5-10 minutes in warm water with a drop of mild dishwashing detergent and a brush gently with a soft brush, especially under the settings.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Remove your ring before using chemical cleaning products or swimming in chlorinated water as this may damage your gem in the long term.

Proper Storage: Store your ring in a soft-lined jewellery box away from other pieces to prevent scratches.

Regular Check-ups: Have your ring professionally cleaned and settings checked by a jeweller to ensure the gemstone remains secure.
