Melbourne couples are opting for a colourful twist when it comes to choosing unique rings for this special milestone: sapphire engagement rings.
Lizunova founder Maria believes that, “people are moving away from the generic and ubiquitous nature of a white diamond and looking for something more individual and unique instead.
“We’re seeing people choosing unique designs and sapphire engagement rings in Melbourne and I think it’s partly because there’s an element of wanting to move away from the traditional expectation that an engagement ring has to be a diamond, and partly because people are drawn to the significance and beauty of a homegrown Australian gem.”

Why Melbourne Couples Are Choosing Sapphire Engagement Rings
In our experience, couples choose sapphires for this milestone piece of jewellery because of the rich, vibrant colour they bring to an engagement ring, and the durability that makes them a stunning alternative to traditional diamonds.
Sapphires are actually the second hardest gem (second only to diamonds) making them an excellent choice for an engagement ring as they can withstand daily wear for many years.
Sapphire rings come in a range of stunning colours, from classic blues to ocean teals, gumtree greens, sun-kissed yellows and all shades of pink, orange and purple. And then of course, there are the unique, one-of-a-kind parti sapphires, with two or three colours in one stone - usually teal, green and yellow, combining to an enchanting effect.
This gives stylish couples looking for sapphire rings in Melbourne many more options to choose from when it comes to designing or picking out a ring that perfectly matches their unique style.
Symbolism and meaning also factor into the decision to choose sapphires over diamonds. They’re thought to bring “gifts of fulfilment, joy, prosperity, inner peace and beauty” and they have historically been associated with wisdom, loyalty, and nobility. For couples who love symbolism this adds another layer of meaning to an engagement, making it even more special.
