Sapphires are cherished for their durability, beauty, and symbolism. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale (second only to diamonds), sapphires are ideal for everyday wear. They're associated with loyalty, wisdom, and nobility, making them a meaningful alternative to traditional diamond rings. Their rich blue hue is timeless, though they come in a variety of colors.

No, sapphires come in a wide range of colors, including pink, yellow, green, orange, purple, and even colorless. Sapphires other than red are collectively called 'fancy sapphires'.

Are sapphire engagement rings more affordable than diamond rings?

Generally, yes. High-quality sapphires are often more affordable than diamonds of similar size and quality.

Sapphires pair beautifully with a variety of metals. White gold or platinum enhances the cool tones of blue sapphires, while yellow or rose gold provides a warm contrast. The choice depends on personal style and skin tone.

What is the significance of a blue sapphire engagement ring?

Blue sapphires symbolize loyalty, faithfulness, and sincerity—ideal qualities for a lifelong partnership. The color blue is also associated with calm, trust, and wisdom, making it a deeply meaningful choice for an engagement ring.
