Unconventional Engagement Rings: What to Know When Choosing a Sapphire Ring

Engagement Rings, Jewellery / By Paris Jewellers

Are you planning on popping the question to your beloved, but looking for a ring with a gemstone that’s as unique as your love story? While diamonds remain the most popular option for engagement rings, plenty of couples choose different gemstones as the centrepiece for their rings, giving a distinct twist to your modern proposal. Sapphires are one of the most popular alternative stones thanks to their stunning beauty, as well as their beautiful nature. Worn by influential women like Princess Diana and, later on, her daughter-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, sapphires have become a timeless symbol for elegance, grace and romance. Learn more about the benefits of choosing sapphires for your engagement rings below!

Classic Elegance Meets New Age Beauty

Want a ring that marries old-world charm with modern style? Sapphires have you covered. These beautiful stones have been popular for many years, but spiked in demand after being included in two royal weddings. As a timeless symbol of beauty that melds perfectly with today’s modern and unique aesthetics, sapphires are versatile and give you plenty of options while designing.

Versatility

Though sapphires are wildly known for their trademark, deep blue hues, the gemstone is actually available in a wide variety of colours ranging all the way from clear to pink, light blue, yellow, and more. This gives you plenty of opportunities to custom your ring even further and truly create a one-of-a-kind fit that’s perfect for your spouse to be!

Budget-Friendly

If budget concerns are front of mind for you when selecting an engagement ring, you’ll be pleased to know that sapphires are generally more price-friendly in comparison to diamonds. This means you may be able to make the most of your ideal spend and design something truly breathtaking for the one you love, all without breaking your budget.

What to Keep in Mind

While, as we’ve said, sapphires made a wonderful alternative to traditional diamond rings, there are a few aspects you’ll want to keep in mind while hunting for the perfect fit. Such details include:

Never Forget the 4 C’s!

The 4 C’s (cut, clarity, colour, carat) may be most synonymous with diamonds, but they’re just as important when selecting a sapphire centre stone. As with any precious stone, no two gems are created equal, and they certainly aren’t always crafted the same way after the fact. Do your research and take a closer look at the quality of the stones you have in mind before making any commitments.

Consider Settings

In general, certain stones will typically have a type of cut or setting that they are particularly well suited to and helps them look their best when it comes to sitting right and refracting light for that shimmer everyone loves. Sapphires tend to favour oval settings in particular, which you may want to bear in mind while shopping.

Cleaning

Even though sapphires are incredibly durable, to keep them looking their best, you’ll still want to invest in an upkeep routine that allows them to stay flawless for as long as possible. If your jeweller doesn’t have a dedicated cleaning or insurance plan, you may want to find a resolution for that sooner than later.

Purchase With Paris Today

At Paris Jewellers, we know that jewellery is so much more than just beautiful pieces to be worn. Every engagement ring and gift embodies a unique love story that’s as precious to the couple as the stones they purchase. Our goal is to help you find the right fit that will leave you both with memories that will last for a lifetime. Learn more about our stunning Sapphire engagement ring options by contacting our team today!
