What to look for in a blue sapphire engagement rings
Blue sapphire ranges from a soft cornflower blue to a deep, velvety royal blue. It’s this same depth of colour we look for in every stone set into our engagement rings, and no two sapphires we choose are ever quite the same. With a Mohs hardness of 9, blue sapphire is second only to diamond in durability, making it a strong choice for a ring worn every day. Unlike some gemstones, its colour doesn’t fade or change with time, so the ring looks the same years from now as it does today. Our team hand-selects each stone for its balanced tone, avoiding anything too flat or too dark, and every sapphire is checked for colour zoning, brilliance and transparency before it’s set into one of our rings.
Choosing a Setting for Your Blue Sapphire
Our blue sapphire engagement rings come in a range of styles, from solitaire and halo to trilogy, cluster and five-stone designs. Lighter tones tend to sparkle more and suit a solitaire or halo setting, where there’s nothing to compete with the stone. Deeper, richer blues hold their colour even in low light, and look striking surrounded by diamonds in a trilogy or cluster design. You’ll find oval, cushion, round, pear and Asscher-cut sapphires, set in platinum or white gold, in both natural and lab-grown options. Whichever style you choose, our team sets each stone to bring out its truest shade of blue, from bright royal tones to deeper, near-midnight hues, in a ring made to hold up well to everyday wear.
