Not for nothing did Duchess Kate get it as an engagement ring. If you want to see your sweetheart shine in ducal grace at the big proposal, then a sapphire ring is guaranteed to be the right choice.
A gemstone with history
Sapphires have been mentioned in the Bible and also appear in mythology. It is not uncommon for them to be an image of tranquility, purity and peace there. They have been found and mined in India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Madagascar or even Thailand. Some of these sites have been depleted for a long time. Today, both India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand are the main suppliers of high quality sapphires. Sapphire jewelry, which includes sapphire rings, has been popularly worn by nobles and monarchs for many centuries, and in some cases has been passed down from generation to generation.
Properties of the sapphire
Sapphires are among the hardest stones. And as resistant as they are, as enchanting is their appearance, which predestines them for engagement rings and wedding rings. When people hear the name "sapphire", they always assume that it is a blue sapphire. Stones of a different color of the same type are named with the respective color, for example green or yellow, in front of the name. However, it is most common to find sapphire rings with a blue stone. The shades of blue differ depending on where they are found. This has something to do with the fact that the rock in which the gemstones are formed varies from place to place. The most popular, and also the most valuable, are the sapphires from Kashmir, India. The deep, velvety blue of these stones is known as "royal blue".
Sapphires with few inclusions are the most desirable and also the most valuable. However, with the right cutting technique, each gemstone becomes a unique stone with character despite the natural inclusions.
Engagement rings for every taste and skin type
The noble blue matches different ring settings and always looks a little different. A silver setting really highlights the blue colour and looks elegant at the same time. A silver engagement ring or wedding ring with sapphire is particularly flattering for fair skin types. In a gold setting, the stone looks gorgeous and is perfect for a darker skin tone.
