Why Sapphire Engagement Rings Are Becoming So Popular

Sapphire engagement rings have grown significantly in popularity over the past decade. Many couples are now choosing sapphires for their color, individuality, and symbolism (loyalty, wisdom and calmness).

One of the most popular colors today are different shades of teal. It’s a mix of blue green with pastel.

Sometimes we want to bring joyful memories of our fun vacation back home with us. Colorful sapphires give us the best options to create sunsets of Hawaii or viridian deep bluish - green colors of Caribbean. Many of our clients asked to create a wedding band or an anniversary ring that was a reminder of the sea-foam teal blue green color of their honeymoon vacation or some other romantic getaway. Whether it is light tropical tones of the Maldives or cobalt blue flowing to vibrant turquoise mixed with greenish-blues of Cancun shores we can create it for you.

One of the most appealing features of sapphires is their color variety. Although deep blue is the most famous, sapphires can also appear in teal, pink, yellow, and even multi-colored tones. These variations allow couples to choose a gemstone that reflects their personal style.

Sapphires are part of the corundum mineral family and rank 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them extremely durable for everyday wear. This durability is one reason they are widely used in engagement rings, as explained by the International Gem Society (https://www.gemsociety.org).

Because of their durability and color diversity, sapphire rings provide a distinctive alternative to traditional diamond engagement rings. Irina loves to combine sapphires with diamonds to enhance brilliance while preserving the unique appearance of the central gemstone.
