When it comes time to celebrate love, many Australian couples are turning away from traditional options and going for something slightly different. A Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring is a stunning alternative to a diamond that is also incredibly wearable. The sapphire affords such a deep & rich colour, and has such timeless beauty and significance, as well as being a sturdy stone that they will wear everyday. 

The Beauty of Blue Sapphires

Sapphires have been loved and treasured on a worldwide stage for many years, particularly their appealing blue colours, with a broad spectrum of shades from bright cornflower to dark midnight hues. A Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring instantly provides recognition as an original display of fashion. Although diamonds are a ‘safer’ option for the traditional engagement rings, sapphires present an engagement ring option that steers away from the traditional and ubiquitous engagement ring.

Sapphires are one of the hardest gemstones, therefore are incredibly tough and durable, therefore are perfect for rings that are worn daily. When a Blue Sapphire is coupled with gold, the Blue Sapphire ring gold forms an excellent piece of Jewellery that is strong enough to last a lifetime.

A Gemstone with Meaning

Across time, sapphires have symbolized faithfulness, trust, and wisdom – all important characteristics of a good long-lasting relationship. To wear a Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring is not just a statement of your sense of style, but a statement of commitment and integrity. This emotional symbolism has an obvious direct relation to sapphires as engagement jewelry. Making even more special, a beautiful sapphire engagement ring is special in symbolic meaning.

Versatility in Design

Sapphires are also popular due to their versatility. A sapphire can be set into a number of styles, whether that is a simple solitaire, where the sapphire is meant to stand alone, or a vintage-style with a specific style. A blue sapphire ring gold is timeless; both the depth of the sapphire color and the warmth of gold produce harmony.

Even for couples looking for an updated aesthetic, sapphires work well in a white gold or platinum setting; the contrast provides a demo of the gem’s dazzling color while delivering an overall elegant, modern and luxurious ring design.

Why Choose Sapphires Over Diamonds?

Although diamonds are still the top choice, we are seeing a number of Australians opting for sapphires as their bright and distinct alternative. A Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring can not only provide a loud pop of colour, but is often cheaper than a larger diamond of the same size or quality. This allows couples to generally buy a larger or more spectacular stone without breaking the bank.  

Ethical sourcing is another big consideration, as awareness around the origin of gemstones grows, sapphires allow you to make an ethical choice. There are now a significant number of couples choosing a Sapphire Ring Australia, as it supports the local mining industry and is a stone with known and traceable origin.

The Prestige of Australian Sapphires

Australia is among the best sapphire deposits in the world, specifically in Queensland and New South Wales where they are known for their rich colour in the unique blue-green spectrum. Sapphires from Australia have a different status than sapphires from the rest of the world. A Sapphire Ring Australia is not just a piece of Jewellery, but a piece of Australia, to wear with admiration and pride. 

Australian sapphires are becoming increasingly common for partners looking for something real with engaged quality, and for their beauty and durability as much as for their ethically sourced and quality stones. When selecting a Sapphire Ring Australia, you are selecting the brightest gemstones that are ensconced in the cultural and natural history of Australia.

Caring for Your Sapphire

Though durable, sapphires still require some care. To keep a Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring as bright as possible, it is best to clean any ring often with warm water and a mild soap with a soft brush. Rings should be stored separately in a lined box or cloth so they don’t scratch each other. A periodic trip to a professional jeweler for a periodic inspection is a good idea to keep the stone secure in the setting. 

For items like a Blue Sapphire Ring Gold that involve a jeweler polishing either or both the gemstone and band, it will be the best way to ensure both the stone or metal will be maintained, and so the ring cannot just shine today, but shine for decades.
