If you’re looking for a stone that is vibrant, timeless, and elegant, sapphire engagement rings are perfect. Although this stone is traditionally a deep shade of blue, there are also other colour variants. These include peach and pink sapphires as well as yellow sapphires. The classic blue sapphire works very well when paired with diamonds. This makes it a stunning choice of stone to include in engagement rings, whatever the style.

Three stone rings remain a popular choice, for many reasons. They are deeply symbolic and romantic. Each stone represents a stage in your journey together as a couple. The centre stone represents your present life, while the other two represent your past and your future.
Pink Halo

As we mentioned above, sapphires come in a range of colours besides blue. Pink sapphires are not very common. They are exquisite, with a variation of pink shades ranging from deep pink all the way to lighter, peachy shades of pink.
Yellow Trinity

Yellow sapphires are ideal for those who want something a little different. These stones also come in a variety of shades. Softer shades of light yellow work very well in yellow gold bands while brighter shades work well in cool-toned metal bands.
Round Twist

The open twist ring is always a classic choice. In this design, a simple round cut sapphire is highlighted in the centre, with a twisted band that delicately wraps around the stone.
Pave Pear

This sapphire has a lighter colour. In an elegant pear-cut, it features a pave band and a simple setting. The great thing about pear stones is that the rings can be worn with the point facing up or down. This helps to get a flattering fit that suits your finger length.
Rose Gold

The combination of deep blue sapphire and rose gold is subtle yet enchanting. It is unusual enough to stand out, without being too flashy or over the top. A delicate band along with a small solitaire adds even more beauty to this understated ring.
Pave Twist

If it’s something more dramatic you’re after, this ring is sure to stand out. It features a twisted band and a pear-cut centre sapphire. Unlike conventional twisted bands, the pave band tapers into an inverted V shape that perfectly fits the tapered point of the pear-cut stone.
Yellow Gold

Sapphires can work well in yellow gold, too. When pairing this stone and metal, it’s best to stick to a relatively simple design. In this ring, a square cut sapphire is surrounded by tiny pave diamonds. The ring is minimal yet striking.
