Ever since Kate Middleton debuted her gorgeous engagement ring that formerly belonged to Princess Diana, sapphire has once again taken center stage as a gem that is ideal for engagement rings. Another way to incorporate sapphire into a ring is setting them as side stones, instead of the center stone. This pairing brings together the best of both worlds: a touch of color along with the sparkle, romance, and tradition of a diamond.
Diamonds are the hardest gemstone in existence, but sapphires and rubies are a close second! As gemstones go, they are one of the hardiest and therefore very difficult to scratch or fracture. Sapphires have long symbolized royalty, truth, sincerity and nobility with their deep blue color. Sapphires are the stone associated with a couple’s 5th and 45th anniversary, and they are also the birthstone of September.
Simon G. has several wonderful bridal rings featuring blue sapphire. Utilizing a variety of shapes of sapphires, not just the traditional round, enables Simon G. to create unique styles of rings, such as a halo of trapezoid sapphires or half-moon side stones. Sapphire may be a trend on the rise right now, but they make for a timeless engagement ring!
