My 5 Reasons For The Buying Of Sapphire Engagement Rings

By John S Stewart


Introduction To Sapphire

Engagement Rings can be found set with any gemstone of your choice, but historically the favourites have been Sapphire Engagement Rings, and rings consisting of Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds and more commonly these days tanzanite.

The most diverse of the properties that relate to sapphire is that of colour, because it is to be found in just about any colour and shade, except that of red. It will be found in all shapes, sizes and of vastly differing qualities of clarity.

Most commonly they are to be found present in these rings in unison with the diamond gemstone, to which they make an excellent partnership.

Five Reasons For Choosing These Stones

1. History

through time, this gemstone has been thought to provide strong support and assistance against, cancer, inflammation, burns, and any evil thought processes. Helps the hard of hearing, and provides ample hope, truth, joy and wisdom, to all who wear it. It was said to be the gemstone of the heavens.

2. Tradition Of Sapphire

From way back in history when King Solomon used it as his Royal seal, and early Popes suggested that their Bishops wore it as a indication of their rank, right through to recent past when Prince Charles famously presented Lady Diana with her beautiful cluster.

3. Sapphire Colour

All the pretty colours possible except that of red, can be found in the sapphire line for you to choose from. Most commonly sought after and used are that of the blue colours, from light to nearly black blue hues. They are known for instance as Ceylon, Cornflower and Australian. Other colours used for these rings quite frequently are that of yellow, orange, green, purple and pink, as well as Padparadscha (a mixture of pink/orange).

4. Hardness

Sapphire is a excellent companion when set with diamonds because it is the second hardest on the Mohs scale, behind only that of diamond. Together they provide a ring that will give confidence in wearing, due to its abrasion resistance and resilient properties for everyday usage.

5. The Birthstone Sapphire

If your engagement ring contains sapphire, and you were either born in September or symbolically linked to the Zodiac sign of Cancer, then the unison of sapphire means you will be offered greater loyal luck and protection from evil.

My Conclusion

It remains the worlds number one selling gemstone, and although like for like not as expensive as the ruby, its cost can be higher than that of some diamonds.

Although just like all other gemstones and jewellery, sapphire will attract dust and dirt, but this is easily removed and your cherished Sapphire Engagement Rings can be made to look brand new again, just by cleaning with a little mild soapy warm water, with a soft toothbrush.

Your choice of colour, whether being the Dark Blue/Black variations known as Australian, or the lighter blues and mid blues of Ceylon and Cornflower, that demands much higher prices, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, select the Sapphire Jewellery what you want, not what anybody else wants. And enjoy!
