Brilliant Five Excuses For Sapphire Engagement Rings

By John S Stewart


Sapphire Introduction

Any of your favourite gems can be employed in the use of Engagement Rings, but one of the most obvious and fitting is that of the Sapphire Engagement Ring, followed by such as rings made up from stones of emerald, ruby, tanzanite and most obviously diamonds.

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.

These stones are rarely found set on their own for this use, and are most often found set next to that of diamond gemstones to which they offer a congenial partnership.

Five Reasons For Choosing These Stones

1. Sapphire 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. Sapphire Tradition

Many centuries past, the Popes of those times demanded that their Bishops wore a band of sapphire to advance their potential. King Solomon had an model that he used to seal his personal correspondence. Prince Charles presented his Lady Diana with a beautiful cluster not that long ago.

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. Birthstone

If you are born in September or your Zodiac sign is that of Cancer, then your symbolic link to the sapphire, means that if you wear this gem in your engagement ring you will be offered additional protection and respectful luck by doing so.

To Conclude

Sapphire are not usually as expensive as comparable rubies, but they can be when compared to some diamonds, and even so they are still the Worlds number one selling gemstone today.

Although all gemstones and jewellery will get dirty over time, it is no difficult task to promote your Sapphire Engagement Rings back to looking as new again. Just use a soft toothbrush with soapy and warm water to ensure excellent results.

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!
