Engagement Ring with Sapphires and Diamonds

Choosing an engagement ring is a major, life-long decision, and with so many options available, choosing just one ring can be difficult. Engagement rings have traditionally been diamonds, diamonds, but other gemstones have recently gained popularity among the engagement ring community. People nowadays may wear emerald, ruby, or sapphire on their left hand for a splash of color. Princess Kate Middleton, who wears an 18-carat royal blue sapphire that once belonged to Princess Diana, has boosted the popularity of sapphires in particular.

The options between yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum seems limitless, but when you add the option of sapphire or diamond, the possibilities multiply exponentially. While there are numerous engagement ring options, there is no such thing as a “right” or “wrong” ring. Each engagement ring style is solely determined by the preferences of the couple who will be wearing it. The differences between sapphire and diamond are minor but significant. Choosing between these two stones can drastically alter the engagement ring. Although sapphires are not as famous as diamonds, they have become a more common engagement ring stone. Sapphires, after all, can add that “something blue” to any wedding. Sapphires are also becoming increasingly popular due to their legends. Sapphires were thought to have medicinal and protective properties in ancient times, and they were also thought to symbolize honesty and wisdom in medieval times. Because of its royal blue color and lucky powers, sapphire was a popular gemstone for royalty. On the other hand, a sapphire engagement ring is prized today for its rich color and durability.

Clarity

It’s scarce to come across sapphires utterly free of inclusions or flaws, and Gemologists will suspect the sapphire is fake or treated if there are no inclusions. As we explained in our article about rubies, all sapphires will have to retile needles or “silk,” as we explained in our article about rubies.

Heat treatment has improved the clarity and color of most sapphires on the market today. (. can sell them for a lot of money if they haven’t been treated.)

Whereas gemologists use 10 x magnifications to inspect the inclusions in diamonds, we are only concerned with non-magnified careful examination of colored gemstones.

Another way, we’re looking to see if the stone is “eye-clean.” The more polished the stone is, the more expensive it is.

Inclusions In Sapphire

While inclusions are generally not thought to be a good thing, in the case of asterism, the opposite is true. When light reflects off the silk, it creates a star effect, giving the sapphire the appearance of a three or six-point star on its face.

Asterism is uncommon, which adds to the stone’s value. The Black Star of Queensland, weighing in at 733 carats, is said to be the world’s largest mined star sapphire.

Cut

In contrast to diamonds, sapphires do not have standardized cuts. Unlike diamonds, where you can select an “ideal” cut to highlight the diamond’s color and fire, sapphires — and most colored gemstones — rely on the gem cutter to maximize each sapphire’s unique combination of color, clarity, and brilliance. A well-cut sapphire will generally be symmetrical and reflect light at the proper angles to enhance the stone’s luster. When the sapphire’s tone is light, gem cutters are more likely to cut deeply.

The stone appears to be a deeper, darker color due to this. In the opposite case, if the sapphire is very dark, the gem cutter may opt for a shallow cut to allow more light in and thus lighten the stone’s overall appearance.

Shapes

Oval, round, cushion, and emerald are the most common sapphire shapes. As a non-faceted, polished alternative, the cabochon cut is popular. This shape presents the sapphire as a smooth oval convex dome and is the best way to display the asterism of a star sapphire.

Carat

In the same way that gemstones differ in color and hardness, they also differ in density. When we compare the carat weight of sapphire to the carat weight of a diamond, this becomes clear.

A one-carat sapphire will appear smaller than a diamond because sapphires are typically heavier. It is more precise to measure the sapphire’s size in millimeters. A one-carat sapphire usually measures 6 mm as a rule of thumb.

Price

The cost of sapphire varies greatly depending on a variety of factors. Sapphires range in price from $25 per carat to more than $11,000 per carat. Depending on the quality, a 1-carat blue sapphire could cost anywhere between $450 and $1,600.

The 4 C’s listed above and the region from which the stone is mined have a significant impact on the price of the stone. The most critical factor in determining price is color, and Sapphires with a powerful deep blue hue are the most valuable.

Natural sapphires are rarer and sought-after than lab-created sapphires, so lab-created sapphires are almost always less expensive per carat.

In India’s Himalayan region, Sapphires from Kashmir are especially prized and thus have a higher value than other sapphires. They originate from the Himalayan Zaskar range mines, which are notoriously difficult to reach. Sapphires from Ceylon and Burma resemble Kashmir sapphires in appearance, but they are not of the same quality.

Pure blue sapphires are the most valuable and, therefore, the most expensive sapphires in terms of color. This is one of the characteristics of Kashmir sapphires, which are described as having a “blue velvet” appearance.
