Sapphire engagement rings are the birthstone of September and are believed to possess spiritual qualities of faith and hope. Blue sapphires and rubies, which are from the corundum family of gemstones, are the second hardest precious gemstones with a MOHS hardness scale of 9. Rare colorless sapphires were once used as diamond imitations in sapphire and diamond rings or round diamond engagement rings, historically known as "Sapphire Diamond."
There are several shapes suitable for your custom-made ring, with the most popular being oval cut yellow sapphire engagement rings and blue sapphire rings, both available in white gold, yellow gold, or platinum. An exquisite sapphire ring can be achieved with round brilliant cut diamonds surrounding the cushion cut blue sapphire setting. Optional diamond side stones can be added to provide a perfect mix with this royal blue sapphire and diamond setting. For something entirely different but stunning, consider a Padparadscha, a delicate pink-orange gemstone that is exquisite. This gem will look sensational for that ideal engagement ring design, pear cut and white gold.
