Sapphire at a glance
Sapphire is September’s birthstone and a forever favorite for engagement rings and heirlooms. It’s tough (9 on the Mohs scale), brilliant, and full of character, from deep royal blues to lively “fancy” colors.
The blue everyone loves
Blue sapphires range from inky midnight to vivid cornflower. Look for an even, saturated tone that still shows sparkle. Yellow gold warms the blue; white gold or platinum makes it crisp and modern.
Fancy sapphires (yes, beyond blue!)
We also curate select pink, yellow, green, and parti sapphires (availability varies). Fancy colors bring a playful elegance and make gorgeous right-hand rings or stackable pendants. If you see a shade you love, don’t wait—unique colors go fast.
How to choose
-
Color first: Pick the hue that flatters your skin tone and wardrobe.
-
Cut & shape: Ovals and cushions maximize color; rounds and emerald cuts feel sleek.
-
Clarity: Minor “silk” is common and can create a velvety look, especially in vintage stones.
-
Size & setting: Slim solitaires feel timeless; halos and bezel sets add presence for everyday wear.
-
Good to know: Heat treatment is common for sapphires and helps bring out color—always ask for disclosure.
Style it for Fall 2025
-
Layered luxe: A dainty sapphire pendant + paperclip chain + short choker = instant stack.
-
Mix your metals: Blue sapphire ring in white gold stacked with yellow-gold bands = depth and dimension.
-
Color pops: Pair blue sapphire with garnet or peridot accents for an autumn palette.
Care & cleaning
Soak in warm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently, rinse, and pat dry. Store pieces separately to avoid scratches. Avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat.
