Anouk Jewelry loves creating alternative engagement rings with sapphires. They are well suited to everyday wear because of their hardness. Sapphires also come in a wide variety of vibrant colours, making it a very versatile gemstone for non-traditional ring designs. We adore creating artisanal blue sapphire rings, as well as textured gold designs with teal, green and peach sapphires as well!
September – the Month of Royal Blue Sapphires
This month we invite you to join us in celebrating the birthstone of September – the noble sapphire! And it so happens, that blue is the most popular colour of sapphires. Since the ancient times, they continue to be the best known and sought after coloured gemstone. Throughout history, countless rulers have collected this magical gemstone. More rare than diamonds, sapphires are even more unique and in demand! Feast your eyes on one of our artisanal blue sapphire rings – our custom Empress Shield ring design featuring round, pear and oval royal blue sapphires.
Endless Versatility of Sapphires
Moreover, from pale baby blue to deep velvety, the variety of blue hues is absolutely legendary! Having said that, the Royal Blue sapphires stand out as they are just, well, majestic! And you don’t need to be Catherine, Princess of Wales to enjoy an artisanal, blue sapphire ring!
Part of our Golden Leaves collection, the highly customizable Spring Leaves solitaire in hammered yellow gold features a deeply vibrant blue sapphire. (Check out the same ring design with a green sapphire here!)
Blue Sapphire Symbolism
Blue sapphires are symbols of love, loyalty, wisdom, and power. No wonder they have been the favourite choice of gemstone for engagement rings for generations! Before marketing push for diamonds, sapphires were the undisputed stars of the wedding industry. Luckily the sapphires – especially the royal blue sapphires – have been making a very welcome comeback in the 21st century.
The non-traditional engagement ring below features a royal blue pear shaped sapphire, surrounded by a halo of accent diamonds. The hammered white gold offsets the richly luminous blue sapphire. The depth of the richly blue sapphire calls to be worshipped. This design is currently available and will make a truly unique engagement ring for a special person!
Endlessly individual, blue sapphires may have yellow, green or violet – purple undertones. Viewed in one direction, some blue sapphires appear blue to violet-blue; from another direction, they will look slightly greenish blue. Cornflower blue is another variation of the blue sapphires. Those gemstones look stunning when we pair them with warm yellow gold. See for yourself in this vintage-style Rosetta: the artisanal royal blue sapphire ring. The central blue sapphire sits in a halo of accent diamonds.
Just as Gorgeous as a Necklace
Whether as an artisanal engagement ring, or a unique necklace for a special occasion – blue sapphires are a beautiful choice for a personalized piece of jewelry. And luckily, you don’t have to be getting married to enjoy some blue sapphire magic. Our earrings and necklaces are a great option to introduce the royal blue sapphires into your life! Do you prefer pairing the gemstone with yellow, or white gold?
