5 Reasons to Choose a Sapphire for Your Engagement Ring

2 Minute Read

At TINK Jewellery, we love sapphires for their standout qualities. Here’s why these gemstones are a great choice for engagement and fine jewellery:

01 / Unique Character

Each sapphire is one-of-a-kind, with its own distinct shade, clarity, and cut. Even similar-looking sapphires have subtle differences that make each one special. Choosing a sapphire means your ring will be unique, just like you (your loved one) ;)

02 / Exceptional Durability

Sapphires are highly durable, just slightly below diamonds on the Mohs scale. They can handle everyday wear with ease and endure heat during repairs, so you won’t need to remove them from their settings for maintenance like retipping. This makes sapphires a practical and resilient choice for an engagement ring that can withstand the rigours of daily life.

03 / Stunning Colours

While the classic royal blue sapphire is popular, sapphires come in a wide range of colours. From vibrant greens and soft pinks to bright turquoises and clear whites, the options are diverse. Australian parti sapphires are especially known for their rich greens, warm yellows, and unique blends. This variety lets you choose a sapphire that fits your style or has special meaning.

04 / Ethical Considerations

Many sapphires are sourced with ethical practices, and you can often find local options that support Australian businesses and gemstone cutters. Choosing a sapphire means your ring is both beautiful and aligned with your values.

05 / Cost-Effective

Sapphires offer a high-quality look at a more affordable price than diamonds. They provide the same beautiful appearance and durability without breaking the bank.

Choosing a sapphire for your engagement or fine jewellery means picking a gemstone that stands out for its unique character, durability, and ethical sourcing. At TINK Jewellery, we’re dedicated to sourcing locally mined sapphires and supporting Australian businesses. Get in touch with us to find your perfect sapphire and create a piece that’s truly special.
