The Allure of Sapphire Engagement Rings

The sapphire’s deep, velvety range in hues has made it a favorite gemstone for centuries, cherished for both its beauty and symbolism. Representing wisdom, faithfulness, and sincerity, sapphire engagement rings offer a meaningful and stylish way to mark a lifelong commitment. In addition to their emotional resonance, sapphires are also highly durable, second only to diamonds, making them a practical and lasting choice for a ring that will be worn every day.

At Market Square Jewelers, we take pride in selecting sapphires with strong color, exceptional clarity, and thoughtfully designed vintage settings. From deep royal blues to sunny yellow hues, each sapphire in our collection is hand-selected by our owners for its natural beauty and set in vintage mountings that span decades of fine craftsmanship.

The History and Symbolism of Sapphires

Sapphires have long been associated with royalty and romance. Ancient cultures believed sapphires protected their wearers from harm and envy, while in medieval times they were thought to symbolize heavenly blessings and peace. Most famously, sapphires became the stone of modern love with Princess Diana’s iconic engagement ring, solidifying their status as a regal and romantic alternative to diamonds.

Choosing a sapphire engagement ring isn’t just a style choice, it’s a connection to centuries of tradition, symbolism, and enduring beauty.

What to Look for in a Sapphire

At Market Square Jewelers, we carefully evaluate each sapphire for beauty, durability, and character. When selecting your engagement ring, keep the following factors in mind:

1. Color
   The most coveted sapphires have a vivid, saturated blue, sometimes with velvety or royal undertones. We offer a range of natural blue sapphire hues from deep navy to soft cornflower. We also have a vast collection of other colored sapphires. Sapphires come in just about every color, so you can find the perfect tone for your style.

2. Clarity
   While inclusions are common in natural sapphires and often part of their charm, we choose stones that balance clarity and character. Each sapphire is reviewed for quality and visual appeal.

3. Cut
   The cut of a sapphire enhances its color and sparkle. Our collection includes a wide variety of cuts, including oval, round, cushion, emerald, and pear-shaped stones—each adding a different nuance to the ring’s personality.

4. Carat Weight
   From delicate, understated sapphires to bold center stones, our engagement rings are available in a range of sizes to suit your personal taste and lifestyle.

Caring for Your Sapphire Engagement Ring

Sapphires are highly durable and suitable for daily wear, but a little care helps preserve their brilliance for generations. We recommend gentle cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, and have your setting inspected periodically to keep your gemstone secure.

Market Square Jewelers also offers professional cleaning and maintenance to help you keep your ring in pristine condition.
