Sapphire engagement
rings, as well as engagement rings made with other gemstones, are becoming
more popular than ever before. The traditional diamond
engagement ring still rules the proverbial roost, but other gems are also gaining in
popularity. Sapphire engagement rings are seeing a significant rise
in purchase as are diamond and sapphire engagement rings, and engagement
rings sporting rubies, amethysts, aquamarines, and other stones either
set alone or in addition to diamonds.
Engagement rings with sapphires and diamonds are particularly attractive
as the white diamonds and the blue of the sapphire have a natural balance
together. The same can be said of the contrast between rubies and diamonds.
Other stones that complement diamonds include onyx and opal. Fancy
colored diamonds can mix well with other gemstones as well. Any combination
of these gemstones will look beautiful on your hand.
Diamond and Sapphire Engagement Ring In Platinum
Sapphires and diamonds together always look beautiful, but a sapphire
or tanzanite stone mounted on a white gold or platinum ring is particularly
attractive. Platinum rings are popular due to the value of the material,
of course, but also because diamonds, sapphires, onyx, and even opals
look absolutely stunning when set in platinum rings. A princess
cut diamond and sapphire engagement rings set in platinum can
be one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry you can hope to see.
Opening the Doors for Other Gemstones
With the popularity of the diamond and sapphire engagement ring, the
overall rules for engagement rings have changed. It no longer has to
be a diamond ring. In addition to sapphires, emerald engagement rings
are not uncommon and moissanite, a diamond substitute, is gaining popularity
not just as a lower cost alternative to diamonds, but as a gem itself.
Traditional diamond engagement rings are not going away any time soon,
but the changes in acceptability have simply afforded more options
to the young couple that may be looking to create
their own traditions.
For those that want to be a little different there are now perfectly
acceptable choices in ruby, emerald, aquamarine, and, of course, sapphire
engagement rings.
