A sapphire engagement ring pairs a rich, lasting colour with a stone hard enough to wear every day. Choose a natural sapphire from our live stock below, in blue, pink, yellow and more, and we will set it in the ring you choose, handmade to order in platinum or gold in our Cotswolds workshop.

Not Sure Which Sapphire?
Tell us the colour, size and budget you have in mind and we will pick out stones for you, send photos and videos, and show you how each one looks in the setting.
Why Choose a Sapphire?
Sapphire is a variety of corundum, the hardest natural gemstone after diamond at 9 on the Mohs scale, so it stands up to daily wear better than almost any other coloured stone. It is the birthstone for September and has been a favourite for engagement rings for generations.
Choosing the Colour
Blue is the classic. Look for an even, saturated colour that is neither so dark it looks inky nor so pale it looks grey. Pink sapphires look beautiful in rose gold, and yellow sapphires look warm and bright in yellow gold. Colour matters more than size: a smaller stone with a vivid colour usually looks better than a larger, dull one.
Treatments and Certificates
Most sapphires are gently heated to improve their colour and clarity, a stable, accepted treatment that lasts for life. Unheated stones are rarer and cost more. Each stone page shows the treatment, the size in millimetres and, where there is one, the laboratory certificate, so you know exactly what you are buying.
Settings That Suit a Sapphire
A halo of diamonds makes a blue sapphire look larger and brighter, and a three stone ring with a diamond either side is a timeless trilogy. A solitaire lets the colour speak for itself. Because sapphire is so hard, a claw setting is secure for everyday wear.
How It Works
Choose a sapphire above and open its page, then use Add jewellery to pick the setting and metal: the ring page prices your stone in. Your ring is handmade to order in about three to four weeks, hallmarked by the UK Assay Office, and sent with free insured UK delivery and 30 days to return it. Can't see the stone you want?
