Gorgeous Sapphire Engagement Rings 

Ever since Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton with an heirloom engagement ring, a beautiful 12-carat oval blue sapphire surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds, the demand for the blue sapphire engagement rings quickly grew.  

Sapphire is the colourful stone fit for the modern-day duchess. The rich, blue gem is extremely durable, rare, and unique. It’s a favourite among royalties and it’s worth getting to know.  

If you’re looking for blue sapphire engagement rings, here are a few fun facts: 

• Sapphire is considered as one of the “Big Four” of precious jewels, alongside ruby, emerald, and diamond.  
• It’s extremely durable stone. In terms of hardness, it scores nine on the Moh’s scale. Diamonds are 10.  
• In ancient cultures, sapphire stones were thought to have protection and medicinal powers. They became a gem of choice of medieval royalty and clergy. Kings wore them when they signed treaties as a lucky charm.  
• Sapphires are a traditional gift for a 45th wedding anniversary.  
• It’s the engagement ring of choice of the British Royal family.  

• Majority of the world’s sapphires come from Australia and Sri Lanka.  
• Sapphires occur in a rainbow of hues, but deep blues are the priciest and rarest.
