Sapphire Engagement Rings FAQs
Common questions about buying, wearing, and caring for sapphire engagement rings.
Sapphire is a popular choice for an engagement ring because it is hard enough for daily wear and offers a wide range of colours, from classic blue sapphire engagement rings to pink, green and teal tones. A well-made sapphire diamond engagement ring will stand up well to everyday use if it is set and cared for properly.
The cost of a sapphire engagement ring in the UK can range from hundreds of pounds for simpler designs to many thousands for fine natural stones or antique sapphire and diamond engagement rings. Colour, clarity, size, origin and the quality of the sapphire and diamond ring setting all influence price, so it is sensible to set a budget and compare a few examples in person.
Sapphires have long been associated with loyalty, sincerity and wisdom, which makes a sapphire proposal ring a thoughtful alternative to a classic diamond solitaire. Many couples choose a diamond and sapphire engagement ring to reflect individuality while keeping a traditional feel.
Exceptional sapphires can command very high prices, but in general diamonds remain more expensive per carat at comparable quality. A sapphire diamond ring can therefore sometimes offer a larger centre stone for the same budget as a smaller diamond-only engagement ring.
Around $20,000 (roughly in the region of £15,000–£20,000 depending on exchange rates) could buy anything from a modest diamond ring with exceptional quality to a larger sapphire and diamond ring where more of the budget goes into the coloured stone. Size varies greatly based on stone type, cut and quality, so carat weight alone is not a full guide.
Fine, vividly saturated padparadscha sapphires in delicate pink‑orange tones are among the rarest and most sought after. For blue sapphire engagement rings, highly saturated medium to medium‑dark blues with good clarity are prized, while teal sapphire engagement rings and yellow sapphire engagement ring styles have become more popular in recent years.

When viewing antique sapphire and diamond ring examples, it is sensible to ask about condition, previous repairs and how best to insure the ring.
Solitaires, halos, three‑stone designs and sapphire and diamond wedding ring sets are all popular. Simpler gold and sapphire engagement ring styles tend to sit at the lower end of the price range, while intricate antique diamond ring with sapphires settings or large centre stones are usually higher.

Many sapphires are routinely heat‑treated to improve colour and clarity, and this does not usually reduce durability in normal wear. More invasive surface treatments can require extra care, so it is important that any sapphire engagement rings you consider are sold with clear disclosure.
