So let us get down to it. To start us off what is a blue sapphire? Where do these unique stones come from and what can you expect to see when you find them in jewelry? In other words what is the low down on this stunning precious gemstone. 

Blue sapphire – the story of a stone

First off it is important to note that while blue sapphires are some of the most well known blue gem stones in the world they are not the only ones. These gems are incredibly hard and actually has a range of color. From the light sky blue that might make you think of aqua to the deep dark ocean blue that most of us are used to. These stones are rare and extremely durable due to their hard nature. The two factors that make it one of the most precious gems available and demanded on the market today. 

In general these stones tend to come from the Eastern hemisphere. Specifically one country in Asia produces a majority of the sapphire stones in the world. And that is Sri Lanka. Known for their high quality and color grading of sapphires. The color of the sapphire when it is close to thermal heat makes it that deep royal blue. This effect can also be achieved through heating or irradiating of the stone. Even though this is generally done in a lab it does not affect the quality of the stone. Although it absolutely does affect the price. That is because the naturally deep dark blue sapphires are rare. 

The color blue is also uniquely important to sapphire wedding rings. “Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe”. The symbolism of the blue sapphire is along the lines of bringing happiness and prosperity. They are thought to be good luck charms for the couple. It is all about the something blue standing for purity, love and fidelity for their married life. 

Also it is one of September’s birthstones.  Sapphires are exceptionally special for women born in that month since it can bring your something blue and birth stone.

Blue sapphire ring – the different cuts and styles

When it comes to a blue sapphire ring there are oh so many options. Whether it is the unique cut of the stone in the ring. Or otherwise the mixes and combinations that are possible you can have a blue sapphire engagement ring or wedding ring in a variety of different styles. Firstly of course you have the most common of the diamond and precious gemstone cuts. These can be done for almost any of the traditional diamond and gemstone cuts. 

However for a truly stunning look you can have blue sapphire stones integrated into modern designs and looks. As well as some overly traditional cabochon cuts. We will go into more detail about these further on but it is important to note all of the different options that you have available to you with sapphire stones.

Cabochon cut 

This is one of the most classical gemstone cuts in the world. A vintage oval dome shape it highlights the hardness of the sapphire stone. The cabochon cut is the absolute oldest and most traditional gem stone cut of all of the different styles. It is a round and domed style of cut that emphasizes and highlights the stone’s dark blue color. Like a dome that sits atop your finger the cabochon cut is not like most gemstone cuts that highlight the clarity or sparkle of stones. Rather the cabochon is more about the ‘star’ sparkle that certain sapphires have. Further the unique shape is so vintage it is actually one of the first forms of gemstone cutting and polishing that there ever was.

The rounded cut of the stone has smooth edges and the nature of it gives this cut a very natural and organic smooth feel. Further, it emphasizes this specific sapphire stone’s vintage design style. Most of the rings or jewelry featuring cabochon cut stones have diamonds as well. Pairing a traditional cut with a gorgeous diamond halo adds sparkle and shine to a gemstone that might otherwise not stand out as much as say their white diamond counterpart.

Generally in more modern styles of ring these can take the for of fine jewelry for evening or every day wear. We have some that are large statement rings.
