Sapphire Jewelry

Yes. Sapphire rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond at 10 among the stones we sell, so it resists the scratches that dull softer gems over time. That makes it a sound choice for rings, which take the most knocks, as well as earrings and necklaces worn daily. Hard is not the same as indestructible, though. A sharp blow can still chip a stone, and prongs can loosen with years of wear. Take rings off for the gym, gardening and heavy lifting, and store sapphire pieces apart from other jewelry so they do not scratch softer stones or metal. Warm water, mild soap and a soft brush keep them bright.

A natural sapphire formed in the earth and was mined; a lab-grown sapphire was grown in a laboratory. Both appear in this collection, and the difference is never hidden. Every product page labels the sapphire as natural or lab-grown, and many product titles say so as well, such as a natural blue sapphire stud or a lab-grown blue sapphire drop earring. Read the stone details before you buy if origin matters to you. Both are priced all-in and both are sold to the published specification shown on the product page. If you have a question about a particular stone, the concierge team at concierge@diamondandsapphire.com can help before you order.

Natural sapphires are commonly heat-treated. It is a standard practice across the trade, and it is stable: the result does not fade, and the stone needs no special care because of it. You can clean a heated sapphire the same way as any other, with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Lab-grown sapphires are grown in a laboratory rather than mined, and they are labeled as lab-grown on the product page. If you want to know more about a specific natural stone before buying, write to concierge@diamondandsapphire.com. Our catalog pieces are sold to a published specification, so the product page is the place to check stone size and details.

Blue is the heart of the collection, from small accents and stud earrings to oval halo rings and engagement ring centers. Pink sapphire has its own page of pink sapphire rings, and white sapphire, a colorless stone, appears in our white sapphire earrings and alongside blue and other stones in a few designs, such as evil eye necklaces. Green sapphire appears as an engagement ring center. Every stone is labeled natural or lab-grown on its product page. If you are matching a particular shade of blue, look closely at the product images and description, and ask the concierge team about any piece you would like to know more about.

Choose by purpose. Our sapphire engagement rings are built around a single center sapphire in settings such as vintage scroll halos and classic halos, with all-in pricing that includes the center stone and the accent stones. Our sapphire rings are fashion and everyday designs: oval halo rings, three-stone rings and other styles meant for everyday wear. Both are made to your ring size when you order, and both are labeled natural or lab-grown. If you are proposing, start with the engagement rings. For a birthday, an anniversary or a ring for yourself, the wider ring collection gives more range.

White gold and platinum give blue sapphire a cool, bright frame and keep the blue reading clean, especially in halo designs. Yellow gold warms the setting and makes the blue look deeper by contrast; it suits vintage-inspired and evil eye styles. Rose gold pairs especially well with pink sapphire. Across this collection you can choose 14K or 18K white, yellow or rose gold, or platinum, and a few designs come in 10K white gold. Metal options vary by piece, so check the product page. If you already wear one metal every day, matching it is the simplest way to choose.

Sapphire is the September birthstone, so a sapphire piece is a natural birthday gift for anyone born that month, and a blue stone suits almost any wardrobe. For a gift where size is uncertain, earrings and necklaces are the easier choice. Necklaces list their chain length on each piece, and earring backs and closures vary by design, shown on the product page. Rings are made to your ring size, so you will need the size before ordering; our sizing guide helps. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery when a piece is unworn and in original condition. Engraved and custom pieces are final sale.

Sapphire jewelry in this collection starts from $189. Every price is complete and all-in: it includes the sapphire and any accent diamonds, with nothing added at checkout for the stones. Price rises with stone size, the number and weight of accent diamonds, the setting and the metal you select. Smaller pieces, such as studs and petite pendants, generally cost less than halo rings and engagement rings, which carry more stones and more metal. Shipping is complimentary, by fully insured UPS Express with a signature required. If you have a budget in mind, our concierge team can point you toward pieces that fit it.

Most pieces are made to order and ship in about 5 to 10 business days. Pieces marked ready to ship leave in 2 to 3 business days. Each product page shows its own timing, so check before you order if you are buying for a date. Delivery is complimentary, fully insured UPS Express, and a signature is required, so send it to an address where someone can sign. Rings are made to the size you choose at checkout, which is one reason timing is listed per piece. If you need something by a specific day, write to concierge@diamondandsapphire.com before ordering and the team can advise on what is realistic.
