A sapphire ring is always in style

Posted on 1st June 2023 by HLB Team

Sapphires have been associated with romance and also royalty for centuries. The gemstone has exceptional durability, making it a wonderful alternative to a diamond engagement ring.

Discover some of the highlights of our new jewellery collections, including a beautifully unique sapphire ring.

The phenomenon of asterism gemstones

It has been some time since our experts have seen a star sapphire ring as outstanding as this one.

This special ring exhibits a luminous star-like shape known as an asterism. And the combination with a purple sapphire, diamond and 18 carat white gold certainly creates a heady impression.

Asterism in gemstones is caused by tiny needle like inclusions in a regular formation which, when the light catches them, reflect that light onto the surface of the stone.

It is a wonder to behold – and to treasure forever.

Sapphire rings in so many colours

The most famous, and valued, colour of sapphire is blue. But sapphires are actually part of the corundum family of gemstones and come in a rainbow of colours.

Yellow sapphires are gaining in popularity as engagement rings, as are pre-owned diamond rings and vintage sapphire rings.

It’s easy to see why, as this yellow sapphire and diamond cluster ring would make for a romantic and eye-catching proposal.

Sapphires and the Royal connection

This breath-taking solitaire sapphire and diamond ring is reminiscent of other engagement rings in the luxury jewellery scene.

However not many have the same wow factor. This ring was designed and made by H. L. Brown. We are selling it on behalf of the customer who originally purchased it, at a very attractive price. The ring has hardly been worn and is in excellent condition.

Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales wears a 12-carat blue sapphire solitaire surrounded by 14 diamonds.

However, the Royal connection to sapphire dates back centuries and continues to feature in Royal proposals and anniversaries.

Queen Victoria had a love of dazzling gemstones and had several sapphire jewellery pieces, including a sapphire and diamond coronet which survives to this day.
