Sapphires / Sapphire Rings

Sapphire is the most practical coloured stone you can put in a ring. At 9 on the Mohs scale it sits directly below diamond, which means it handles the knocks and abrasion that would chip an emerald or scratch an opal. A sapphire ring worn every day for twenty years still looks like a sapphire ring.

Every stone in this collection has been selected by our gemmologist. We tell you the origin and whether the stone has been heated, on every piece.

Beyond blue

Most people picture cornflower blue, and it remains the most requested colour. But sapphire occurs in nearly every colour except red, at which point it is classified as ruby instead.

Teal sits between blue and green and shifts noticeably with the light. It is largely Australian, and it has become one of the most sought-after coloured stones of the past decade. Pink runs from pale to vivid and pairs well with rose gold. Yellow and golden tones range from lemon through to amber. Green is frequently overlooked and correspondingly good value. Violet and purple are uncommon enough to read as a deliberate choice.

What makes one sapphire ring better than another

Colour drives most of the price. Saturation and evenness matter more than any particular hue being correct. A well-saturated teal will often be worth more than a weak blue.

Clarity matters less than it does with diamonds. Sapphire is typically eye-clean at commercial grades, and inclusions that do not affect appearance do not meaningfully affect value.

Cut is where a lot of sapphire is let down, particularly Australian material. Stones cut for weight retention rather than appearance end up too deep and go dark through the centre. We select on cut quality as much as colour.

Heated and unheated

Most sapphires on the market have been heat-treated. It is a stable, permanent process used for centuries and it is not a defect. It improves colour and clarity in material that would otherwise not be saleable.

Unheated stones of equivalent colour are rarer and priced accordingly. We label every stone either way rather than leaving it vague. We do not sell synthetic sapphire or diffusion-treated material.

Settings that last

A ring worn daily needs enough metal in the right places. Bezel settings protect the girdle and edges, which is why they suit an active wearer. Claw settings let more light into the stone. Halo designs add presence without a larger centre stone.

Platinum and 18K gold both hold up structurally. The choice between them is aesthetic. Yellow gold warms a stone, white metals sharpen the contrast, and rose gold suits pink and softer teal tones.

See them in Perth

Sapphire changes more between light sources than almost any other stone. A colour that looks flat under shop lighting can open up completely in daylight, and no photograph conveys that.

Our showroom is at Shop 3, 82 King Street in the Perth CBD. Call 1300 551 562 to arrange a time, including outside trading hours.

If nothing here is right, we also set loose stones into custom designs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sapphire Rings

Yes. At 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire is the hardest gemstone in common jewellery use after diamond. It resists the scratching and abrasion that damage softer stones.

Blue is the most traditional and most requested. Teal, pink and yellow offer strong colour at more accessible prices. It comes down to what you want to look at every day rather than what is technically most valuable.

We stock both, and each stone is labelled. Heat treatment is standard practice across the industry and produces perfectly good stones. Unheated material of equivalent colour is rarer and priced higher.

Australia and Sri Lanka. Australian stones come from the Queensland and New England fields; Ceylon material comes from Sri Lanka. Origin is stated on every stone.

Usually, though it depends on the setting. Eternity bands and rings with stones running around the shank are more limited. Bring the ring in and we will tell you what is possible.

Yes. Most custom work begins with selecting a loose stone, then designing the setting around it. Typically four to eight weeks from design approval.

It depends on the stone's colour, size, treatment status and cut quality, and on the metal. We can work to a budget if you tell us what it is.
