It is hard to believe that the ugly and unassuming stone in the main image can be turned into a stunning gemstone that makes for Stunning White Sapphire Engagement Rings!  There are only a few diamond simulants when it comes to engagement rings.  They are moissanite, white Sapphire, cz, and zircon.  Any of the renderings you see on our website that have a white stone in them, can be any of these stones.  So, don’t assume everything is diamond. Now if you are talking about alternate center stone options, that is a whole other post.  In this one, we will focus on white (colorless) sapphire.

6 Prong Engagement Ring

This is one of our Sculptural Engagement Ring designs that we love.  The center stone is secured by 6 prongs that are accented with 1mm stones.  If you don’t like 6 prongs, or don’t want the accents on the prongs, we can change that.  The shank is an alternation of diamond accents and knife edged milgrain. If you wanted more stones, we could probably add 2-4 more.  We could also remove stones.

What Color IS A Sapphire?

Ask 100 people what color a sapphire is and 99 of them, maybe 100, will say blue.  However, brown is by far the most common color of sapphire.  They also come many other colors such as green, pink, yellow, and even green.  Sapphires are a type of corundum.  So are rubies.  If a corundum is red, it is a ruby.  Everything else is a sapphire.  Corundum is an exceptionally hard and tough material. It is the third-hardest mineral, after diamond and moissanite, scoring a nine on the mohs hardness scale.

Why White Sapphire Engagement Rings Are Popular

White sapphire engagement rings have gained immense popularity in recent years. And it’s not hard to see why. These stunning gemstones offer a unique and affordable alternative to traditional diamond rings. With their dazzling brilliance and durability, white sapphires are the perfect choice for couples looking to make a statement without breaking the bank.

One of the main reasons why white sapphire engagement rings are so popular is their affordability. Compared to diamonds, white sapphires are significantly less expensive, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious couples. But don’t let the lower price tag fool you – white sapphires are just as beautiful and sparkly as their diamond counterparts. In fact, their brilliance and clarity can rival that of a diamond, giving them a truly luxurious look.

White Sapphires Are Versatile

Another reason behind the popularity of white sapphire engagement rings is their versatility. These gemstones come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing couples to find the perfect ring that suits their personal style and preferences. Whether you prefer a classic solitaire setting or a more intricate design with side stones, white sapphires can be easily incorporated into any ring style. Plus, their neutral white color complements any metal, whether it’s platinum, white gold, or yellow gold.

And with their affordability and versatility, white sapphires offer endless possibilities for creating a one-of-a-kind engagement ring that truly reflects the couple’s love and commitment.

White Is The Rarest Sapphire Color

Corundum receives its color from the trace elements present where the crystal is forming. White sapphires are quite rare.  They are completely untouched by trace elements. White sapphires make excellent alternatives to diamonds for engagement rings as they are less expensive and very durable.  They also don’t show the fire and dispersion that a diamond or moissanite will.  They must be very well cut to get the maximum amount of sparkle out of them.  However, to many, sparkle isn’t the goal when decide they want White Sapphire Engagement Rings.  It is usually a personal reason that

White Sapphires Vs. Diamonds

With its close physical appearance to diamonds and and costing a fraction of the price, the white sapphire seems like the perfect alternative to a stunning yet expensive diamond. But let’s put the status aspect of diamond aside for a moment.  Since one can’t help but admit that diamonds go hand in hand with from status and renown, there are still many large differences between a colorless sapphire and a diamond. To begin with, a white sapphire does not show the brilliance or fire that a diamond does. This shouldn’t really come as a surprise.  This is basically what diamonds are known for and one of the things that makes them so desirable.

Still, when looking at the two stones side by side, the difference between the brilliance and scintillation of the two is quite striking.  At the moment, the shiny white sapphire looks dull next to the fiery diamond. Aside from the brilliance, diamonds and sapphires can look quite remarkably similar to the untrained eye.

Harry Potter Owl Engagement Ring

This harry potter inspired owl ring was inspired by a film I am not supposed to name….but oh well, do you do everything you are told??  I just love owls too much.  However, even if you aren’t a fan of the film, you can still wear this owl ring without anyone know what inspired me to make it.  This can be made with a center stone as small as 4mm and as large as 8mm.  The stones in the halo are 1.3mm and can only be precious stone or CZ.  The stones in the band are 1.5mm.  If you click the image, you can see a finished ring where we hand engraved the owls to give them some detail.

Advantages of a White Sapphire

While we have talked about the differences between diamonds and the colorless stones used in White Sapphire Engagement Rings.  We haven’t really mentioned the beautiful and durable stone’s many advantages. The glaring elephant in the room is price. The prices for white sapphires are a fraction than those of diamonds. Even the premium white sapphires are still far less expensive then even lower quality diamonds.  This means you can get a much larger stone for less.

Another advantage of these colorless stones is that they can be used as accent stones in all types of jewelry when you don’t want to fork over the cash for diamonds.  They can also be used to replace diamonds that have fallen out instead of buying the real thing again or settling for cz. Finally, never forget that sapphires, even white sapphires, are one of the four precious gemstones, which include diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. This means that while they may not be diamonds, they are certainly rare and special.White Sapphire Engagement Rings

 

This stunning Celtic Engagement Ring has Celtic symbols adorning the band up to the shoulders, where 3, 1.5mm stones sit in Triquetras symbols.  The basket holding the head also has some symbols in it.  The cathedrals are cut on the side to add an elegant design element.  This one is shown with a 6.5mm round, but almost any size or shape stone could be used.  We could also change the pattern on the band if you had something else in mind.  

Bottom Line Recommendation on White Sapphire Engagement Rings

White sapphires are very desirable to many, but if you are looking for fire and sparkle, we recommend considering a diamond or moissanite. No gemstone with any durability can match the fire and dispersion of diamond and moissanite.  Add in the fact that both are even more durable than sapphire and you have a hard  case to beat.  However, we know that sapphire itself has an allure and that some don’t necessarily care about sparkle.  We get that. And that isn’t to say that white sapphire doesn’t sparkle if cut well.  It just doesn’t compare to the other two.  The bottom line is go for what you want and don’t worry about what others think!
