What did the Sapphire say to the Diamond?
You're not so tough!
Did you know that while the hardness of a diamond is excellent, the toughness of diamonds is only fair to good? Toughness is defined as resistance to breaking, chipping or cracking. In considering day to day wear and tear, this is a critical consideration. If hit just right, a diamond can easily break or chip. So that’s why we encourage consumers to consider various gemstones, particularly sapphire, when selecting an engagement ring or ring which will be worn often. Sapphires and rubies are the second hardest gemstone and have a toughness level of excellent (better than the toughness of a diamond). Therefore, Sapphires are much less prone to breaking or chipping than a diamond.

Carefully hand selected gems:

Our gemstones are vibrant and well-cut and in nearly every case are free of visible inclusions- this is no small feat! So when you select a gemstone from MySapphireSource, you can be assured that you are purchasing one of the finest sapphires available. We do not use any synthetic or lab created sapphires or diamonds in our fine jewelry.
Our settings are not only unique but also designed and specifically manufactured to last a lifetime. We know how important your purchase is and we understand how much it means to you. Our rings are not mass-produced. And in fact, in most cases are one or two of the kind. Our jewelry is made by expert craftsmen whose workmanship is impeccable, and each piece is carefully inspected against our rigorous quality standards. The shanks of our rings vary in width but have a certain thickness that you don't find very often. We use more gold or platinum in our rings than you would typically find, and what this specifically means to you is that our rings feel more luxurious and substantial on your finger, and they will last longer, wear better and easily hold up to daily wear and tear. For those of you looking for an engagement ring or signature piece, we know that this is exactly what you would expect and demand for such an important piece.
Our diamonds are of much better quality than are used by most internet and retail jewelers.
Our goal is to set ourselves apart from our competitors in every important way and the diamonds that we use are no exception. Our diamonds are white, bright, clear, and have no visible inclusions. We only use well cut, fully faceted diamonds and never use diamond chips.
