Blue Sapphire Engagement Rings

Fun Fact: Some blue sapphires are among the oldest gemstones on Earth, dating back more than 2 billion years! These ancient sapphires formed deep within the Earth's crust under intense heat and pressure, long before life as we know it existed. When you wear a sapphire, you're not just wearing a beautiful gem—you're wearing a piece of Earth's ancient past, a time capsule from a world that looked nothing like today’s.

About Sapphires: Sapphires come in every color of the rainbow, from red and orange to green, blue, violet, and pink. Once believed to offer protection, they are also thought to bring calm and relaxation. Sri Lanka was the top source for fine sapphires until Kashmir’s legendary discovery in 1880, though its mines were depleted by 1930. Today, sapphires are mined in Madagascar, Australia, and Thailand. Non-blue and pink varieties are called "fancy sapphires" or "rainbow sapphires." Sapphire jewelry is the traditional gift for the 5th and 45th anniversaries and the September birthstone. My Sapphire Source offers an exquisite selection of sapphire rings, earrings, bracelets, and pendants.

Buying a Sapphire: Sapphires are the ultimate colored gemstone—exceptionally durable (Mohs 9) and available in a stunning range of colors. Sapphires over 1 carat are considered significant, and while some inclusions are accepted, nearly all at MySapphireSource.com are eye-clean and visually stunning. We offer everything from classic Ceylon blue to rich royal blue, plus vibrant yellow, orange, and pink sapphires. Our hand-picked rainbow sapphire jewelry is a must-see, ensuring every piece is unique and beautiful.

Enhancements: : Once mined, sapphires are cut to highlight their brilliance and color. Heat treatment, a standard practice in fine jewelry, enhances clarity and sometimes color, with the effect being permanent. Less than 1% of sapphires remain unheated, making them rare and highly valued if their color and clarity match treated stones. MySapphireSource offers a selection of these prized unheated sapphires, while most of our collection consists of expertly treated gems for maximum beauty.

Care of Sapphires: : Clean your sapphire jewelry regularly to keep it looking beautiful for decades. Dirt can build up around the setting, so use a soft brush with lukewarm water for easy maintenance. Sapphires are tough and can withstand steaming or ultrasonic cleaning, but avoid strong chemicals or boiling water. With proper care, your jewelry will stay brilliant for years.
