Gold Sapphire Rings

The value of a gold sapphire ring depends on the size, colour, clarity, origin and treatment of the stone, as well as on the weight and fineness of the gold, the design and any additional diamonds. In this collection, 585 fineness gold rings with natural sapphires range in price from a few hundred to several thousand euros. The value of a specific ring can be assessed most accurately by a professional jeweller or gemmologist.

A natural sapphire often has tiny internal inclusions, uneven colour or other naturally formed characteristics that can be seen through a jeweller’s loupe. Gas bubbles or curved growth lines may indicate an imitation or a laboratory-grown stone. Sapphire is very hard, reaching 9 on the Mohs scale, but scratch tests at home are not recommended, as they can damage the ring.

Breath or water-drop tests can only give a preliminary indication and are not entirely reliable. A sapphire’s authenticity, origin and any heat treatment are most accurately determined by a certified gemmologist using specialist equipment.

Sapphires in a rich, velvety cornflower or royal blue are usually considered the most valuable. Vivid stones with even colour that are neither too dark nor greyish are especially prized. Extremely rare pinkish-orange Padparadscha sapphires can cost as much or even more.

The price of a sapphire depends not only on its colour but also on its clarity, carat weight, quality of cut, origin and treatment. Natural, unheated sapphires are usually considerably more valuable than heat-treated stones.

Yes, sapphire is ideal for gold rings. It is an exceptionally durable gemstone, so it can be chosen both for everyday jewellery and for an engagement or special-occasion ring. Sapphires look beautiful with white, yellow and rose gold, and their rich blue colour is elegantly complemented by diamonds. 585 fineness gold gives the ring the right balance of durability and luxurious appearance.

Sapphire is regarded as a symbol of fidelity, trust, wisdom and sincerity. A sapphire ring can represent a strong bond, lasting commitment and respect, which is why it is often chosen for engagements, anniversaries or as a meaningful gift. The rich blue colour of sapphire is also associated with calm, nobility and inner harmony.
