Exploring the Beauty of Sapphires: A Closer Look

While diamonds are the most traditional choice for an engagement ring design, coloured gemstones, especially sapphires, are becoming an increasingly popular choice due to their makeup and vibrancy.

Morgan & Co has seen a rising demand for sapphires, and in particular, Australian Sapphires. From deep sea blue, rich forest green and mixed colours such as yellow/blue parti sapphires, there is no end tot array of colours to choose from.

With a Mohs hardness of 9/10, sapphires are only second to the diamond. Sapphires are one of the hardest gemstones and are incredibly durable. This means sapphires are resistant to scratches, chips, and other damage that can occur with daily wear. The superior durability of sapphires makes them ideal for an engagement ring to be worn and adored every day. This makes a sapphire one of Morgan & Co’s most popular coloured stone of choice.

Versatility and Variety 

Sapphires look amazing paired with other gemstones such as diamonds. Diamond halos or diamond side stones allow you to enjoy not just a pop of colour but also the traditional diamond. Sapphires look amazing in a variety of metals such as platinum, white gold, yellow gold and rose gold. 

Sapphires are cut in a full range of beautiful shapes including round, oval, cushion, emerald and also off centre cuts. You are able to choose the perfect shape that complements your hand and skin tone. Book your complementary consultation with us and request for your desired shaped and coloured sapphires you would like to view. Our team will bring in an array of sapphires for you to choose from for you custom made engagement ring.

When comparing the price of a sapphire against that of a diamond, sapphires are more affordable per carat compared to diamonds of the same size.
