Sapphire Engagement Rings

At Manna Jewellers, we take gemstone authenticity seriously. Every sapphire used in our engagement rings is carefully examined and verified by certified gemologists. An authentic sapphire in a sapphire engagement ring is a natural corundum gemstone  that is found in many colours including in blue.The gemstones we choose  exhibit fine colour saturation with natural inclusions (magnification) and can be certified by a gemstone report Authentic sapphires can be heat-treated but should not be synthetic or glass-filled.

At Manna jewellers, we guarantee all our sapphire engagement rings are crafted using the highest quality natural gemstones, and  precious metals that are certified with UK hallmarking standards.

Choosing the perfect sapphire starts with understanding the "Four Cs" – Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat weight – much like with diamonds. The most prized sapphires have a rich, vibrant color (deep royal blue is especially popular, like the lady Diana ring), good transparency, and minimal visible inclusions. Cut affects how the stone sparkles, while carat weight determines size. You should also consider origin and whether the sapphire has been treated to enhance its appearance – both of which can affect value. At  Manna Jewellers, we work with suppliers that provide us the best stones  and offer only ethically sourced, high-quality sapphires, often accompanied by a gemological certificate for added confidence.

• Definitely. Sapphires rank among the hardest available gemstones after diamonds and are thus perfect for daily use. Regardless of whether you are picking up groceries, going to work, or celebrating a special occasion, a sapphire ring will be able to withstand your daily activities without sacrificing either beauty or style.
• In addition to their breathtaking beauty, sapphires have a rich history of symbolism—representing loyalty, wisdom, and protection. Sapphires are often selected not only for their color and fire, but also for the emotional and spiritual attachment they provide. A sapphire engagement ring may feel both extravagant and intensely personal, providing long-term value that extends far beyond the visual.
• So if you're searching for a ring that is equal parts everyday practicality and eternally sophisticated, a sapphire is a smart and meaningful choice.

To maintain your sapphire engagement ring sparkling beautifully, follow these easy care tips:

• Clean gently – Use warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush to clean away buildup.
• Dry with care – Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to revive shine.
• Avoid harsh chemicals – Remove your ring when using cleaning products or lotions.
• Store separately – Store it in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches.
• Annual check-up – Have your sapphire engagement ring cleaned and the claw setting checked professionally every other to avoid losing the stone.

We source  stones for our Sapphires engagement rings from trusted suppliers that we have been working with for generations, this means we can source stones of the highest specification for the right price. The gemologists we work with use the following grading system. 

1. Color: The most critical aspect. High-quality sapphires possess a rich, soft royal blue or cornflower blue colour. Fancy sapphires exist in shades of pink, yellow, green, white, and beyond—graded based on saturation, tone, and uniformity.
2. Clarity: High-quality sapphires tend to be eye-clean with few visible inclusions. Natural inclusions such as silk (rutile needles) are frequent and may even add value to star sapphires.
3. Cut: A skilled cut maximises the stone's brilliance, symmetry, and colour play. Typical cuts are oval, cushion, round, and emerald.
4. Carat Weight: Larger sapphires with excellent colour and clarity are more valuable. The price per carat rises dramatically with size.
5. Origin: Kashmir, Burma (Myanmar), and Sri Lanka (Ceylon) sapphires are highly sought after for their superior colour and quality. Madagascar, Thailand, and Australia also yield good stones.
6. Treatment Status: The majority of sapphires are heat-treated, and this is an accepted treatment to improve colour and clarity. Unheated  sapphires are less common and fetch a premium price. 

The most favourable shapes for sapphire engagement rings are oval, cushion, round, emerald, and pear cuts, all providing a unique combination of elegance and style. 

• Oval and cushion shapes are in favour due to their classic appeal and capacity to bring out the colour and size of the stone. Commonly know as the lady Diana ring, this shape offers an elegant and timeless look.
• Round sapphires provide traditional brilliance, while emerald cuts provide clarity with an elegant, refined look. 
• Pear and heart shapes incorporate a romantic, unique flair, ideal for symbolic motifs. The perfect shape is a matter of personal style and the natural beauty of the Sapphire, so it's a deeply personal, meaningful option for couples.

Yes – sapphire is one of the most durable gemstones, making it an excellent choice for engagement rings. Ranking 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, sapphires are second only to diamonds in terms of scratch resistance. This durability means they can withstand daily wear while maintaining their beauty over time. Whether you're choosing a classic blue sapphire or a unique color variation, you can trust that it’s built to last a lifetime – just like your commitment.

Sapphire wedding rings complement perfectly all of the primary metals. 

• Platinum and white gold set blue sapphires off with a streamlined, contemporary appearance and provide high resistance. 
• Yellow gold provides warmth and vintage flair and sets off blue or yellow sapphires in bold contrast. 
• Rose gold provides a soft, romantic sheen and complements particularly pink or peach sapphires. 

Every metal has its distinct personality, so you can choose the Sapphire's colour and your style to match.
