These days being unique is the way to go! While some gals like to keep it traditional, I love my clients who aren't afraid to be bold and choose color.  Don't get me wrong, I love a traditional diamond engagement ring, but if you are looking to create something fun and unique a sapphire gemstone engagement ring may be the perfect fit for you.

Even better?  Sapphires are hard stones that are durable enough for everyday wear.

I had so much fun creating this sapphire engagement ring for my client. We can thank Kate Middleton for making blue sapphire engagement rings a trend, and I'm so glad she did. We ethically source all of our gems, so when M came to me with the idea for a blue sapphire center stone I responsibly sourced this stunning Ceylon sapphire. The diamond halo surrounding the sapphire gives this ring a true engagement feel.

Talk about original, this green sapphire engagement ring is a unique beauty. My client came up with the idea for a green center stone and I was all for it. After presenting several gems to her, she chose this gorgeous oval green sapphire. We took the uniqueness to the next level by setting the stone east-west.

Talk about dreamy, this pastel sapphire is a jaw dropper. I bezel set this gem so that it would be extremely durable since my client is a rower and triathlete. Sapphires are an extremely sturdy stone which is another reason why they are perfect for the non-traditional girl who doesn't want a diamond.
