Sapphire Engagement Rings: September's Stone of Enduring Love
There is a reason sapphires have been slipped onto fingers and sewn into crowns for centuries past. They can hold the color of the darkest water or the lightest sky, and they carry a promise inside them, of loyalty, of truth, of love meant to weather every season.
Sapphires are September's birthstone, so these late summer weeks feel like the right moment to wander through our collection. For anyone dreaming of a proposal, sapphires offer something diamonds alone cannot. They offer color, and with that, an individuality that won't be replicated.
Sapphire engagement rings are meant to be worn forever
Nearly as hard as diamonds, sapphires are stones you can live in. They weather the everyday, the dishwashing and the gardening and the hand holding, and they stay glittering.
Their colors reach far beyond the familiar royal blue. Sapphires range from teal and sea green to soft periwinkle, berry, and rose. Because every natural stone is a little different, no two sapphire engagement rings are ever the same.
For anyone who loves natural, heirloom stones, sapphires are easy to fall for. They are old and romantic, and they only grow more meaningful as they are worn and handed down.
A relic of wandering leaves and pools of dew. The Meadowsweet holds a lush teal green Montana sapphire, unheated and vividly crisp, nestled into reclaimed 18 karat yellow gold. Hand-carved asymmetrical leaves curl along a bark band, and natural marquise diamonds rest alongside the center stone like sisters gathered close.
At just over one and a half carats, the sapphire carries a clarity that feels lit from within. This piece is ready to ship, so it can be on its way to you within a week.
A creature alight on diamond wings. The Azura cocoons a droplet of periwinkle blue sapphire in reclaimed 14 karat yellow gold, with natural marquise and brilliant cut diamonds spread to either side like wings caught mid-flight.
The periwinkle is soft and dreamy, a blue touched with lavender, gentle against the warm gold and the whittled bark band. It is a tender, romantic thing to wear. Ready to ship.
An amulet of unfurling leaves spun about glittering diamonds. The Willow gathers a teal blue green Montana sapphire into a halo of natural brilliant cut diamonds, all held in reclaimed 14 karat white gold with a nature-inspired leaf and bark band.
The cool white gold lets the teal of the sapphire sing, while marquise diamonds trail off like leaves loosed on the wind. This one is ready to ship as well, waiting for the beloved it belongs to.
Made in collaboration with Claire Pettibone
Each of these rings was born from our collaboration with couture bridal designer Claire Pettibone, part of the Secret Garden Collection. They carry the same enchantment as her gowns translated into reclaimed gold, natural gems, carved leaves, and hidden detail.
If you would like to understand the golds these rings are set in, our guide to golds walks through the warmth of yellow and the coolness of white. And once a ring finds its way to you, our care guide will help you keep it luminous for the long life ahead.
Choose a sapphire and make it your own
For those who feel called to something entirely their own, we keep a collection of loose natural sapphires, each one waiting to be woven into an Heirloom Setting.
These are not ordinary stones. They pool in opalescent pale blue and teal lime green, or in purple pink and periwinkle, or in misty white and deep teal Montana. They are cut into hearts and pears, portraits and elongated eggs, shapes as individual as the person who will wear them. Some carry an inner opalescent glow, others a crisp emerald cut clarity.
The way it works is simple and meaningful: You choose the sapphire that speaks to you, and we set it by hand into one of our carved Heirloom Settings. What emerges is a ring made once, for you alone; a talisman meant to be handed down through generations.
Because each is made to order, an Heirloom Setting takes an average of sixteen weeks to come to life. It is always worth the wait.
A note on timing
Ready to ship pieces travel to you within a week, unless they need resizing, which takes around five weeks. Heirloom Settings, made to order, take an average of sixteen weeks. For anyone dreaming of a proposal in the coming months, a ready to ship sapphire is the surest way to hold something extraordinary in time.
Each Ready to Ship ring is one of a kind. When they're gone, they're gone.
