Sapphire
Sapphires are precious gemstones that consist of the mineral corundum. Blue sapphires are the most common, but yellow, orange and purple sapphires also exist.
After diamonds and moissanite, sapphires are the third hardest material on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
The symbolism of sapphires has changed over time. People also used to believe that a blue sapphire protected you against magic and witchcraft. According to Hindustani superstition, a sapphire brings good luck to the wearer under the influence of the planet of Saturn.
Today, sapphires mainly symbolise truth, love, purity and sincerity. With its intense blue appearance, the sapphire is perfect as an accent colour for an engagement ring or even a pair of earrings.
Three-stone Engagement Rings
Three-stone engagement rings (also called trilogy or trinity rings) use three stones set together either as a bundle or in a straight line.
Some view the stones as symbols of friendship, love and fidelity. Others use trilogy rings to represent the mind, body and soul.
Perhaps the most beautiful symbolism for a three-stone engagement ring is the past, present and future. Accepting the ring means you let go of your past, embrace each other in the present, and commit to a future together.
Align your three stones in a row using a round cut for the most splendid brilliance. Choose from any gemstone and set them in white gold, platinum, yellow gold, or red gold.
