PROS of a Sapphire Engagement Ring
- High-durability compared to other gemstones like emerald or ruby.
- The value is often determined by its rich blue colour.
- They also come in a variety of (less common) colours to match every skin tone.
- Every sapphire is completely different which means an engagement ring is guaranteed to be unique, making them a more intimate choice than diamonds.
- The cut of sapphire is less important than the cut of a diamond because it is harder to see inclusions of a sapphire with the naked eye.
PROS of a Diamond Engagement Ring
- Exceptionally high-durability (the highest for any natural stone found on the planet).
- The gemstones are not easily scratched.
- Diamonds are considered to be more traditional for wedding proposals.
- They refract more light than sapphires which makes them appear more brilliant and adds to their overall value.
- Diamonds sparkle even when dirty or unpolished.
CONS of a Diamond Engagement Ring
- Diamond engagement rings are often less affordable than those with sapphires.
- Resizing diamond rings can be challenging for even the most experienced jewellers.
- For those concerned about environmental repercussions, diamond mining is often unregulated and therefore there is little control over its impact on the environment.
