The Beauty and Symbolism Of Diamond And Sapphire Engagement Rings
When you buy an engagement ring, most people think diamonds and don't go any more complex than that for choices for their ring. However, if you limit yourself to just one stone, then you're missing a chance to buy a ring with a little more depth for your future wife. Try taking a look at diamond and sapphire engagement rings to get something with a little more to look at than simply one stone. There are a number of good reasons why diamond and sapphire engagement rings are a great choice, from their construction to their looks.
Hard Construction
Sapphires are not quite, but almost as hard as diamonds, and as such, both help to symbolize enduring, strong love. It's this hardness that makes diamond and sapphire work in engagement rings so well; they naturally complement each other because of their hardness. And when you choose a ring with multiple stones as this one, either stone is suitable as the largest, main stone, since both will be resistant to scratches and wear.
Color
The dark blue color of sapphire also provides a way of adding a little depth to the look of diamond and sapphire engagement rings. Diamonds go with anything, but particularly if you use subtle sapphire stones as a way of accenting your ring, so will sapphire. Paired with a lighter metal for your engagement ring, such as white gold, the sapphire will help to give the ring an elegant look.
Symbolism
There are a couple of places where diamond and sapphire engagement rings are particularly appropriate due to the symbolism of the stone. For instance, sapphire is the birth stone for September, so if your future bride's birthday is in that month, you might decide to go hunting for diamond and sapphire engagement rings for one that is meant specifically for her.
The sapphire is also the symbol for the 45th wedding anniversary, and as such, diamond and sapphire engagement rings also make great gifts for commemorating this anniversary. For a real pleaser, you can try to locate and choose from diamond and sapphire engagement rings that closely resemble the ring you gave your wife so many decades before. But whether you are using diamond and sapphire engagement rings to let your loved one know of your intentions or to let her know that you still care for her after so many years, these beautiful rings make a wonderful alternative to the simple diamond engagement ring, and should be looked at when you start searching for the right one.
