Sapphire Engagement Rings Can Have A Bewitching Effect
One of the nice things about a sapphire engagement ring is its color which, if it is purple, makes it one of a kind and it is especially bewitching when seen to change colors as it comes into contact with different lighting conditions. You might even perceive the ring to be two separate rings when the lighting conditions change and it is not unusual for a purple sapphire engagement ring to appear blue during the daytime and more of violet when exposed to bright as well as incandescent light.
Judge The Value From The Amount Of Change In Color
You can judge the value of a sapphire engagement ring from the significant changes in color, and if the changes are indeed very pronounced, it adds to the value of the ring. In fact the popularity of sapphire engagement rings has never been in doubt and it is indeed a hot seller in the United States. It is very usual to see blue sapphires in these engagement rings, though there are many colors available in natural sapphires. They call sapphires that are not blue as fancy sapphires.
You would do well to select a sapphire engagement ring for your partner as they are very durable gems that are second only to diamonds in terms of hardness. You won't be unduly bothered, when you wear a sapphire engagement ring in different weather conditions as its weather resistant properties can withstand the elements very well.
If you want to cut costs, (which you should not) and opt for a purple sapphire for the ring instead of the more popular blue sapphire, make sure that you select a sapphire with adequate carat weight. You may pay more for extra carat weight, but it is well worth the money as anyone that has bought a diamond would know. In addition, choose the sapphire cut with care as it also impacts the overall cost of the sapphire engagement ring.
What royalty wears is very often copied by the buying public, and this is reason why the blue sapphire engagement ring is very popular. After all, blue sapphires were the choice of royalty given the rareness of these gems and also because they are almost as hard as a diamond. The blue sapphire engagement ring would indeed make a wonderful gift for your lady love when you acclaim your love for her.
You can select from many different shades of sapphires and blue colored sapphires owe their color to the composition of titanium in the stone. If it contains a high level of titanium, it will be much richer in color, though one should be careful not to go in for too high content of titanium, which will cause the sapphire engagement ring to look dull and thus diminish its value.
