Sapphires (and engagement rings with the gem) are symbolically linked to honesty and loyalty, two of the most important qualities for a lifelong journey of marriage together!
Royalty has set sapphires on their jewellery throughout history as they symbolise wisdom, virtue, good fortune and holiness. In recent memory, Prince William of the UK proposed to Kate Middleton with his late mother’s (Princess Diana’s) blue sapphire engagement ring, sparking a wave of interest in sapphire engagement rings.
