The real question is where haven’t you seen a blue sapphire ring! These are famous for being gifted as the ultimate romantic gesture and are the ultimate example of an engagement ring.
One of the most famous examples of such a gesture was given by the French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, who chose a sapphire and diamond engagement ring for his fiancee Josephine in 1796. The ring has since sold for almost one million dollars but rest assured, our top 10 list contains a section of rings for a more modest budget!
Blue sapphires have since been the engagement ring of choice for a long list of celebrities including Penelope Cruz and Elizabeth Hurley and it’s also one of many engagement rings chosen and worn by Victoria Beckham.
But by far the most famous and perhaps the most beautiful blue sapphire ring is owned by the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. This ring famously belonged to the late Princess Diana and was the ring of choice for Prince William when he proposed to Kate.
This 18k white gold ring is truly stunning and includes a 12-carat oval blue sapphire which is elegantly set amongst fourteen diamonds. If you’re looking for an example of why sapphire rings are so sort after, this ring certainly shows why sapphires are so popular.
