Sapphire Jewelry Through the Eras
The sapphire's journey through jewelry history reveals its use through evolutions of artistry and is a testament to the gem’s lasting allure:
- Victorian (1837–1901): Romantic yellow gold settings adorned with sapphires and rose-cut diamonds, often arranged in floral or symbolic motifs.
- Edwardian (1901–1915): Platinum designs with airy, lace-like filigree that created a striking contrast to the vivid blue of sapphires.
- Art Deco (1920s–1930s): Bold, curvaceous styles using sapphires as center stones with diamond accents to highlight their depth of color.
Color, Character, and the Lore of Sapphire
Sapphire engagement rings have long been cherished for their rich symbolism and captivating beauty. While deep blue remains the iconic hue, sapphires occur in nearly every color— violet, green, yellow, orange, pink, and purple—each offering a unique expression of style and sentiment. Revered since antiquity, sapphires were believed by ancient Persian rulers to color the heavens and have long represented loyalty, truth, and divine favor. As a member of the corundum family and second only to diamond in hardness, sapphire embodies both brilliance and strength, making antique and vintage sapphire engagement rings a perfect symbol of lasting love.
