Sapphire tends to conjure images of famous crown jewels, such as the late Princess Diana’s engagement ring. This gemstone’s association with royalty traces back to the Middle Ages when the clergy wore ecclesiastical rings with sapphires to symbolize heaven, and it remains to this day. Although the word sapphire refers to blue sapphire in the industry, the gemstone comes in a wide range of colors, including pink, white, green, yellow, and purple. These hues are called fancy sapphires. This means that the possibilities for sapphire jewelry are truly endless. 

Whether you’re on the hunt for blue or fancy sapphire jewelry, our selection is here to help. These pieces have unique designs that showcase the beauty of the finest sapphires.
