Sapphire engagement rings
A sapphire is harder wearing than almost any other colored stone, which is why Victorian and Deco jewelers used it for rings meant to be worn daily. Cornflower to deep royal blue, with diamonds alongside.

Every piece here exists once, so this page empties and fills again as we buy. That is exactly when it is worth telling us what you are after: our buyers are with European estates, auction houses and private sellers every week, and we write to you first when something right comes in. Below you can see pieces of this kind that have already found owners, as a reference for what we look for.

About sapphire engagement rings
What defines it
Antique sapphires are usually unheated Ceylon or Burmese stones, cut to save weight rather than to a modern formula, so proportions vary and color zoning is normal.
What to look for
Check the hallmark and the wear together: an honest antique ring shows soft, even wear on the high points, original solder lines and a shank that has not been thinned. Ask to see the culet of any old-cut stone, the back of the setting and the gallery, all of which we will show you live on video before you buy.
What it costs
Most antique and vintage engagement rings we sell sit between roughly $1,500 and $12,000, with signed pieces and larger old-cut centers running higher.
Indicative only. Every curated vintage, antique and estate piece is one of a kind and priced on its own merits, with free insured US shipping.
