Even royalty use it, such as when Prince William gifted his Duchess a
sapphire engagement ring that once belonged to his late mother.
There are many
shapes and cuts sapphires are made into, each oriented towards optimally showcasing the
color and sparkle of the
stone. These gems look spectacular when surrounded by
accent diamonds, in what is called the
halo style, because the smaller
stones encircle the
center gem in a way similar to an angel’s
halo.
Sapphires also look beautiful when you set them singly in a
solitaire setting, with
a metal shank holding the
stone. The metal used in a
diamond sapphire ring can be one among
yellow gold,
platinum, palladium,
rose gold, and
white gold.
Even the
size can vary, because the
stone need not necessarily be large or placed at the
center. A small
micro can be set in the form of an
accent, on a
rose gold band.
