Sapphire and diamond engagement rings can never go out of style. Diamonds are the most commonly thought of centre stones and for good reason, too. Due to their rarity, value, beauty and durability, diamond engagement rings are the perfect symbol of eternal love. However, when considering giving diamond rings with a combination of other precious gemstones, sapphire is one of the first gemstones to get picked.

Whether two smaller blue sapphires emphasize the diamond centre stone or it is a larger blue sapphire centre stone that gets accentuated by surrounding diamonds, these engagement rings would surely be things of lavish beauty. White gold or silver is the way to go here, as yellow gold may tend to clash with the deep blue of the sapphires. Princess cut diamonds with deep and rich fires
would be the best cuts to go along with the sapphires. And of course, the more intricate the detail of the filigree, the more stunning the final piece could be. Another stunning setup could involve a pink sapphire centre stone flanked by diamonds set atop an ornately designed platinum ring.

Sapphire and diamond go hand in hand but sapphire engagement rings are almost always treasured pieces too. Set atop a silver, white gold or platinum ring, sapphire can also truly shine on its own.

One should remember that it's not just the size of the diamond or sapphires alone that determines an engagement ring's value but a combination of other factors. The quality of the craft and the detail work involved, the harmonious marriage of the stones, the beauty of the design, these all have to be considered when picking quality engagement rings.
