If your intended is a fan of unusual stones, she will likely appreciate you buying her a sapphire engagement ring. These types of rings are beautiful and her friends will be envious of her one-of-a-kind ring. Buying a sapphire engagement ring need not be difficult if you follow these steps.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find a jeweler that deals with different types of gems. Your chosen jeweler should have a large selection of sapphire rings that you can compare. Antique jewelry dealers will often have many beautiful sapphire rings.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the cut of the sapphire. Sapphire engagement rings can come in the same shapes as diamond rings. You can choose square, round, oval and radiant cuts.

  3. Step 3

    Pick the color of the sapphire. A darker blue sapphire will be more expensive than sapphires with a lighter color. There are also pink sapphires that you can use in your ring.

  4. Step 4

    Look at the different settings and bands. White gold and platinum bands match the sapphire stone well. A setting with small diamonds surrounding the sapphire will also look beautiful.

  5. Step 5

    Check the brilliance of the sapphire. A sapphire should be very eye catching and should stand out when the ring is placed on your intended's finger.

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure that your girlfriend will appreciate a sapphire ring. If she has her heart set on a diamond engagement ring, you should buy her that.
  • Be sure to check with your jeweler on how to clean and care for a sapphire ring.
