Today is my sixth wedding anniversary, and, though my marriage to a seriously wonderful guy is what I treasure most in the world, my engagement ring is a close second. It’s a relatively simple look: a round 1 ct. diamond flanked with pear-shape sapphire sides. I get the warmest feeling everytime I look at it, despite the fact that it’s almost always in desperate need of a spin through the ultrasonic. I often get asked if sapphire is my birthstone—it’s not. The truth is, I have no idea what drew me to a sapphire-accented engagement ring. I just liked it. I like that the blue goes with anything. I like that pop of color that adds character to my wedding set. And I just happen to think that if sapphire had a personality, it would be one hell of a romantic one. So for whatever reason your engagement ring shoppers are drawn to this magnificent stone—for a center or an accent—tell them they’re making a great choice. At least, I happen to think so.
