Yes, sapphire is okay for an engagement ring. A sapphire is not only okay, it’s exceptional. Second in hardness only to diamond, sapphires are incredibly durable, making them a beautiful and practical choice for everyday wear. But beyond strength, sapphires offer something else: personality. Whether it’s deep blue, moody teal, or something softly unexpected like peach or lilac, a sapphire engagement ring feels personal, expressive, and anything but ordinary. At Black Finch, we love sapphires for their individuality and the stories they tell, each one a piece of the earth, chosen with care, and designed to last a lifetime.

A sapphire engagement ring signifies depth, loyalty, and a love that doesn’t follow the crowd. Long associated with wisdom, truth, and protection, sapphires carry a quiet strength, much like the relationships they celebrate. Choosing a sapphire says something subtle but powerful: that beauty comes in many colours, and tradition is yours to shape. At Black Finch, our sapphire rings are designed for those who want more than sparkle, they want meaning, story, and soul. Each one is handcrafted in Melbourne, made to mark a love that’s unmistakably yours.

Yes, you can propose with a sapphire ring, and many do. Proposing with a sapphire ring is a bold, beautiful way to honour your love story. It’s a choice that says you value individuality over convention, meaning over mass market. Whether deep blue, teal, yellow or something in between, sapphires bring character and emotion to a moment that deserves nothing less. At Black Finch, we see sapphire engagement rings as modern heirlooms, designed in our Melbourne studio, handcrafted in recycled gold, and made to be passed down. So yes, you can propose with a sapphire ring. And if it’s from us, it will be unforgettable.

A sapphire engagement ring has quietly shifted from rarity to rising trend. 21% of non-diamond rings now feature sapphires, up 6% since 2022. While diamonds still dominate, sapphires are steadily capturing attention. 

Forged by royalty and celebs, think Princess Diana’s iconic blue sapphire, it remains a powerful choice rooted in elegance and individuality. 

Modern tastes are embracing unique sapphire engagement rings, with interest growing across a spectrum of hues and cuts, not only blue, but teal, pink, and green. 

At Black Finch, we’ve noticed a clear shift: sapphire rings are no longer niche, they’re crafted with character, and ethically sourced in our Melbourne studio. So, while diamonds still hold court, sapphire engagement rings are becoming an exciting and expressive alternative, especially for those craving something meaningful, colourful, and distinctly personal in Australia and beyond.
