About Sapphire
Sapphire is the second-hardest natural gemstone at 9 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for daily wear in engagement rings and bands. The classic deep blue is best-known, but sapphire occurs naturally in every color except red (which is classified as ruby) — including pink, yellow, peach, teal, and even color-changing varieties. Sapphire is the September birthstone and the traditional 45th-anniversary gem, and has been used in royal engagement rings for centuries (most famously Princess Diana's and Kate Middleton's).
About 18K Rose Gold
18K rose gold combines 75% pure gold with a refined copper alloy, producing the softest and most luxurious pink tone available in karat gold. The high gold content gives 18K rose a more muted, sophisticated pink than 14K — closer to dusty peach than vivid copper. It carries the highest heirloom value of any rose gold and is the preferred choice for premium custom engagement rings and statement pieces where color refinement matters most.
