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 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
