What is the significance of a sapphire ring?
The significance of a sapphire ring is multifaceted, blending historical symbolism, cultural significance, and personal values into a deeply meaningful choice for couples.
Here's a closer look at why sapphire rings are so special:
Historical and Royal Associations:
- Royalty and Nobility: Sapphires have a long-standing association with royalty and nobility. Historically, kings and queens favoured these gemstones for their supposed protective properties and as symbols of wisdom, virtue, and good fortune. The rich blue colour of sapphires has often been linked with qualities like sincerity and faithfulness, which are desirable in a marital relationship.
- Famous Sapphire Rings: Perhaps the most notable example in recent history is the engagement ring given by Prince Charles (*title he held at the time of the event, currently King Charles III) to Lady Diana Spencer, which featured a 12-carat oval blue sapphire surrounded by diamonds. This ring not only cemented the stone's association with modern royalty but also sparked a trend in engagement ring fashion. Later, Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton ( currently Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) with the same ring, reinforcing the sapphire's status in contemporary royal engagements and increasing its popularity among the public.
