Sapphire

Vintage sapphire rings typically originate from the 1930's. Jewelry at that time was often hand-made, so you will find one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. Part of the draw of finding a vintage sapphire ring is the history that comes with it, since someone from that time period would have also worn it. Since authentic vintage rings can be difficult to find and costlier, there are jewelry makers who produce vintage-looking modern rings. This is for those who like the look and style of vintage jewelry, but aren't necessarily as concerned with having an authentic historical piece.

Classy and Stylish
Vintage rings are very classy and stylish. Women search for vintage rings with valuable gemstones that shine brilliantly. These rings have been widely popular for a number of reasons, even invading the modern fashion industry. These rings are coveted by many, due to their exquisite fashion and the charm. They are highly searched for as engagement rings, evening and everyday rings. Kate Middleton's engagement ring is a sapphire ring.

From Impurities to Beauty
The sapphires are produced by a certain corundum mineral. These sapphires are known to greatly resemble the various colors of the sky - ranging from the deep blue of the night to day time mid blue. Although sapphires can be found in a variety colors, many are found in shades of blue. Other colors yellow, green, orange, purple, and pink are also available. They are a result of impurities in the corundum mineral. In the special case of a chromium impurity, the gem is no longer part of the sapphire gemstones but becomes a ruby.

A common nickname of the sapphire is the "Gemstone of the heavens". Sapphires were just as popular in ancient times as they are today. They are believed to capture the power of wisdom and are associated with feelings of harmony, sympathy, loyalty, and friendship.

Vintage sapphire rings radiate enchanting charm and beauty, especially the deep blue. Knowing that a gem existed decades ago gives it a rich history from being worn by elegant women. This makes it more meaningful and adds a touch of class and uniqueness.
