Blue Sapphire Diamond Engagement Ring
“I found your web site while searching for blue sapphire diamond engagement rings, because I was initially leaning towards a three stone diamond engagement ring, with a one carat diamond center stone, and the accent stones are pear shape sapphires, but I really kind of like the look of the Lace setting from Brian Gavin, set with sapphire accents, and think that my girlfriend will love the ring also! I was initially leaning towards platinum over white gold, but notice that you offer the ring in palladium; what is palladium?
Platinum versus Palladium engagement rings:
Platinum and palladium are both part of the platinum group metal, and are both commonly used for making fine jewelry that is white in color. One of the biggest advantages that palladium offers is that it is lower in cost, because it is more abundant than platinum.
It can be extremely difficult to visually ascertain the differences between platinum and palladium jewelry, because the two metals look practically identical when cast into jewelry; both palladium and platinum maintain a bright white color, and do not tarnish or oxidize in the same manner that white gold does, thus it does not need to be rhodium plated to maintain its bright white color.
Both metals are considered to be hypo-allergenic, which makes them an excellent choice for people who might suffer an allergic reaction to some of the base metals that are mixed with yellow gold to create white gold.
The primary difference between palladium and platinum is that platinum is much denser, which makes it cost more than palladium, but also makes it a better metal to work with when creating jewelry that is more elaborate in design, because the density of platinum allows for more minute detail to be created, thus it is great for filigree work and stuff like that.
Three stone diamond e-ring with pear shape side stones:
I believe that this is this Brian Gavin three stone diamond engagement ring with pear shape accents, is the ring style that you were initially searching for, which is pictured here with pear shape diamond accents, but which we could easily make with pear shape blue sapphires. This 3 stone diamond e-ring with pear shape diamonds is a timeless classic, which is extremely popular with our clients, it would definitely look stunning set with medium blue color sapphires, and we’d be happy to source a matched pair for you.
However the Lace engagement ring from Brian Gavin with blue sapphire accents is absolutely stunning, and I like it very much… the two rings offer a look which is uniquely different, so you’ll have to decide which style of engagement ring you prefer.
In the mean time, you might want to take a look at our current inventory of loose diamonds featured in the Brian Gavin Signature collection of round hearts and arrows diamonds; and if you’re looking for a diamond that would blend well with the blue sapphire theme of this engagement ring, you might consider a Brian Gavin Blue Signature diamond that exhibits blue fluorescence when exposed to black light.
