Oval White Sapphire Ring
When you think of sapphire, what normally comes to mind? Most people tend to think of sapphire as blue. But blue isn’t the only color sapphire that you can get in the center of your diamond ring. Sapphires come in a variety of colors, including yellow, pink, blue, and in this case, we have an oval white sapphire ring.
In this text, we talk about a white sapphire in an oval cut ring, what exactly they are and where you can find one for your perfect engagement ring.
Introducing the White Sapphire Gemstone
The white sapphire gemstone is a tough and durable stone. It is incredibly hard, which means it can be cut into a huge range of shapes and styles. This feature makes it an excellent option for a range of different accessories.
Like these oval white sapphire rings, you can make amazing style statements and can effortlessly spice up your signature look. Whether you want a unique piece for daily wear, or something unique for special occasions, this ring type is a great option.
What is a White Sapphire Ring?
You are probably wondering what even is a sapphire. Sapphires are a type of aluminum oxide mined from the earth’s surface. The differences in the chemical properties of the stone cause the variation of colors (blue, yellow, pink, white, etc.).
While they may not be a diamond, white sapphire stones can offer a beautiful alternative as a center stone in an engagement ring. They are prized for their bright, white glow and durability which makes them a suitable candidate when choosing a stone for your ring.
If you choose a white sapphire for your ring, there are a few things you may want to consider when pairing it with a setting. First, a ring setting with diamond accents is a great way to add fire and sparkle to a white sapphire stone. Second, a ring without accent diamonds can help to enhance the focus of the center stone without diverting attention.
Whichever setting you choose, no matter what style or color it is, a white sapphire stone in the center is a brilliant choice. If you’re leaning toward this stone, then know you still have plenty of options to choose from regarding your setting and band.
Introducing the Oval Diamond: Sparks of Brightness
An oval diamond, like a burst of brilliance and fire, is rare, elegant and personal. The Oval is a “fancy” shape that presents an elongated design. This makes it take on a larger appearance compared to other shapes of the same carat weight. You might find an oval diamond of 1.01 Carat looking quite large compared to diamonds of other cuts in the same setting and material.
With a slender body, the oval diamond generates that lovely, elongated structure that often makes the hand and fingers look slimmer. With this diamond cut, you do not see any sharp corners. That way, it’s less prone to chipping even with everyday wear.
For anyone who loves a rounded design but wants a stone with more qualities, an oval diamond is an impressive option. In addition, oval diamonds practically always fall within a price range lower than brilliant round diamonds.

Various celebrity engagements contributed to the rebirth of brides’ desire for oval engagement rings in recent years. Hailey Baldwin Bieber spotted an eye-popping oval-cut diamond on an 18k gold band in the summer of 2018. That alone reminded us why this classic style is so famous amongst brides and jewelry lovers in general.
An oval diamond in an engagement ring might also incorporate a gemstone such as a ruby or a white sapphire in this case. With an oval diamond, you can work with any setting, from solitaire or three-stone to a diamond pavé band.

Ovals can feel feminine and fresh but are still more timeless than trendier shapes like pears or marquises.”
The Vibrant Shade of Sapphires
Sapphires are precious gemstones. The stone is primarily aluminum oxide with other trace elements. We know these stones most commonly as rich blue stones, but they actually come in a variety of different colors. These stones are a variety of what we refer to as corundum. Interestingly, rubies are also corundum, but they have different names. However, there are some places where these stones will still get considered sapphires.
A great thing about the sapphire is that it is one of the hardest stones on earth, behind diamonds. This makes them versatile. They can be cut into a vast range of shapes and styles. Other softer stones cannot withstand the pressure and cuts that some shapes entail. This is what makes the sapphire such a precious stone. It has a gorgeous hue but is also hard enough to take on pretty much any shape or style.
Sapphires feature in far more than just jewelry. Due to their internal properties, they are actually used in internal watch components, insulating substrates in a range of electronics, and even in some blue LED lights. This amazing stone is also the birthstone of those born in the month of September. Traditionally, the sapphire is also the stone that celebrates its 45th anniversary.
Oval White Sapphire Rings
Sapphire rings are an excellent accessory for a range of occasions. You might choose a sapphire cocktail ring or even a sapphire engagement ring. The great thing about these stones is that they are versatile and elegant. They look great with other gemstones and a variety of precious metals. These rings give any look an air of sophistication and elegance that is hard to beat.
Whether your ring is something you wear daily or is meant for special occasions, we are sure you will adore this unique accessory.
Some people want to really highlight the sapphire in these rings. This can mean they choose a huge, quality sapphire and offset it with their favorite precious metal. Others like to pair sapphires with other accent stones. Diamonds are the most commonly chosen accent stone.
While, of course, diamonds do look great with sapphires, they aren’t the only choice. If you like a lot of colors, you might choose different types of gemstones as your accent stone. Or, you may want different stones of similar sizes to create something truly unique and stunning. The choice is all yours.
Pairing White Sapphires with Other Stones
The white sapphire is a gorgeous stone, whether on its own or you choose to pair it with other types of gemstones. Diamonds are a popular choice for accent stones. This is because a high-grade diamond is essentially colorless.
There isn’t the worry of it clashing with the central sapphire. Not only that, but diamonds are beautiful as they are. Since they won’t clash with the rich hue of the sapphire, it does make an excellent option for accent stone. Some may choose to have tiny diamonds that surround a central stone. Others may wish to use different stones to create a shape or pattern.
Diamonds aren’t, of course, your only option. You can pair sapphires with pretty much anything you want. If you like a lot of colors, you might want to choose from a variety of colorful gemstones to create a piece that is elegant with all the colors of the rainbow. Or, you may want to choose a couple of different colors that will feature in the ring. You can let your imagination run wild. Just think of how many different colors blue looks good with. This shows you just how many options you truly have.
A Perfect Pair with Different Metals
Some stones look good with only a certain kind of metal. Other colors may clash with the hue of the stone. The great thing about oval white sapphire rings is that they look good in pretty much any type of precious metal you can imagine. It looks amazing in gold.
Whether you choose white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, or even a two-tone gold, the ring will look incredible. Gold is a natural choice because of its beauty as well as its durability.
These rings also look great in other precious metals. Platinum, with its unmatched brightness, looks amazing with a richly blue stone. The brightness of the metal actually offsets well against the deep color of the stone, creating a truly gorgeous piece of jewelry.
However, you don’t have to choose these priciest metals to create a truly stunning ring. Oval white sapphires also pair well with silver and even stainless steel. You can really be creative when choosing a sapphire ring. Make it all your own with your favorite precious metal. Or, you can create something truly one-of-a-kind by choosing a mix of different kinds of metal. The choice really is yours.
Oval White Sapphire Rings: A Punch of Color with No Color
A lot of jewelry is rather tame. While diamonds are gorgeous, we often choose clear diamonds that don’t add any color to our look. Sparkle and shine are great, but so too is color. This is why some people stray away from the diamond, or at least away from the diamond as the central stone of a piece of jewelry.
Some jewelry lovers prefer a bit of color in their accessories. This doesn’t mean there isn’t room for the gorgeous diamond, it only means it isn’t the focal point. Richly-hued stones like sapphires are a great option for the main stone if you want color. Since they are hard, they can be cut into pretty much any shape you can imagine. This elegance is still possible in an oval white sapphire ring.
This makes them versatile like the diamond, but with the extra benefit of being a gorgeous color. You can choose a large sapphire as your center stone and pair it with high-grade diamonds as accent stones.
If you want even more color, you may choose a variety of other types of gemstones to use as accent stones. If you want something a little bolder, you may choose colorful gemstones that will create a unique shape or pattern. You really have a lot of options to create the perfect piece for you.
