SAPPHIRE ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Sapphire is the engagement stone with the richest history in Western tradition. A symbol of fidelity and wisdom since Antiquity, it has sealed the unions of European royal families—from Napoleon and Joséphine to Lady Diana’s ring, passed on to Prince William for his proposal to Kate Middleton. In practical terms, it is the second-hardest stone in the world after diamond (9 on the Mohs scale), making it perfectly suited to daily wear over several decades without concern for scratches or knocks. Its gemmological distinction: for an equivalent budget, sapphire offers a more generous and more colourful centre stone than diamond.

Sapphire is renowned for its deep blue hues, but it comes in a wide variety of natural shades.

At Bonnot Paris, we offer these different sapphires for a unique engagement ring:

• The timeless blue sapphire, a symbol of fidelity.
• The distinctive teal sapphire with its unique blue-green reflections.
• The mysterious purple sapphire, with its intense, refined colour.
• Soft hues such as the pink sapphire or the padparadscha sapphire with its pink-orange nuances.
• Sunlit colours such as yellow sapphire.

Each colour has its own symbolism and unique character.

Each bespoke creation begins with a personalised consultation, in Paris, in Angers or by video consultation, to understand your wishes, your story and your budget.

Our experts guide you through selecting the stones and developing the design of your jewel.

Our designers then create several sketches to help you visualise the piece.

Once the stones and design have been approved, our master jewellers handcraft your creation in our workshops, to the highest standards of excellence of Maison Bonnot Paris.

Yes, all our stones are certified by renowned laboratories such as Bellerophon, ICA GemLab, London Gem Lab, and others, guaranteeing their authenticity and exceptional quality.

Delivery is made in person in Paris or via a specialist carrier, ensuring a secure, insured and fully reliable shipment to its destination.

The creation time depends on the complexity of the jewel, but generally takes between 4 and 8 weeks after approval of the final design.

Thanks to our offices in India, Sri Lanka and Bangkok, close to the markets and mines, we take the necessary time to select the ideal stone, perfectly aligned with your expectations.

Yes, Bonnot Paris offers a recycling and transformation service for your jewellery.
We can reuse the gold from your existing pieces to give it a new life in a jewel designed especially for you.

We work with many clients throughout France and internationally.

A video consultation is initially offered to understand your wishes, expectations and project.

Afterwards, personalised support is provided via WhatsApp or email, to guide you through every stage.

We send you detailed photos and videos of the selected stones (or jewel), to give you confidence in your choice.

You are also welcome to send us your inspirations, questions or doubts, by message or in images; we remain at your side throughout the creation process.

Our creations begin at around €2,500, with the heart of the collection ranging from €4,500 to €12,000. The price depends first on the sapphire—carat, colour, origin—then on the setting: metal, diamond surround, complexity of the setting. Selecting each stone without intermediaries allows us to dedicate your budget to the sapphire itself.

Yes—it is even one of the best stones for this purpose. With a hardness of 9 out of 10, just behind diamond, sapphire withstands everyday scratches. A thoughtfully designed setting protects it for life; our workshop checks it whenever you entrust us with your ring.
