For a green sapphire ring, it all depends on your taste! Nevertheless, the most sought-after green sapphires tend to be lighter rather than darker, with a golden-green, silver-green or chrome-green appearance. Blue-green sapphires can have an almost metallic sheen when darker. A green sapphire engagement ring is always elegant with a touch of originality, appearing romantic when light and more mysterious when dark.
Above all, look for a quality green sapphire, in other words, one with few or no visible inclusions. Another truly original color is blue-gray sapphire, which can also be set in an engagement ring.
When it's of the highest quality, the green of the sapphire is homogeneous throughout the stone, as with blue sapphire, which is more valuable with a consistent appearance. That said, some sapphires can be appreciated for their naturally lighter or darker areas.
Discover the different colors of sapphire.
The price of gemstones depends on many factors. However, as green sapphire is rarer, its price is generally a little higher than that of blue sapphire. Blue-green sapphire is quite rare, but not the most expensive, mainly due to lower demand than the more classic sapphires.
High-quality green sapphires cost more than most other sapphires, but it is quite possible for a green sapphire to be less expensive than an exceptional blue sapphire (or pink sapphire), for example. Compared with emerald, to which it is often compared, a top-quality green sapphire tends to cost less for the same weight.

Green sapphire is a rare stone, and is essentially a sapphire from Madagascar or Sri Lanka, the major sapphire-producing countries. Other countries, however, also have sapphire mines.
The best-known sapphire is blue, but this gemstone actually comes in a multitude of colors. The presence of elements such as vanadium varies the hues. The green of sapphire itself varies: apple green, mint green, olive green... Some more intense green sapphires resemble emeralds.
We source our green sapphires via a short circuit, which means there are no middlemen. If you like this shade, you can also discover our teal sapphires, combining blue and green. A blue-green sapphire, for those who like colors between two hues, is particularly sumptuous and catches the eye well with white gold or platinum. For the creation of a green or blue-green sapphire engagement ring, nature is frequently a source of inspiration, even if the designs can be close to those made with more traditional sapphires.

Theadvantages of a green sapphire for an engagement ring.
Diamond engagement rings are the most widespread, but sapphire is extremely coveted. And for some time now, demand has been growing for the creation of engagement rings with green sapphire or blue-green sapphire.
It has to be said that green sapphire is a harder, more resistant stone thanemerald, and offers different, original, delicate shades and variations. Everyone has their own preferences, of course, but you'll find subtle tones between blue and green, while emeralds are, on the whole, a more straightforward green. If there's an aura of power, especially as some stones change hue with the light, blue-green sapphire is often sought specifically for the creation of modern jewelry.
If you like cool tones, the idea of a green sapphire and diamond ring in white gold should appeal to you. This stone also blends perfectly with yellow and rose gold. You have a lot of freedom when it comes to imagining a green sapphire engagement ring, since the stone goes well with all golds and is also cut in many different shapes. In terms of style, a green sapphire engagement ring can be as modern as it is vintage, with or without a diamond band.
Wisdom, loyalty, fidelity and stability are values traditionally associated with sapphire, and the meaning of green sapphire is very similar.
