Ring Studio For Aquamarine Gemstones

Sapphires have captivated jewellery lovers for millennia, prized above all for their extraordinary depth of colour, remarkable durability, and exceptional rarity in the finest quality. At Hatton Garden Bespoke Jewellery, we specialise in creating bespoke sapphire engagement rings and fine jewellery commissions that celebrate the unique character of these magnificent gemstones, combining the world’s finest certified sapphires with exceptional British craftsmanship.

The blue sapphire is the most celebrated variety, ranging from the palest powder blue to the deep, velvety cornflower blue that defines the finest Kashmir and Ceylon specimens. The most sought-after shade is a medium to medium-dark, vivid, pure blue known as “cornflower blue”, famously represented by the iconic sapphire at the centre of the engagement ring once worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, and now worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales. This ring — an oval blue sapphire surrounded by a halo of round brilliant diamonds in 18ct white gold — remains the single most iconic engagement ring in the world and continues to inspire countless bespoke commissions at HGBJ.

Beyond the classic blue, sapphires occur in an extraordinary range of colours, collectively known as fancy sapphires. Pink, peach, yellow, green, teal, and purple sapphires are all available, as well as the extraordinarily rare Padparadscha sapphire — a unique pinkish-orange stone found only in Sri Lanka. All sapphires share the corundum mineral structure that gives them a Mohs hardness rating of 9 out of 10, making them exceptionally durable and well-suited to everyday wear in an engagement ring.

Our sapphire engagement ring commissions begin with the selection of a stone from our carefully curated inventory. Each sapphire is hand-selected by our expert gemologists and accompanied by a certificate from a leading independent laboratory such as the GIA, Gübelin, or SSEF. We then design a bespoke setting — whether a classic platinum and diamond halo, a sleek solitaire in yellow gold, or a vintage-inspired three-stone design — crafted to perfectly showcase the colour and character of the chosen stone.
