Diamonds only are traditional for engagement rings. Lately I have been seeing Rubies or Saphires also in engagement ring settings. I think the large diamond between two smaller Saphires look nice. Any thoughts?

your engagement ring is entirely a personal choice.
I've seen many, and actually the diamond is only very recently become the norm. Prior to 1950, there were many styles of rings and stones. The diamond became popular in the 50's/60's.
Engagement rings were also not very common - only the wedding band.

right here is an exciting little bit of minutiae for you. Diamonds have basically been "the classic stone" for wedding ceremony rings because of the fact the Thirties or so. that's while De Beers, the main important diamond miners interior the international, all started an extremely slick merchandising campaign that lined diffused placement in video clips. without notice all the flicks, magazines, and books had engagement rings be diamond basically. you recognize how human beings like to repeat the flicks, so the belief unfold like wildflower. the present classified ads, including "how else can 2 month's sales final continuously" and "a diamond is continuously" are continuations of this preliminary merchandising campaign. in the previous this, engagement rings have been made up of any and all kinds of stones and gemstones. So rather, diamond-basically rings are not very classic. i think of the rings you related to are super! do not pay attention to anybody who factors any grief for having an engagement ring that's not basically a diamond.

I would do the opposite. Set the sapphire between two smaller diamonds would look nicer. That way the color of the sapphire would be given center stage. Sapphires generally have a good coloration, while diamonds are more subtle.

I absolutely love sapphire with diamonds. There's also a trillium cut, unless you specifically want a princess cut...

Very nice once you pick out the diamond that will be an expensive and awesome ring.

I think it is a beautiful combination. When i think of diamonds all by itself I find it kind of boring and old because it seems everyone wears the same thing, so yes, if it is given to you with love and you love it wear it with pride.

I was originally against this look but I have been won over. It's cute and unusual. My favorite is the blue saphires.

It looks beautiful, it will make the diamond stand out too.

It is beautiful. My friend wore a sapphire engagement ring, and it was so gorgeous. Best wishes.
