Men's Sapphire Ring

Secrets and legends have always gathered around sapphire. Once it was allowed to wear exclusively monarchs. Some historians claim that a gold ring with sapphire decorated the hand of Alexander the Great himself. It is also believed that the tables with the biblical commandments were also made of sapphire plates.

Contemporaries believe that a sapphire ring may belong to a strong-willed, self-confident person, but with a sense of justice. It is believed that a man who owns such a decoration is able to make well-considered decisions and can deal with it.

In Greek, the word sapphire means "blue stone." And many habitually believe that sapphire is exclusively blue. However, its natural color can be very different. All sorts of impurities of foreign elements provide sapphires with a huge range of colors and shades. Their number is so huge that it is almost impossible to pick up a pair even for a small stone, if required by the product design.

The traditional blue color is provided to the stone by impurities of titanium and iron in it. It is believed that it is blue sapphires that give harmony and tranquility. This shade is valued in jewelry above all. By the way, blue sapphires have the properties of a chameleon - they are able to change their shade depending on the type of lighting. In bright sunlight, their color is deep blue, and in electric light, they can change to lilac - purple.

However, in nature there are also white, and yellow, and orange, and even sapphires with pink and red color, depending on the amount of impurities of chromium and iron. White sapphires symbolize care and mercy. Yellow stones suggest in their owner the presence of wisdom and high position in society. And pink sapphires mean ease in relationships, love and tenderness.

Despite the fact that men's fashion has always been considered more conservative than women’s, with each passing day men of the stronger sex are becoming more discriminating in jewelry and often they are no longer satisfied with traditional forms and designs. Therefore, artists are constantly looking for new original solutions for the manufacture of men's rings with sapphires, while trying to maintain the restraint inherent in men's jewelry, the severity and conciseness of the lines.

The most popular is the combination of blue sapphire with white metal. The most elegant and most expensive samples are made of platinum and white gold. In such rings and seals, sapphire often performs as a duet with diamonds. However, men's rings with sapphires and cubic zirconias framed in silver are no less popular.

The most popular form of sapphire in jewelry is the traditional hex. It is believed that it is this cut that reflects and refracts the rays of light in its edges and provides the very magical glow around the stone itself. Sapphire looks great in rings of palladium and tungsten. By the way, tungsten products are massive not only in appearance, but also by weight. Therefore, such a ring can be worn only by a real man, strong not only in character, but also physically.

Men's sapphire ring is a versatile jewel.It can be worn with a strict suit, and with a jumper, and with a tailcoat. For special occasions, you can pick up cufflinks or a clip for a tie with a stone in harmony with sapphire in the ring.

Now in mass production mainly artificial sapphires are offered. However, this does not mean that they are not real. They are made in special laboratories using various chemicals that are placed under certain conditions. The structure, composition and properties of artificial stones are no different from those created by nature. It is possible to distinguish synthetic sapphire from natural only if there are typical inclusions in the stone. This can only be done by a specialist.

Experts recommend wearing a sapphire ring in white metal, preferably in winter. Its blue shine will be combined with white snow. For summer, jewelers offer a collection of rings in red or yellow gold. True, such combinations of colors are more often found in women's jewelry than in men's rings.
