Men donning sapphire jewelry has long been a symbol of status, in addition to the
more superstitious belief in the positive luck and protection that sapphires allegedly
bring.
Let’s explore the idea of modern sapphire jewelry, and whether it might be a good
choice for the man in your life!
Pros & Cons of Choosing Sapphire Jewelry
Oftentimes, the image conjured up when someone says sapphire is a blue gemstone, though there are many color options available. Pink, orange, purple, and even yellow sapphires can be found on the market, and while blue sapphires remain the most sought after, each color offers a uniquely gorgeous aesthetic. As they come in such
bold colors, rings with sapphire stones are extra noticeable and appealing, especially for men who desire a bit of flash. They are also a great choice for men who need their ring to be sturdy enough to withstand rough day-to-day activities: sapphires are one of the highest rated gemstones on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, alongside diamonds.
Sapphires cheaper than diamonds
While sapphires are a precious gemstone, they still ring in cheaper than the lofty cost of diamonds. Understandably, this affordability adds to the allure of choosing a sapphire as your gem of choice. Not to mention, as the color palate of these gemstones is so diverse, they can be paired with a whole range of different metals and still shine beautifully. This versatility allows them to pair well with other types of gemstones as well, leaving no doubt that the man can choose the exact perfect combination of stones and metal to suit his style.
Sapphire, everyday accessory in a man’s life
Keep in mind, there are no definitive rules when it comes to sapphires. While diamonds are usually connected to themes of love and marriage, sapphires are appropriate at any time—and any finger—in a man’s life. Men who regularly wear rings often understand sapphires as everyday accessories, either to be dressed up or dressed down. That is not to say they cannot be used for big, special occasions—many men decide sapphires are the perfect stone for men’s wedding ring. Sapphire is the birthstone for September, as well as the star sign Virgo, and sometimes
men choose to wear a sapphire as a way of representing their partner.
Basically, follow your heart when it comes to deciding on a sapphire. Don’t feel confined by expectation or trend—do what feels right to you.
