Why Rose Gold and Sapphire Creates the Perfect Engagement Ring Duo

While gold dominates the jewelry industry, rose gold offers a softer and romantic alternative for couples seeking for unique engagement ring. As a designer, I’ve always thought sapphires and rose gold were the perfect ring duo, effortlessly complementing each other and bringing out their natural radiance. Rose gold gives sapphires an elegant but intimate feel, ideal if you’re a fan of whimsical or fairytale engagement rings. 

At Valley Rose, our engagement rings are handcrafted by artisans using fairmined gold and ethically sourced sapphires from small-scale artisanal miners. Our Australian and Montana sapphires are fully traceable with a low environmental impact. In this post, I’m sharing the reasons why a romantic rose gold and sapphire engagement ring might be your perfect match if you’re getting ready to pop the question.

Why Rose Gold is the Perfect Match for Sapphires

You can find sapphires in a rainbow of colors, although blue and green sapphires are considered the most popular. The warm undertones of rose gold create a striking contrast with sapphires, whether you’ve fallen in love with a romantic pink sapphire or a nature-inspired green gemstone.

Although we often think of rose gold as being a modern jewelry trend, this metal adds an old-world charm to timeless silhouettes, such as our ‘Edie Emerald Cut Green Sapphire Engagement Ring’. It can also help bring out the natural radiance of your chosen sapphire, perfect for a couple searching for a whimsical engagement ring. 

One of the reasons why rose gold remains popular is its versatility. It’s universally flattering and compliments almost every skin tone, ideal if you’re not a firm fan of either yellow gold or silver.

Popular Sapphire Colors & Rose Gold Pairings

Although sapphires come in a variety of colors, there are some specific hues that suit rose gold better than others. Green and teal sapphire rings, like our ‘Claire Pearl Teal Sapphire Engagement Ring’, can even get a modern upgrade with a rose gold finish, ideal if you have your heart set on a nature-inspired ring.

Bi-color sapphires are another popular pairing with rose gold, as the warmer metal can help bring out the individual hues within the stone. Blue sapphires, the most popular of them all, are also a great pairing with rose gold as the pink hues of the metal give the stone a warmer look and a whimsical feel.
