Blue Sapphire Rings by David West

For thousands of years, rings have been more than just adornment. They have been symbols of authority, symbols of promises, and even legally binding signatures. Today rings still speak volumes about you. Our blue sapphire rings are as eloquent as they are beautiful and always one of a kind. Choose peridot and sterling silver or green amethyst and platinum: it's your choice. Mix and match gems and precious metals for a look that's exactly you. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from an engagement or Mother's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Our amazing array of designs by talented jewelry designers like Martha Gomez Gutierrez, Gemvara Essentials, David West, and others means you can find blue sapphire rings that you can't find anywhere else. Because all Gemvara blue sapphire rings are made from scratch to your specifications, we can hand-select the finest quality gems and recycled precious metals to perfectly suit your design. Sapphire reflects the purity of royal ocean blue. When washing your hands, don't leave any rings on the rim of a sink where they can slip down the drain! Clean blue sapphire rings in a bowl of water with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's exceptional heirloom-quality blue sapphire rings are designed to be passed down for generations, crafted by hand in the United States.

David West's striking jewelry designs have often been described as architectural, perhaps because at a young age his architect grandfather taught him to appreciate form, space, line, and proportion, as well as a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. A passionate designer, master goldsmith, gemologist, and entrepreneur, David has been involved in nearly every aspect of design during his long career. After training at Rhode Island School of Design and Rochester Institute of Technology's School for the American Crafts, he launched his career as a jewelry designer. In 1985, David won the prestigious De Beers Diamonds Today Award. One of the first designers to use computer-aided design, David continues to innovate today. As you might expect from such a distinguished career, David's designs are very refined and elegant, with pure clean lines. He strives to create beautiful classic jewelry items that stand the test of time.

Blue sapphire is considered the gemstone of truth, the original "true blue." In ancient times, a gift of a sapphire was a pledge of honesty and devotion. Kate Middleton's blue sapphire engagement ring is the latest in a long tradition of royal sapphires. Sapphire comes from the Greek word "sappheiros," meaning blue, so it's no surprise that blue is the most popular color for a sapphire. When shopping for blue sapphire jewelry, the most important factors to consider are quality, color and cut of the sapphire. The more vibrant and bright the hue, the more valuable the blue sapphire will be. Also, the larger the carat weight, the more the blue sapphire will cost per carat. Before their final polish, most blue sapphires are heat-enhanced to almost 2,000 degrees in order to improve the color and clarity. This stable treatment does not require special care and does not reduce the gem's value. Sapphire is the September birthstone, the 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Virgo. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality blue sapphire will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine blue sapphire jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
