Sapphire Engagement Rings

In modern times the most sought after center stone is a diamond, and it has become a standard request at Knox Jewelers for an engagement ring. However, a growing percentage of couples are opting to include rich colored sapphires to their custom created rings.
Throughout the ages, sapphires have come to represent faithfulness and loyalty, hence their wide use in bridal jewelry. Recent events in history have also linked sapphires to the ideals of romance and royalty.
