Men's ring with sapphire

Mysteries and legends have always condensed around sapphire. Once it was allowed to be worn exclusively by monarchs. Some historians claim that a gold ring with a sapphire adorned the hand of Alexander the Great himself. There is also an opinion that the tablets with biblical commandments were also made of sapphire plates.

Contemporaries believe that a sapphire ring can belong to a strong-willed, self-confident person, but at the same time possessing a sense of justice. It is believed that a man who owns such an ornament is able to make informed decisions and can be dealt with.

In Greek, the word sapphire means "blue stone". And many people habitually believe that sapphire is exclusively blue. However, its natural color can be very different. All kinds 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 find a pair even for a small stone, if the design of the product requires it.

The traditional blue color is provided to the stone by the 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 under electric lighting, they can change to lilac-violet.

However, in nature there are 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 a 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, every day the representatives of the stronger sex are becoming more choosy 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 lines.

The most popular is the combination of blue sapphire with white metal. The most luxurious and most expensive pieces are made of platinum and white gold. In such rings and seals, sapphire often pairs with diamonds. However, men's rings with sapphires and cubic zirkonia framed in silver are no less popular.

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

Men's ring with sapphire is a universal decoration. 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 tie clip with a stone in harmony with the 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 in certain conditions. According to their structure, composition and properties, artificial stones are no different from those created by nature. Synthetic sapphire can be distinguished 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 sheen will match the white snow. For summer, jewelers offer a collection of rings in red or yellow gold. True, such color combinations are more common in women's jewelry than in men's rings.
