Scroll down to find out how to wear a sapphire ring to up your glam quotient. 
1. Consider Your Personal Style
This tip only works if you’re yet to buy your sapphire ring. Before buying this precious gemstone, consider your personal style. There are a lot of options available, so to narrow it down choose the setting, style, gemstone shape and the metal for the ring. You can opt for a simple solitaire or one surrounded by a halo of diamonds. Sapphire can be set in any metal of your choice; however, it looks exceptionally stunning when set in white gold or platinum. Remember the design should reflect your personal style.
2. Wear Simple and Sleek Outfits
Sapphire is often called the royal gemstone because of its rich history and association with the kings and queens. The best way to highlight its rich colour is by wearing simple and sleek outfits. This will put the spotlight on its vibrant hue and make your sapphire ring stand out. Having said that, don’t limit yourself to black, white or neutral colours. Complementary colours or contrasting hues will also draw focus to your sapphire ring. Take inspiration from Princess Diana who wore her blue sapphire halo engagement ring with just about every outfit in her wardrobe.
3. Don’t Be Afraid of Experimenting
Big sapphire rings are statement-making pieces that can garner a lot of attention all on their own. However, once in a while if you wish to spruce things up and slip on more rings – do it! Follow the same rule as above. Choose gemstone rings that are either from the same side of the colour spectrum or something simple and versatile. We suggest gemstones like emerald, opal, and blue topaz for an eye-catching look.
4. Wear on the Right Hand’s Middle Finger
In ancient cultures, the sapphire was believed to protect its wearer from envy and harm. This is why it was one of the most beloved gemstones of kings and queens. Today, sapphire rings are worn as a style statement, however, some still believe that it can ward off danger. It is said that wearing a sapphire ring on the middle finger of the right hand will offer protection from negative energies and enemies. People believed this gem could also bring peace and improve decision-making abilities.
