Pink Diamonds vs Pink Saphires

Pink Diamonds

Pink diamonds have long been celebrated as some of the most coveted gemstones and are also among the rarest and priciest. Their scarcity makes them considerably more expensive than white diamonds, with only a few being mined annually. Unfortunately, the exorbitant cost of pink diamonds keeps them out of reach for most jewellery enthusiasts. However, there's an affordable alternative that many choose: pink sapphires. More on pink sapphires below.

 

Pink Diamond Engagement Rings  Pink diamonds are so rare that they are the choice for engagement rings among the world's most famous celebrities. Yet, their price tags are typically only within reach of the wealthy. Pink diamond engagement rings are rarely found for less than $10,000, making them uncommon in most jewellery stores. Thankfully, there are man-made pink diamonds available, providing a more budget-friendly option.

 

Most people initially seeking pink diamond engagement rings now opt for pink sapphire alternatives, which offer both beauty and affordability.

Pink Diamond Wedding Rings  Smaller pink diamonds, though still rare, are more accessible. Selecting a pink diamond wedding ring is an excellent way to avoid the high costs associated with engagement rings. These rings, whether featuring all-pink diamonds or a mix with white diamonds, radiate the allure of pink diamonds.

 

Pink Sapphires - Affordable Alternatives to Pink Diamonds  Natural pink diamonds are stunning but incredibly rare and pricey. Most jewellery stores don’t carry pink diamond engagement rings. As a result, many women now choose pink sapphire engagement rings as a more affordable option. Pink sapphires, natural gemstones with distinctive properties, are ideal for engagement and wedding rings. They come in a variety of colours, sizes, and shapes, including beautiful deep pinks. Priced just above blue sapphires, pink sapphires offer a budget-friendly choice for perfect engagement, dress, or wedding rings.

 

Pink Sapphire Engagement Rings  Pink sapphire engagement rings are breathtaking and come in various designs. They can be solitaire rings or combined with white diamonds or other gemstones to accentuate the pink sapphire's beauty. The popularity of pink sapphires in white gold rings is on the rise, as featured in bridal and fashion magazines. To meet customer demands, we've crafted a range of pink sapphire engagement rings. 

 

Pink Sapphire Wedding Rings  Pink sapphire wedding rings, featuring all-pink sapphires or a combination with white diamonds, provide splendid options for incorporating pink gemstones into wedding rings. Round or square princess-cut pink sapphires are both available choices. You don't need a pink sapphire engagement ring to wear a wedding ring with pink sapphires. Your engagement ring can be entirely diamond or include pink sapphires. 

 

Choosing Between Pink Diamond or Pink Sapphire Engagement Ring  Pink sapphires are the most favoured choice for women's jewellery. They offer a broader colour range, versatility in sizes and shapes, and affordability compared to pink diamonds. Pink sapphires make an excellent option for engagement rings, whether as solitaires or paired with white diamonds. For those specifically searching for pink diamonds, combining smaller, more affordable pink diamonds with white diamonds or pink sapphires can help stay within budget, especially when included in a wedding ring. 

 

Colour Differences Between Pink Sapphires and Pink Diamonds  Pink diamonds typically display pale colours with a slight pink tint, whereas some treated irradiated pink diamonds may be darker. In contrast, pink sapphires offer a wide spectrum of colours, ranging from pale pink to deep hot pink, bordering on red. Deeper pink shades are often more sought after and can command slightly higher prices than their paler counterparts. 

 

Pink Sapphire Styles  Pink Sapphire Rings  Pink sapphires are a fantastic choice for fashion, dress, and right-hand rings. A growing variety of stylish pink sapphire rings is currently available, featuring single or multiple pink sapphires, often partnered with white diamonds in white gold settings. 

Pink Sapphire Earrings  Pink sapphire earrings are becoming increasingly trendy, providing a chic and sophisticated addition to your jewellery collection. 

Pink Sapphire Pendants  Pink sapphires also make an ideal choice for pendants, adding a stylish and elegant touch to your jewellery collection. 

 

What is a Pink Sapphire?  Pink sapphires are a type of gemstone known as corundum, coloured by trace amounts of chromium. They vary in colour from pale pink to deep pink, sometimes even approaching red, at which point they are considered rubies. Sapphires, including pink sapphires, are exceptionally hard gemstones, second only to diamonds, making them suitable for various jewellery pieces. 

 

What are Pink Diamonds?  Diamonds naturally occur in an array of colours, including white, yellow, champagne, brown, black, and pink. Pink diamonds are the rarest of all natural diamond colours. Pink diamonds can be either naturally pink, irradiated to achieve the pink hue, or lab-created. Natural pink diamonds are the most expensive, while lab-grown options provide a more budget-friendly alternative. Ensure you ask jewellers for clarification regarding pink diamonds to know precisely what type you're considering. 

 

How to Clean Your Pink Sapphire Jewellery  Caring for sapphire jewellery is crucial. Store your jewellery separately to avoid scratching or tangling. Refrain from wearing sapphire jewellery during heavy or manual work. Regularly visit your jeweller for professional cleaning and to check the security of the setting. At home, you can clean your jewellery with mild soapy water, a solution of water and household ammonia, or a reputable liquid jewellery cleaner.
