Best Sapphire Cut for Engagement Ring

 There is no one standard cut for sapphires. This is in contrast to diamonds' famous round cut. Each sapphire must be cut individually to ensure the highest quality color and brilliance. Because of the wide variety of colors available in sapphires, each one has its own unique characteristics, it's more difficult to cut an engagement ring for them than for diamonds. Because there is no standardization in sapphire cut, jewelers often set their own standards.

A well-cut sapphire should display the color of the gemstone, which is the most important aspect in determining its value. It will also enhance the gem's natural brilliance and luster. A sapphire with a darker color will often be cut deeper to increase its dimension and intensity. However, a sapphire with a more intense color will be cut lower to let more light reflect inside the gem, softening or brightening it.

No matter the shape of the sapphire, the engagement rings should be perfectly symmetrical. The facets at the top of the gemstone must also be equally sized, shaped, and located. The crown's largest facet, the table, should be well-centered so that bright flashes of color can be produced when the sapphire is tilted or rocked.

The emerald is the most popular engagement ring for a sapphire. It has clean lines and elegant simplicity. This shape is expensive and therefore not recommended for budget-minded people. Because it is ideally suited to diamonds, but also because of its optical brilliance, the round brilliant cut is the most popular sapphire cut. Although a cushion-cut sapphire can be a great choice for an engagement ring, it is rare. The Logan Sapphire, the world's largest cut sapphire, is also a cushion cut.

There is no right or wrong way to choose the perfect engagement ring for your sapphire. However, in some cases, it will depend on how much you can afford. It is mostly a matter of personal preference. If you feel it looks the best, then it doesn’t matter what others think.
