Blue Sapphire Rings 

Kate Middleton's 12-carat oval sapphire engagement ring is a masterclass in luxury and love. But what makes sapphires so special? Well, they symbolise honesty, sincerity, and good fortune - a solid foundation for any marriage. Plus, they're steeped in royal history and mystique, promising hope, faith, and celestial protection.

Princess Diana's iconic ring, now worn by Kate, is a stunning example. It's all over the internet and Princess Diana inspired rings are riding the trends like none other! And Princess Anne's blue gem is another royal seal of approval. But guess what makes blue sapphires so coveted? Their velvety color, with hints of ultraviolet, and the rarity of course! 

So, if you want a ring that's fit for a queen, consider joining the royal ranks with a blue sapphire.

Ruby Rings

Rubies have long been a royal obsession! From Burmese warriors to Indian maharajas, rubies have been prized for their status and opulence. Take for example, Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur's. His extensive ruby collection is legendary, and we also have the Nizam of Hyderabad's treasury that boasted exquisite ruby jewellery. Even, Maharani Gayatri Devi, the last Maharani of Jaipur, often wore stunning ruby pieces, showcasing her royal heritage. British royals loved them too! Princess Margaret's ruby ring sold for $550,000, and Sarah, Duchess of York's engagement ring featured precious Burmese rubies. Even today, rubies shine bright in modern royal collections, like Queen Maxima's stunning ruby and diamond ring.

So you see, this majestic gemstone has been a royal favourite for centuries, and it's easy to see why. Its allure is undeniable, history is fascinating, and the beauty is simply breathtaking. And if you still want an alternative, try out Garnet engagement rings! 

Did You Know? 

The oldest coronation ring in the British Royal collection was worn by James II in 1685, featuring a large violet ruby surrounded by diamonds. It is also known as the stuart ring and is currently on loan to Edinburgh Castle. 

Emerald Rings

Thinking of emeralds, they're such a symbol of life and renewal! From their name to their rarity and historical significance, emeralds are royal gems, no doubt! Take Cleopatra, for instance - she was obsessed with emeralds, which were mined in ancient Egypt. In India, emeralds, known as "Panna" and are highly valued for their supposed mystical and astrological properties, often used in talismans to bring good fortune. In Hindu beliefs, emeralds are linked with lord Krishna, representing knowledge and spiritual elevation, and are a key part of the Navaratna gem setting. Even in Islamic culture, they're a symbol of paradise and the divine - the Prophet Muhammad's cloak was even emerald green! Arab rulers, Mughal emperors and the Nizams of Hyderabad loved showing off their immense wealth and status with intricate emerald jewellery, and their designs still influence Indian jewellery today. And let's not forget the Bible, where emeralds are mentioned in the high priest's breastplate and symbolise resurrection and hope. 

With their vibrant green color representing life and renewal, it's no wonder emeralds remain a coveted gemstone and emerald engagement styles like Lab-Grown-Emerald-Cut Emerald Halo Twisted Shank  and Nature Inspired Round Emerald Leaf Shank Ring are a best-seller! 

As an alternative to emeralds, you can also go with a Vintage Inspired Round Peridot and Diamond ring. 

Tanzanite Rings 

Always remember — Rare is regal. And Tanzanite is a gemstone, so rare it's found in only one tiny spot on Earth - a mere seven square kilometers on the foothills of a mountain in Tanzania! That makes it thousand times rarer than diamonds. And get this - it's a relatively new discovery, but it could become extinct soon because of its limited source. What makes tanzanite truly special is its trichroism, meaning it appears blue, violet, and burgundy depending on the angle. However, the vivid blue variety is the real showstopper - it's giving sapphires a run for their popularity! While tanzanite may not have the same rich history as other royal gems, its uniqueness, rarity, and growing popularity make it a sought-after choice for those who want a one-of-a-kind, elegant look. 

From the classic designs like Tanzanite Cocktail Ring with Diamond Floral Halo to something as whimsical as the Aquamarine and Tanzanite Butterfly Bypass Ring or Square & Trillion Tanzanite Sagittarius Ring with Diamonds— Angara boasts a collection of this rare gem like none other! 

And above all — who wouldn't want a gemstone that's truly one in a million?
