How To Wear Sapphire Jewelry

Now that you know what to buy, let's take a closer look at how you should wear blue sapphire with this handy brief guide!

Choose The Right Metal

As we have already stated, sapphires look great with pretty much every type of precious metal, but in particular, the stone tends to look at its very best when paired with silver tones for a more modern and contemporary look. On the other hand, if you are hoping for something warmer, then a blue sapphire set in yellow or rose gold is equally gorgeous.

Let The Jewels Do The Talking

Don't be tempted to overdress when you are wearing a lot of sapphire jewelry. It is better to let the beautiful gemstone jewelry do the talking otherwise the entire ensemble can start to look a little bit over the top and 'costumey'.

Consult The Color Wheel

When it comes to finding garments and other jewelry items and accessories that work best with sapphires, a great thing to do is consult the classic color wheel. Perhaps surprisingly, the color across from sapphire blue on the wheel is orange, so you might want to consider pairing your sapphires with coral orange to make the biggest impact and really turn some heads! 1-800 Loose Diamonds is very proud of the blue sapphire jewelry in our collection and we invite you to browse.
