Sapphire Antique and Vintage Jewelry

Sapphires have long been the gemstone of choice for those seeking a blend of royal heritage and enduring durability, making them a cornerstone of the vintage and antique jewelry market. Unlike modern stones, these treasures often feature rare, untreated sapphires from legendary mines in Kashmir, Burma (Myanmar), and Ceylon (Sri Lanka), showcasing a spectrum of colors beyond the classic royal blue, including vivid pinks, velvety purples, and ethereal teals.

Whether set in buttery 18ct yellow gold or sleek platinum, vintage sapphire jewelry—particularly engagement rings—symbolizes wisdom, virtue, and a timeless elegance that contemporary mass-produced pieces rarely replicate. Collectors often seek out specific styles such as cluster (daisy) rings, target settings, or navette shapes, each carrying a piece of history from its respective decade.
