Sapphires have long been revered as one of the most enchanting gemstones in the world. Their deep, mesmerizing hues and timeless elegance have made them a favourite among royalty, celebrities, and jewellery enthusiasts alike.
In 2025, sapphire jewellery is poised to take centre stage, offering a perfect blend of sophistication, versatility, and modern appeal. Whether you’re drawn to their rich symbolism, their stunning beauty, or their ability to complement any style, sapphires are undoubtedly some of the most defining pieces of the year.
What Makes Sapphires Special?
Sapphires are more than just beautiful gemstones; they are steeped in history, symbolism, and unparalleled allure. Known for their striking blue hue, sapphires actually come in a spectrum of colours, including pink, yellow, green, and even the rare padparadscha, a delicate blend of pink and orange. This versatility makes sapphires a gemstone that can suit any taste or occasion.
One of the most captivating aspects of sapphires is their durability. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphires are second only to diamonds, making them an excellent choice for everyday wear. This durability, combined with their timeless beauty, ensures that sapphire jewellery can be passed down through generations as cherished heirlooms.
Sapphires also carry deep symbolism. Historically, they have been associated with wisdom, nobility, and divine favour. In ancient times, sapphires were believed to protect their wearers from harm and envy. Today, they are often seen as a symbol of loyalty, truth, and sincerity, making them a popular choice for engagement rings and meaningful gifts.
Why Sapphire Jewellery Could Define 2025
In 2025, sapphire jewellery is set to make a strong comeback, and for good reason. As fashion trends lean towards bold, statement pieces and timeless elegance, sapphires offer the perfect balance of both. Their rich, vibrant colours add a pop of sophistication to any outfit, while their classic appeal ensures they never go out of style.
Sapphires are also incredibly versatile. They can be paired with diamonds for a luxurious look, set in modern, geometric designs for a contemporary edge, or featured in vintage-inspired pieces for a touch of old-world charm. This adaptability makes sapphire jewellery a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their collection.
Moreover, sapphires are increasingly being chosen for engagement rings and wedding bands, as couples seek alternatives to traditional diamond rings. A sapphire engagement ring is not only unique but also carries a deeper meaning, symbolizing a love that is as enduring and rare as the gemstone itself.
Our Favourite Pieces of Sapphire Jewellery
At London DE, we pride ourselves on creating exquisite sapphire jewellery that combines exceptional craftsmanship with timeless design. Here are some of our favourite pieces from Sylvera that showcase the beauty and versatility of sapphires:
The Despres Ring
At the apex of Sylvera’s collection lies the Despres Ring, a striking and bold statement piece inspired by the legendary Art Deco designer Jean Despres. This captivating design features a radiant-cut sapphire at its centre, flanked by two rows of sparkling white diamonds that frame and highlight the sapphire's vibrant colour.
The Despres Ring draws inspiration from Jean Despres’ experience working in aircraft factories during World War I, where he was influenced by utilitarian materials and bold shapes. His friendship with Cubist artists like Georges Braque also played a role in shaping his distinct style. Sylvera’s Despres Ring combines these influences, blending bold geometrical patterns with the timeless elegance of sapphires. The result is a piece that is both modern and classic, perfect for those who want to make a statement.

The centrepiece is a breathtaking sapphire, chosen for its unique colour and brilliance. The sapphire is surrounded by a halo of smaller diamonds, adding to the ring's radiant allure. After careful consideration, the client opted for a thinner platinum band, allowing the sapphire and diamond halo to be the star of the show. The result is a stunning, personalized piece that perfectly captures the client’s vision and love story.
