DIANA - Princess Diana Inspired Blue Sapphire & Lab Diamond Platinum Engagement Ring
Compare the stone arrangement and complete dimensions, with fit and care checked for this selected design.
View this designBlue sapphire engagement rings bring a timeless depth of colour to contemporary jewellery. Explore lab-grown blue sapphires in platinum and gold, from Princess Diana-inspired halos to refined solitaires and diamond-set shoulders. The precise shade can vary from softer cornflower blue to a richer royal tone, with the stone's cut and the surrounding metal shaping its appearance.
A blue sapphire gives a familiar engagement ring silhouette a distinctive centre. This collection focuses on blue designs, so you can compare the details that make each ring feel different: the gemstone outline, the contrast of accent diamonds and the colour of the metal around it.
A blue sapphire solitaire gives the gemstone a clear, uncluttered setting. A diamond halo creates a bright border, while shoulder set designs carry sparkle along the band. The DIANA design offers an oval sapphire framed by lab grown diamonds; compare it with the more open outline of a solitaire if you are choosing between a decorative frame and a simpler composition.
Round stones create a balanced outline. Oval and pear shapes draw the eye along the finger, while rectangular cuts bring a more architectural character. Compare the listed millimetre measurements as well as the carat weight, and view the ring from the side to assess the setting height. Product and model photographs may show a different stone size from your selected option.
Platinum and white gold give blue sapphire a cool, bright surround. Yellow gold adds warmth and a stronger colour contrast; rose gold creates a softer pairing. Use the metal and style filters to narrow your selection, then check the specifications of the individual ring, including whether its accent diamonds are natural or lab grown.
Confirm your ring size and consider how the engagement ring will sit beside a wedding band. The sapphire is resistant to scratching, but the setting and gemstone still need protection from impact and regular care. Our team can help compare two designs, explain the proportions and confirm sizing options for the ring you love.
If your colour choice is still open, explore sapphire engagement rings in other colours before returning to your favourite blue design.

Blue sapphire comes in a lovely range of shades, from softer cornflower tones to deep, dramatic blues. We'd encourage you to compare the actual stones in daylight and indoor light, as a very dark blue can appear almost inky in subdued conditions. Yellow gold brings warmth, while platinum and white gold create a cooler contrast. If you're considering a different colour of corundum, our lab-grown ruby engagement rings offer a beautiful red alternative.
Yes. Lab-grown blue sapphire is genuine sapphire, made of corundum, with the same essential mineral composition as natural blue sapphire. The difference is that it is grown in a laboratory. We'd look beyond the origin to the actual shade, transparency and cut, because those are the characteristics you'll notice when the ring is worn. Our jewellery specialists can explain the individual stone specification if you're comparing several shades of blue.
Blue sapphire is a very appealing choice for an everyday engagement ring because it is hard and resists scratching well. That doesn't make it immune to chips or knocks, particularly at exposed corners. We'd look at whether the stone is held in claws or a bezel and consider the wearer's routine. You can explore other setting styles within our coloured gemstone engagement rings if you'd like to compare how much protection each provides.
Our jewellery specialists would be delighted to help you compare designs at our London or Manchester showrooms, or in a virtual consultation.
