sapphire head on

FWC Jewelers is a destination store for alternative engagement rings featuring natural colored gemstones, like Sapphire Engagement Rings. We have a wide variety of pre-made colored gemstone engagement rings in stock, but we also have a large inventory of fine and exotic unmounted gemstones for clients to choose from. Selecting a colored gemstone for an engagement ring should be a fun and creative process, and we look forward to helping you find your perfect gem. 

During the design process, we work to build a ring that meets your aesthetic or find a pre-made mounting that makes the gem look its best. In addition, we will try to learn more about the wearers’ lifestyle such that we can guide the client toward certain gem varieties or mounting styles that will hold up for the long term. Some of our favorite gems for engagement rings are the various colors of Sapphire and Ruby, whose durability make them ideal ring gems. We also stock other durable gems, such as Spinel, Emerald, Morganite, Tourmaline, Garnet, Topaz, Alexandrite and more for those looking for that perfect color.

Are your gemstones natural or lab-created?
We offer primarily natural gemstones. Each gemstone is selected individually from lapidaries, miners, and collectors around the world in a mix of varieties, sizes, and qualities to meet most budgets. We are proud to know the provenance and origin of each gem we sell, thus offering only ethically sourced gemstones. The only synthetic colored gems we sell are those found in original vintage pieces, or those ordered by a client via special request; these will always be clearly noted as synthetic. We proudly carry true synthetic diamonds, also known as lab grown diamonds, as well as the diamond simulant Moissanite; both of which are lab-created options for budget-minded consumers.
