Visit the experts in Color: FWC Jewelers

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.
