While blue sapphires are the most well-known, pink sapphires are also becoming increasingly popular, particularly as a cheaper alternative to pink diamonds.

Pink sapphires symbolize faith, fidelity, sincerity, and passionate love in many civilizations. This is why they have become a popular option for engagement rings, especially for brides who want something special and feminine. Natural pink sapphires are a perfect choice for blush or baby pink wedding themes.

Pink sapphires are cheaper than pink diamonds partly because of the greater rarity of the gems. The pink sapphire is more common as it forms closer to the surface than the diamond, which forms in the depths of the ground. Pink sapphires are no less expensive and beautiful. Depending on their size, quality, and the intensity of their color, some pink sapphires can be just as rare, valuable, and of the same quality as a diamond.
