Blue—it’s the colour of open skies and endless oceans, a colour that exudes both peace and depth. The blue ocean and sky are both vast and unpredictable, yet unmovable. It’ also the colour of a certain ice queen who finds freedom in letting things go… Blue is a shade that holds multitudes.
If you’re dreaming of weaving your love for blue into an engagement ring, you’re not alone. Let’s find the perfect blue stone to match your vision.
We’ve gathered 6 blue stones to choose from. Let’s goooooo!
Blue Sapphire: Gemstone Royalty
At Engage Studio, we’ve crafted engagement rings featuring gemstones of every colour and kind. Each one tells a unique story! In the gemstone world, three reign supreme: emerald, ruby, and blue sapphire.
Out of all the engagement rings with blue stones we’ve done, blue sapphire stands out as the most popular. Blue sapphire has earned its place as one of the most premium gemstones in the world.
When it comes to a blue sapphire engagement ring, you can get a more regal blue, cornflower blue, a ceylon blue. There can also be so much difference in tonality depending on whether you want a lab grown or natural blue sapphire engagement ring.
If you’re into that classic rich blue, ceylon blue (pictured below) would be the one for you.

March babies, rejoice! The March birthstone aquamarine is one of the most delicate and captivating blues out there. With its soft, powdery hue, it’s like capturing a sunny ocean day in a gemstone.
Its sparkle mimics the way sun rays dance off the surface of the sea. Hence the name “aquamarine” 🌊
If this feels like it’s calling your name, then aquamarine is the blue stone for your engagement ring.

Blue Topaz: Go big
We love recommending blue topaz to our clients who are looking for a myriad of colours. Topaz is so readily available that the price point is much lower than some of the other blue stones we’ve mentioned. So if you love an engagement ring with blue stones and want to go bigger in size but stay on budget, blue topaz is a great option. It’s also the birthstone for December!

Blue Zircon: She’s Got A Hint Of Green
Blue Zircon is another birthstone for December! If you want an engagement ring with blue stones with a more teal finish to it, blue zircon is a fantastic choice. It is still an overall blue hue but with hints of turquoise and green, really making the zircon blue a unique one.
Take a look at the blue zircon and her December sister blue topaz. Totally different blue hues! The tonality of blue is definitely a marker of the stone you want to choose.

Blue Moissanite: Unicorn Glimmers
Did you know that moissanite refracts light even faster than a diamond? So, what does that mean for you? It means a dazzling display of rainbow colors shimmering through the stone with every movement.
Mariam lovingly calls it the “unicorn stone” because of its vibrant flashes of colour, with a classic white body. Now, watch how the moissanite takes on a whole other level in the shade of blue.
With blue moissanite, you get a richly saturated blue married to those rainbow flashes. The result? A breathtaking blue stone engagement ring that glimmers with different shades of blue.
