20. Pay Attention to Color!
If you are purchasing a sapphire engagement ring over the Internet, be very careful with the color! Check the brightness of your smart device to be sure you are picking out the right color for your partner, so you won't be surprised when you receive it. Be sure to do your research and use high-quality photos when comparing what you want. Good Luck!

23. Fractured Filling
When purchasing sapphire engagement rings be sure to ask if the gemstone has been filled with a glass that will camouflage breaks. Most jewelers tend to fill these gemstones with this filling to avoid the breaks from showing. What this technique does is improve the appearance of the beautiful gemstone. It is better to enhance the appearance of the gemstone in a natural way, such as heating!
24. After-Care
There are many different ways you can clean sapphire engagement rings, once you get the big "Yes", but the most effective way is by taking a bowl filled with warm water and a tiny bit of soap, while also having a bristled toothbrush in hand. Gently scrub away any dirt or grime from the ring. Once you have gotten all the dirt off the beautiful ring, rinse and pat the ring with a clean cloth. It will look brand shining new!
