18k Yellow Gold Custom Solitaire Purple Sapphire Engagement Ring
Item #102401 $3,769 Price does not include center stoneEngagement Ring Description
Sapphire Solitaire
A ring with a single stone, or solitaire, is a traditional choice when it comes to engagement rings. However, this piece introduces a twist by using a sapphire instead of a diamond as the solitaire stone. Purple sapphires in particular are associated with love, kindness, and strength, and they are thought to bring joy as well.
The sapphire used in this ring exhibits a beautiful light purple color, and the minimalist design of the setting allows for maximum exposure to light to help it really shine. The use of a three prong setting also highlights the triangular shape of the trillion cut, making for a lovely presentation all around.
Gemstone and Metal Choices
A design like this offers many opportunities for you to include something of personal significance. For instance, you could choose to replace the purple sapphire with another shade, or with another type of gemstone entirely. Birthstones are always a good choice when you want something that will bring added meaning to a piece, or you could simply choose a favorite color.
Switching to a different type of metal for the band will also change the overall look and feel of the ring. For instance, rose or yellow gold bring warmth and take things in a more vintage or classical direction, depending on the other features they’re combined with. Design Your Own Engagement Ring
Custom Wedding Sets
Because you’ll likely be wearing your wedding and engagement rings together for many years to come, it’s a good idea to have them made together. This ensures that they line up just right, and that all features match perfectly. Matching Wedding Sets
Our experts can help you determine which features to use on both pieces and where to place them to create the most impressive possible presentation when the two are combined. And if you want to have the option of wearing the rings separately as well, we’ll make sure they’re stunning stand alone pieces too.
Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
