Diamonds are timeless. Sapphires are vibrant and full of personality. But how do you decide which is right for your engagement ring? At Pel & Co., we help you make that choice with confidence, using heirloom-quality gemstones and in-house craftsmanship.

1. Durability & Everyday Wear

• Diamonds are the hardest gemstone, making them perfect for daily wear.

• Sapphires are also extremely durable (9/10 on the Mohs scale) and can withstand everyday life beautifully.

2. Color & Personality

• Diamonds sparkle in classic white, champagne, or fancy colors.

• Sapphires range from deep blue to pink, yellow, or even rare teal. Choosing sapphire adds personality and uniqueness to your ring.

3. Symbolism

• Diamonds symbolize eternal love and commitment.

• Sapphires represent wisdom, loyalty, and sincerity — a meaningful alternative for couples seeking something distinctive.

4. Cost & Value

• Depending on size and quality, sapphires can be more affordable than diamonds of comparable beauty.

• At Pel & Co., sourcing directly from trusted suppliers in the USA ensures luxury-quality gems without the heavy markups.

Why Pel & Co. Makes the Choice Easy

Most jewelers outsource overseas, which can increase costs, timelines, and risk. At Pel & Co.:

• Every ring is handcrafted in the USA by real people who care.

• You see sketches, CAD models, and gemstone options before we ever start production.

• You get heirloom-quality craftsmanship with personal attention to every detail.
