Our Fine Jewellery auctions have achieved outstanding results for sapphire rings. From antique Victorian designs to contemporary statement rings, Dawsons continues to deliver exceptional prices for our clients. View our full archive of past sale highlights, and see what your pieces could be worth.
The value of your sapphire ring depends on several factors including the colour, clarity, carat weight, and whether the sapphire is natural or treated. Rings with certification, particularly from reputable gem labs, often achieve higher results. Our experts can provide a free, no-obligation valuation to help you understand its current market value.
While certification isn’t essential, it can help maximise the value of your ring at auction. If your sapphire is uncertified, our specialists will still provide a professional appraisal based on their expert knowledge and market data.

Sapphire rings have captivated collectors and jewellery lovers for centuries, admired for their timeless beauty and exceptional durability. Most commonly associated with a deep royal blue hue, sapphires also occur in a range of colours — from vibrant pinks and rich yellows to the rare and sought-after Padparadscha, a stunning blend of pink and orange.
Origin plays a key role in a sapphire’s value. Stones from Kashmir, Burma (Myanmar), and Sri Lanka are especially prized, often commanding higher prices at auction. The presence or absence of heat treatment, which enhances colour and clarity, is also significant — untreated sapphires are rarer and tend to achieve premium results.
Whether set in antique Victorian clusters, Art Deco designs, or contemporary solitaire settings, sapphire rings remain a symbol of sophistication and enduring appeal. At Dawsons, our specialists have in-depth knowledge of sapphires and their market, ensuring your piece is expertly appraised and positioned to attract the right buyers globally.
