Have you ever seen a cranberry red Sapphire? You have now! This amazing Sapphire engagement ring features one of the rare natural Sapphires mined in Songea, Tanzania twenty years ago. The color is best described as a deep purplish red, or cranberry/maroon hue. This color is caused by trace impurities of iron, not chromium, thus this is considered a fancy color Sapphire, not a Ruby. No matter how we classify it, the Sapphire is a highly unusual and beautiful gem, set simply with a frame of baguette Diamonds on either side. This would make a wonderful engagement ring, or alternative birthstone ring for a September baby.
