Why Teal Sapphire Engagement Rings Are Rising in Popularity, and What Clients Are Asking for Next

Ask Cathy, the designer behind Ma Folie, what clients are drawn to lately and her answer is immediate: “Teal sapphires.” But don’t mistake that for trend-chasing. As a custom jeweller who’s seen countless stone requests over the years, Cathy is quick to point out that teal sapphires aren’t just popular—they’re personal.
“Every teal sapphire is different,” she says. “They shift in the light. Some lean green, some deep ocean blue. That natural variation is part of the appeal. Clients want something that feels theirs—and teal gives them that.”
Most of Ma Folie’s sapphires are sourced from Montana, Australia, and Madagascar, regions known for stones that sit in the perfect balance between green and blue. These sapphires are not just visually striking, they’re practical, too. With a Mohs hardness of 9 (second only to diamonds), sapphires are ideal for everyday wear.
But Cathy’s eye is already on what’s next.
“I think bi-colour sapphires are going to become more and more sought after,” she explains. “They have these beautiful natural shifts—blue and green in the same stone, or peach and teal. They’re harder to source, but incredibly special.”
She’s careful not to frame this as a passing trend. Instead, it’s a reflection of what today’s clients are asking for: meaningful, unique, and story-driven rings. At Ma Folie, every custom ring begins with a consultation where clients can see and select their stone before the design process even begins.
Teal sapphires may be the current favourite, but bi-colour sapphires are the next conversation starter for those who want their ring to say something truly unique—and one they can call their own.
