At Velur, you’ll find high-quality sapphire jewellery in two elegant finishes: gold vermeil (925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating) and 14K solid gold. Each piece features superior craftsmanship, carefully selected materials, and a lifetime warranty—available directly from us, with no middlemen, and at fair prices.

Genuine White Sapphire – Quality That Lasts
Genuine white sapphire jewellery, with no compromises—that’s what Velur stands for. Our commitment to quality is evident in every single detail:

White sapphires are colourless varieties of corundum—one of the hardest natural minerals in the world. Unlike blue sapphires, they contain no trace elements that would give them colour. Their high refractive index produces an impressive sparkle that is often compared to that of a diamond. Particularly high-quality white sapphires are characterized by exceptional clarity, uniform colourlessness, and a precise cut.
What Sets a Genuine White Sapphire Apart
- Colour – completely colourless with a clear, brilliant white
- Hardness – 9 on the Mohs scale, making it one of the hardest gemstones in existence
- Brilliance – a vibrant sparkle thanks to the high refractive index
- Purity – few inclusions and exceptional clarity
- Durability – Sturdy and resilient for everyday use
White Sapphire as an Alternative to Diamonds – A Meaningful Choice
White sapphires are a popular choice for anyone who appreciates the classic beauty of a diamond but deliberately prefers an alternative. The white sapphire has been gaining popularity for years, especially as an engagement ring. As the centre stone in engagement rings, it symbolizes purity, durability, and timeless elegance.
What Sets White Sapphires Apart from Diamonds:
- Price – significantly more affordable while offering comparable elegance
- Brilliance—a bit more subtle than that of a diamond, but exceptionally clear and elegant
- Meaning – Sapphires traditionally symbolize loyalty, wisdom, and endurance
- Sustainability – also available as a lab-grown option at Velur
