Hey there, Rosette Squad! We know picking the perfect alternative gemstone for your forever ring can feel like walking into a pastel candy shop - so many dreamy options, so little finger space! But don’t worry - today we’re shining the spotlight on two swoon-worthy stones that steal hearts: peach sapphires and morganites.
If you’re debating between these blushing beauties, you’ve come to the right place. Grab your latte (or matcha), get cozy, and let’s dive into the sparkly details to help you find your perfect match!
Just Peachy: What Is A Peach Sapphire?
Peach sapphires are truly the unicorns of the sapphire world - rare, romantic, and radiantly one-of-a-kind! Mined from dreamy destinations like Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Tanzania, these sapphires flaunt a gorgeous pink-orange glow (thanks to a little magic from iron and chromium trace elements).
Why We Love Them:
-
Perfectly paired with rose gold (though equally stunning in yellow, white, or platinum).
-
Their pastel-peachy tone flatters every skin tone and gives major romantic sunset vibes.
-
Still a favorite choice for modern romantics looking for something beyond the ordinary.
Symbolism: Love, creativity, and acceptance - basically, a stone that’s got all the feels.
L&P Favorite: Check out our 1.80ct Aspen engagement ring - this sparkly showstopper features a peach sapphire center that’s flanked by a whimsical arrangement of diamonds for maximum sparkle and swoon.

Pretty In Pink: What Is A Morganite?
Soft. Delicate. Utterly romantic. Morganites are for those who dream in blush tones. While these gems can range from peachy-pink to pastel rose, most shoppers fall head-over-heels for the light peach-pink hue that morganite is famous for.
Did You Know?
Most morganites are heat-treated to minimize yellowish undertones and enhance that signature blush. The result? A gemstone that feels like a permanent soft sunrise on your hand!
Symbolism: Morganites are believed to radiate compassion and divine love - perfect for expressing your forever feelings in the sweetest way.
L&P Favorite: Our 8x6mm Lana engagement ring takes morganite to new heights with art deco elegance and unique design details that make her unforgettable!

-
That dreamy blush-pink color palette.
-
A wide range of shades to fit your vibe - from soft pastels to deeper peaches.
-
Rich symbolism rooted in love (cue collective awws).
If you’re looking for an alternative to a traditional diamond but still want a hint of classic romance, either stone is a winner!
Which Rock to Rock: How To Choose Between A Morganite And Peach Sapphire
Now that you have all the inside scoop on peach sapphires and morganites, the time has come to make a decision. So which stone do you fancy? If you’re looking for a stone with a little more sparkle and hardness, a peach sapphire is the one for you. Peach sapphires are durable as well which means that they will hold up with the proper care.
If you’re looking for something less pricey but still glamorous, a morganite would your gem of choice! Your lifestyle is also something that you should keep in mind when making your decision. While you should be cautious with any stone/ring that you get, morganites are a softer stone which means that a little extra care will be necessary to keep it in good condition. When mindfulness is practiced in your daily routine, you should have little to no challenge with a morganite.
