Fine-Quality Sapphire Jewelry

Sapphire, a member of the corundum family, ranks 9 on the Mohs scale—making it one of the hardest and most durable colored gemstones available. Its rich hues come from trace elements, with titanium and iron creating the vibrant blues sapphire is known for.

Can you wear sapphire everyday?

Sapphires are prized for their everyday wearability, thanks to their exceptional hardness, toughness, and lack of cleavage. 

Is sapphire treated?

Heat treatment in sapphires is common, stable, and industry-accepted, often enhancing a stone’s vibrancy without altering its natural makeup. Untreated stones with exceptional color remain rare and valuable.

Sapphire Quality Factors

Sapphire color is the most important value factor, with blue, pink, and padparadscha fetching the highest prices. Yellow, green, and purple sapphires offer beautiful and more affordable alternatives.

Cut also plays a vital role in showcasing a sapphire’s brilliance. A well-cut stone enhances color and sparkle, while a poor cut can make even a top-quality gem look dull.

Origin may affect price, but it’s the stone’s quality that truly determines value. And as always, we encourage you to shop with a trusted source—because when it comes to fine gems, trust is everything.
