About blue sapphire<\/h3>\n

Sapphire is one of the four most valuable gemstones, alongside ruby, emerald, and diamond, which are also among the most expensive gemstones. Gemstones encompass a wide range of valuable stones, among which diamonds stand out for their unique properties. It is a blue stone, one of many stones captivating with its colour, history, and mystical properties.<\/p>\n

Since ancient times, it has been considered a symbol of wisdom, protection, and spiritual peace. We present a collection where sapphire becomes the main accent ? in rings, earrings, or other jewellery pieces.<\/p>\n

Sapphire is not just a blue stone<\/h3>\n

Sapphire belongs to the corundum mineral group. The corundum mineral group is composed of aluminium oxide, which contains aluminium. Sapphires belong to this group. Its blue colour is formed by iron and titanium impurities. It is one of the most highly valued blue gemstones, which has a special symbolism and great jewellery value. Corundum minerals feature a variety of colours, but blue sapphires are the most valuable.<\/p>\n

Sapphire colour<\/h3>\n

\"Sapphire<\/p>\n

Sapphire colour and its intensity are the most important characteristics of its value. Sapphires come in various colours, where mineral impurities determine their shades, including not only blue but also variants of other colours. The more intense and saturated the blue colour, the more expensive the sapphire is.<\/p>\n

Sapphire shades<\/h3>\n

\"Sapphire<\/p>\n

Sapphires can be light blue, deep blue, purplish-blue, or even greenish-blue. The most valuable are saturated blue sapphires with an even colour distribution, known as “Royal Blue”. There are also rarer shades, such as orange (padparadscha).<\/p>\n

Sapphires by origin<\/h3>\n

\"Sapphires<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is one of the most famous sapphire sources, known for its light blue stones. Sapphires have a long history of formation and journey, lasting from their formation to the present day, which reflects their mineral composition and symbolic meaning. Also, sapphires found in Myanmar (Burma), Madagascar, Australia, Thailand, and Africa feature different characteristics and colour variations. Origin has a direct impact on the stone’s colour and value.<\/p>\n

Sapphires by shape<\/h3>\n

\"Various<\/p>\n

In jewellery, the most commonly found sapphires are oval, custom-cut emerald (emerald cut), heart, or pear shapes. Oval and round cuts best highlight the sapphire’s colour.<\/p>\n

Sapphires by quality<\/h3>\n

Quality is evaluated according to the 4C principle ? colour, clarity, cut, and weight. However, for sapphires, just like for rubies, the most important thing is colour and its saturation. The highest quality sapphires are valued significantly higher ? their price can be much higher than regular stones. Saturated colour sapphires are highly desired for their exceptional beauty.<\/p>\n

Sapphires by clarity<\/h3>\n

\"Sapphires<\/p>\n

Unlike diamonds, sapphires almost always have inclusions ? it is very rare to find sapphires without inclusions. This is their natural feature, which is often even considered their “signature”. The clearest sapphires are rarer and more expensive.<\/p>\n

Sapphire certificates ? GIA, IGI, and HRD<\/h3>\n

When buying a sapphire or a ring with a sapphire, it is extremely important to ensure the authenticity and quality of the stone. Certificates issued by independent gemological institutes, such as GIA (Gemological Institute of America)<\/strong>, IGI (International Gemological Institute)<\/strong>, or HRD Antwerp<\/strong>, serve this purpose. These documents confirm that the sapphire is natural, indicate its colour, clarity, origin, and whether the stone has been treated. Since sapphires are often heated to improve their colour and clarity, the certificate provides transparency and a guarantee to the buyer.<\/p>\n
