Sapphires: The Royal Gem
It’s quite difficult to imagine that anyone would not appreciate the beauty of a sapphire –which might have to do with the fact that almost everyone loves the color blue. Despite being known for their rich blue color, sapphires, like many other gemstones, can come in a variety of colors. They come in just about every shade, from golden yellow to reddish-orange, to beautiful violet. Any color that isn’t blue is known as a “fancy” color sapphire.
Sapphires are one of the strongest minerals and are very durable –making them a well sought after gemstone, not to mention an expensive one. Sapphires are found in numerous locations around the world, but the best ones come from Myanmar, Kashmir, and Sri Lanka. The purer the blue, the higher the price. Controlled heating has been used for quite some time to enhance the hue and clarity.
Although deeper shades of blue are immensely desired, keep in mind that it will drive up the asking price. Sapphires look exceptionally beautiful with all pieces of jewelry so stop by the Diamond District NY to find a new piece to add to your collection. I.D. Jewelry has an exquisite collection of sapphire and diamond rings. They could make a very nice alternative to traditional diamond engagement rings!
