This guide combines a decade of experience with practical insights to support confident gemstone purchasesβ€”whether it's your first stone or the next in your collection. Understanding Natural Sapphires The Fundamentals Every Buyer Should Know Natural sapphires are members of the corundum family, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scaleβ€”just below diamonds. They're ideal for engagement rings and heirloom jewellery, with colours ranging far beyond traditional blue. The Complete Color Spectrum Blue Sapphires: From cornflower to royal blueβ€”valued for vivid, medium-dark tones with clarity. Pink Sapphires: Romantic and modernβ€”ranging from blush to hot pink. Padparadscha is especially rare. Yellow Sapphires: From lemon to goldenβ€”ideal for vintage and vibrant contemporary designs. White Sapphires: A brilliant diamond alternative with timeless appeal. Fancy Colours: Green, purple, orange, and colour-change varieties. The Professional Evaluation Framework: The 4 Cs + Origin Color Comprising hue, tone, and saturationβ€”color accounts for up to 70% of a sapphire’s value. Hue: Primary and secondary colour balance Saturation: Intensity of colour; vivid is best Tone: Lightness or darknessβ€”medium to medium-dark preferred Clarity Sapphires often contain inclusions that prove their authenticity. Eye-Clean: No inclusions visible without magnification Slightly Included: Minimal inclusions under magnification Included: May affect appearance or durability Silk: Enhances texture and desirability Cut A precision cut enhances brilliance, maintains weight, and showcases colour. Carat Weight 1–2 ct: Best for jewellery 2–5 ct: Excellent investment stones 5+ ct: Rare collector grade Origin Matters Prestige origins such as Kashmir, Burma, and Ceylon can dramatically influence value.
