What&#8217;s more, measuring 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphires are so durable that synthetic sapphire is used in the manufacture of spacecraft windows and Apple iPhone screens. &nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-symbolism\">Symbolism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue sapphires have long been associated with royalty and romance &#8211; a folklore which was reinforced in the 1980s when Prince Charles presented Lady Diana with a huge sapphire surrounded by diamonds as a engagement ring. This ring is now worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, whose engagement to Prince William sparked another worldwide sapphire frenzy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The Catholic church has also revered and worn blue sapphires as a symbol of Heaven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue sapphires are the birthstone for September and traditionally given on 45th and 65th wedding anniversaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/de324abf-9e4a2103-9a-750x1000.jpg\" alt=\"18ct White Gold Sapphire &amp; Diamond Oval Earrings\" data-id=\"352517\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/de324abf-9e4a2103-9a-750x1000.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/the-ajc-guide-to-sapphires\/9e4a2103-9a-750x1000\/\" class=\"wp-image-352517\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/18ct-white-gold-sapphire-diamond-oval-earrings\/\">18ct White Gold Sapphire &amp; Diamond Oval Earrings<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/11c9f48d-52-1-750x1000.jpg\" alt=\"Art Deco Diamond &amp; Sapphire Drop Earrings in Original Case\" data-id=\"352518\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/11c9f48d-52-1-750x1000.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/the-ajc-guide-to-sapphires\/52-1-750x1000\/\" class=\"wp-image-352518\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/art-deco-diamond-sapphire-drop-earrings-in-original-case\/\">Art Deco Diamond &amp; Sapphire Drop Earrings in Original Case<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/e0c6dd33-c99ac9d2-nsf02930.jpg\" alt=\"Edwardian Ceylon Sapphire &amp; Rose Diamond Drop Earrings\" data-id=\"352522\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/e0c6dd33-c99ac9d2-nsf02930.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/the-ajc-guide-to-sapphires\/c99ac9d2-nsf02930-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-352522\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/edwardian-ceylon-sapphire-rose-diamond-drop-earrings\/\">Edwardian Ceylon Sapphire &amp; Rose Diamond Drop Earrings<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fancy-sapphires\">Fancy Sapphires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sapphires can actually come in a wide range of colours. The non-blue sort are known as \u2018fancy sapphires\u2019 and became very popular in the 1990s when new sources were discovered in Africa, boosting the existing supply. They come in violet, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple and many other hues between. In fact, every gemstone in the corundum family other than ruby red (these are, of course, rubies) are sapphires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2134\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/78961260-fancy-sapphires.jpg\" alt=\"A Selection of our Yellow &amp; Pink Sapphires\" class=\"wp-image-352508\"\/><figcaption>A Selection of our Yellow &amp; Pink Sapphires<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quality\">Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with many other gemstones, the clarity, colour, cut and carat weight of a blue sapphire all play a part in assessing its quality and value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-colour\">Colour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to blue sapphires, colour is the real make or break. The most desirable blue sapphires (which range between a greenish blue to a violetish blue) are velvety blue to violetish blue. A cornflower blue hue is considered to be extremely desirable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong to vivid colour saturation (intensity) is key, while a dark colour which compromises the brightness devalues the stone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/3f177b5f-sapphire-ring-image-one.jpg\" alt=\"Georgian 18ct Gold, Sapphire &amp; Rose Diamond Ring\" class=\"wp-image-352514\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/georgian-18ct-gold-sapphire-rose-diamond-ring\/\">Georgian 18ct Gold, Sapphire &amp; Rose Diamond Ring<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-clarity\">Clarity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is common for blue sapphires to have inclusions (internal flaws). Stones with extremely high clarity are rare and command a higher price. In some cases inclusions are a plus &#8211; Kashmir sapphires (considered to be extremely beautiful) contain tiny inclusions which give a rich, velvety appearance to the stones. However, if the inclusions threaten the stone\u2019s durability, the value decreases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/505b10f3-sapphire-ring-image-two.jpg\" alt=\"French Art Deco Synthetic Sapphire &amp; Diamond Cluster Ring\" class=\"wp-image-352515\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/french-art-deco-synthetic-sapphire-diamond-cluster-ring\/\">French Art Deco Synthetic Sapphire &amp; Diamond Cluster Ring<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cut-shape\">Cut &amp; Shape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cut of a sapphire is crucial to its value as it affects the colour and brilliance of the stone, where the shape influences its proportions and carat weight. A cabochon cut (smooth, dome shape crown) is the easiest to produce. Oval, round and cushion cuts are the most popular for blue sapphires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/0fc4aa76-sapphire-ring-image-three.jpg\" alt=\"Art Deco Sapphire, Emerald &amp; Diamond Square Ring\" class=\"wp-image-352516\" width=\"580\" height=\"348\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/art-deco-sapphire-emerald-diamond-square-ring\/\">Art Deco Sapphire, Emerald &amp; Diamond Square Ring<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-carat\">Carat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue sapphires come in a wide range of weights and sizes. Large blue sapphires are more common than large rubies. However, most commercial-quality sapphires weigh less than 5.00 carats so anything above this becomes considerably more valuable, particularly if the stone is of excellent quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2496\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/static.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/2019\/04\/564c640a-large-sapphires-copy.jpg\" alt=\"A few of the largest Sapphires that we have had over the years\" class=\"wp-image-352509\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/antique-engagement-rings\/sapphire\/\">A few of the largest Sapphires that we have had over the years<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-treatment\">Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to ask about treatment when buying sapphires. Many sapphires on the market today have been treated by heat or lattice diffusion to alter their colours, but this can affect their value. Lattice diffusion can create vivid colour but stones treated this way are less valuable than heated sapphires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-are-blue-sapphires-mined\">Where are blue sapphires mined?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous locations for sapphire mining are Kashmir, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. Some of the most beautiful and rare sapphires are from Kashmir, while Sri Lanka has produced the three largest blue sapphires to date. They are also mined in Cambodia, Thailand, India and Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-famous-sapphires\">Famous Sapphires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The huge sapphire and diamond engagement ring worn first by Princess Diana and currently by the Duchess of Cambridge<\/li><li>The Star of India &#8211; a 563.35 carat, round sapphire with a unique star shape (a phenomenon of some sapphires) that appears on both sides<\/li><li>The Blue Giant of the Orient weighs a whopping 466 carats &#8211; the largest faceted sapphire in the world.
