    "I first saw this ring on a turn table, then I went online to get a closer look at it (the host did not choose to show this ring), and decided to order it to see what it would look like even closer. When it arrived, I was blown away by how BEAUTIFUL it was/is. It has become my favorite ring, and I wear it every day, and get a lot of compliments on it. I am really happy with it!"

    "The quality of the ring was great as far as design and layout. However the center stone was nowhere as deep a blue as the picture. It will still make a fine gift - I just wish the stone was a little deeper Blue"

    "Pop" goes the sapphire!, September 9, 2007
    TexanByChoice , Frisco, TX
    Quality: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5
    Value: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

    "I've never seen a Ceylon sapphire. However, it does have that "pop" you read about if you've ever researched the gem. Unlike the dark blue sapphires, this gem has a high refraction property and really sparkles. The ring is on the small side but is excellent for a smaller hand and is very comfortable. It's hard to say if it met my expectations since I've only seen lab creadted ones. Lab created Ceylon sapphires are darker in color but not as dark as other sapphires. A deeper blue in a genuine gem, would be cost prohibitive for me. It is a nice ring and a good value for the price."

    Sapphire



    Fast Facts




    While sapphire and ruby are both corundum, they are distinguished by color. All red corundum are ruby. Everything else is sapphire. While sapphire can come in a variety of color, it is most noted for the color blue, “cornflower blue” in particular. Sapphires other than blue are often referred to as “fancy sapphire.” While there is a wide range of color, the most popular colors include padparadscha (a light to medium toned, orange pink), pink sapphire and orange sapphire.

    Color

    Sapphire, known for its beautiful “cornflower blue” color, also comes in a wide range of colors.

    Hardness and Durability

    Like rubies, sapphires are one of the hardest and most durable materials on earth. At 9 on Mohs’ scale of gemstone hardness, sapphires are second only to diamonds in hardness.









    History

    The history of sapphire can be a little confusing because it has often been confused with other stones like lapis lazuli. It wasn’t until the early 1800s that sapphire and ruby were recognized as being the family of corundum. The name sapphire may derive from the Greek Sanskrit sanipriya, meaning “dear to the planet Saturn.” Its deep blue color seems to embody the deep blue sky.

    Legend suggests that the Ten Commandments were inscribed on sapphire. Of course, due to its hardness that would be a miracle indeed. Various cultures have treasured the beauty and virtues of sapphire. Ancient Egyptian physicians prescribed grinding it and forming a wash to help the eyes. It was also prescribed for indigestion, scorpion bites, boils, and more.

    The Christian church also valued its presence. Pope Innocent II required all bishops to wear sapphire rings on their hand of blessing. And some writers have suggested that it is one of the foundation stones mentioned in Revelation, representing the apostle Paul because of his mystic encounter in the third heavens.










    Some of the most desired sapphires come from Kashmir, India. Other key mining areas include Sri Lanka, Mogok, Chantabun and Kanchanaburi (Thailand) and even Montana. Other deposits include Brazil, China, Cambodia, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Tanzania.









    When you first start shopping for sapphires, try to look at a wide selection of stones. Train your eye to notice things you like and dislike. When you’re ready to shop, you might want to decide upon a price range.

    Heat Treatments

    You should probably assume your sapphire has been heated. A sapphire that has not been heat treated is extremely rare and would be very expensive.

    Inclusions

    Most sapphire contain some inclusions, so unless you are willing to pay the exorbitant price for a stone free of inclusions, look for a stone that looks clean to the naked eye.









    Cleaning sapphires is easy. Due to their hardness and durability, almost any cleaning technique is acceptable. For specific gemstone details, see our Gemstone Enhancement Chart. Normal Care includes:

    Maintain their beauty by cleaning your gems

    On sapphires, you can normally use ultrasonic cleaners, steamers, sudsy water, and brushes.

    Check stone mounts

    Sapphires are more durable the metal mounts on your jewelry, so have the prongs checked occasionally to assure a tight fit.

    Avoid wearing gems during strenuous exercise

    A well-placed blow could damage the beauty of stone, so it is safest to store them while engaging in any activity where they might be subject to high impact.

    Do not handle jewelry by the stone

    You don’t want to loosen a stone from the mount and take a chance of eventually losing it if the stone falls out.

    Store gemstones separately

    Sapphires are harder than others and a hard stone can actually scratch a softer stone.
