What You Should Know about the Sapphire Gemstone

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Kellie

If you were born in September, you probably have at least one jewelry piece adorned with a sapphire gemstone. This is because sapphire is the birthstone for people who were born on September. Sapphires are the second hardest gemstones after diamonds. Depending on the quality, sapphires can be extremely valuable. High quality sapphires have strong luster. This means that they can reflect light just like a mirror. Since sapphires are hard, you can wear jewelries adorned with sapphires without scratches for many years.

Sapphires are gemstones that represent truth, faithfulness, and sincerity. These stones are widely used as engagement rings because of the traits that they represent. Princess Diana received a sapphire engagement ring from Prince Charles. Some historians also agree that Moses received the Ten Commandments on sapphire tablets. This made the sapphire gemstone sacred and divine. Kings and high priests used sapphires in their crowns and adornments to symbolize divine authority and sacredness.

Before you buy a sapphire gemstone for yourself or for your loved one, it is important that you know some important tips for buying this precious stone. Check out the following guidelines that can help you choose a high quality sapphire.

- Sapphires come in different colors except red. If you see a red sapphire, it is not really a sapphire but a ruby. By looking at its color, you can determine the value of the sapphire. For instance, the brightest of blue sapphires are some of the most valuable sapphires in the world. If the color is very vivid and intense, the sapphire most probably comes with a hefty price tag. If you can see that the sapphire's color is bright blue and it is within your price range, you should go ahead and buy the sapphire. Very dark or almost black sapphires are of poor quality.

- Another factor that determines a sapphire's value is the clarity. The clearer and the more vivid the sapphire gemstone, the higher is the value and the quality. If you are paying for a very expensive sapphire, make sure that it has no internal imperfections. Sapphires that are almost black or opaque should be inexpensive. They only cost around $20 and can be easily bought from ordinary jewelry shops. If you like to buy exquisite sapphires, you should visit special jewelry stores and be prepared to pay an expensive price.

- You should also look at the size. Large sapphires are hard to find, which makes them more expensive. Small and dark blue sapphires are the ones that you can usually find in rings or earrings. They are not rare which makes them inexpensive.

- Poorly cut sapphires also make them cheap. Sapphires that are finely cut are only found in premium jewelry shops. Make sure that the facets of the stones are even and proportioned. A finely cut sapphire reflects light well, which emphasizes the natural color of the gemstone.

You should be careful when buying a sapphire gemstone because there are so many people who sell synthetic and imitation sapphires. Make sure that what you are buying is a genuine sapphire that is worth the amount that you paid for.
