It is interesting to realize that sapphires don't have red. Technically, these are rubies. Rubies and sapphires come from corundum, and the shade of the gemstone what makes the difference. At a certain level of saturation the ruby will transform into a pink sapphire.



The process of assessing the quality of sapphire is based on many factors. We all know that Silver Couple Bracelets diamonds are rated using the famous 4Cs, which stand for clarity, color cut, carat weight and color. What is the sapphire appraisal process?


It is important to understand that unlike diamonds, sapphires are mostly valued for their color. The goal isn't to eliminate color, but instead to achieve a rich and powerful color that is consistent throughout the stone. The presence of secondary colors as well as the intensity of those colors, and the purity of a stone are considered. In this way, the color becomes the determining factor in evaluating the quality of the sapphire.


But that is not all. The cut is also crucial. The color is important, but the cut is what determines the quality and beauty of the stone. The cut of the stone directly affects its ability to reflect color and light and thus its beauty. If the sapphire is not cut correctly, the central area will appear dull and lifeless.


The size of the sapphire is important in evaluating its quality. Although it may seem attractive to own a large stone, it must be considered that the likelihood of it being a good gem decreases as its size increases. In fact, the bigger the stone is, the more difficult it will be to locate an extremely high-quality one. A large, top-quality sapphire can be extremely rare and expensive.


In the end, assessing the quality of sapphire requires considering a myriad of factors and the color, cut and size are the ones that most influence the value of the stone. When you are evaluating a sapphire it isn't enough to only look at its appearance on the surface. You must analyze all specifics to fully understand its beauty and value.
