beautiful sapphire rings

Sapphires are one of the most desirable gemstones, second only to diamonds in hardness. One of its most sought after characteristics is its color. Although the most popular sapphires used in jewelry are blue sapphires, sapphires actually come in many color varieties: white, yellow, orange, brown, pink, purple, gray, colorless, and multicolored. The gem is made up of corundum, a mineral that is naturally blue. Therefore, most sapphires are known throughout the world as blue. However, if the mineral contains trace amounts of other elements such as iron, copper, or magnesium, the resulting gem will show a different range of colors. A sapphire that contains trace amounts of iron will result in a very pale yellow sapphire. A sapphire that contains trace amounts of chromium will result in a pink sapphire. If the chromium impurities increase, the color of the gem will be red. A red sapphire is called a ruby; this is the only sapphire that is not called a sapphire in gemology.

Many factors influence the value of the sapphire gemstone. When shopping for the perfect blue sapphire rings, there are many things to consider. The light that shines through the gem plays an important role in gem selection and value. Some sapphires are multicolored, and depending on how light reflects off the stone, the gems appear to have different colors. Color is the main selling point of the gemstone. Color is determined by hue, saturation, and hue. The intensity of the hue primarily determines the market value. The gem’s brightness or vividness affects its saturation, and its range from light to dark affects its hue. Blue is the most desirable of all sapphires, if it contains up to 15% violet or purple hues it is still considered an excellent quality gem. If it contains traces of green or gray its value is reduced, gray reduces the brightness of the hue.
