What Are Blue Sapphires

The reasons for choosing a blue sapphire ring are many and varied. This type of engagement is steeped in romance. The Prince of Wales (Prince Charles.}gave an antique blue sapphire to his bride to be, the late (Princess Diana). In the 80’s this type of engagement ring couldn’t be kept on jewellery shelves, because it was the ring choice of royalty. The popularity of this gem has recently had an upsurge. The romantic, classical, elegant look of this gem makes it a timeless piece of jewellery to adorn any collection.

The finest sapphires are said to the cornflower blue sapphires. These sapphires like most gems have flaws. These are known as inclusions. The lighter the gem the more visible the flaws. The darker the sapphire the more difficult it is to observe the inclusions or (flaws). There are some practical things to remember as with any precious gem purchase. These are simply explained. The weight for e.g. is the carat, this along with the cut, and colour, determine the overall value of the sapphire. The cut of the gem will affect the overall look of the sapphire, a well cut sapphire will reflect the light beautifully, and allow the colour to flow freely. A poorly cut gem therefore will have the opposite affect and make the ring less sought after, ultimately affecting the overall value. Your sapphire ring should come with a certificate of authenticity for you peace of mind.

The word sapphire means celestial power, not of this earth. It is a symbol of good health, and heavenly intervention. This is the birth stone of those of us born in September. So it is an excellent choice for your loved one especially, if she was born in or around the month of September.  This choice of gem is an excellent one not only for its romantic connotations but its symbolism. The price of this ring will vary. Coloured diamonds are always more expensive especially the rarer colourerd ones. A good idea when shopping for your ring is to browse the internet. Online shopping will allow you to compare prices and view the multitude of rings available in 3D format. Whatever your final choice the blue sapphire will hold on to its value, and popularity, for many years to come, making it a wonderful choice with timeless sentimentality.
