How do we know if a sapphire is valuable?

Like all gemstones, a sapphire's value is determined by its colour, cut, carat weight, and clarity. A premium quality sapphire will always have superior clarity - which means few imperfections are visible when seen under a magnifying glass. The stone's size along with a good carat weight will set the price of a pendant set with sapphire or sapphire necklaces.

Blue sapphire necklaces

The velvety-blue to violet-blue sapphire shades and the vivid colour saturation places a sapphire necklace in the top colour grade. Blue sapphire with these attributes has one of the highest prices per carat. That's one reason a blue sapphire necklace is so popular among precious gemstone jewellery. The Kashmir blue sapphires are considered some of the finest in this colour.

Coloured sapphire necklaces

If you fancy something more colourful, a pink, yellow, or orange sapphire necklace will appeal to you. Sapphire necklaces are incredibly appealing in a range of unique colours, from clear white, blue, yellow, and pink. For something more elegant, check out the ethereal colourless sapphires.

How can you know if a sapphire is real

One way to be sure would be to buy it from a reputable jewellery house or to get it certified by a reputed jeweller. Here are a few other checks:

♦ Shine a torch on the sapphire in a dark room; if the blue colour is reflected back, it's a true blue sapphire. If you see any other colours, it can be a fake.
♦ Ensure there are no bubbles, inclusions or imperfections within a sapphire.
