Sapphire is any form of gem quality corundum, other than red. It is the second hardest mineral on earth next to diamond. While blue is the most traditional and classic color for sapphire, sapphire is actually found in a variety of different colors. Most natural sapphire is quite pale and light in color.
Blue is the best-known of the sapphire colors. The prized Kashmir and Burmese sapphires have a deep blue that is intense and velvety. These sapphires are not often seen on the market today. Sri Lankan and Madagascar sapphires are the most common today, with a wide range of colors from light blue to dark blue. With blue sapphire, the intensity of blue is the most important factor. For example, a huge sapphire with a washed-out, weak blue color is much less valuable than a much smaller stone of excellent color.
An intense, rich pure cornflower blue that is not too dark or too 'inky' is the most desirable colour. Overall, sapphires that are too dark or too light in color are less valuable, but light-blue sapphires often have greater brilliance that is rarely found in darker blue stones. Colorless sapphires are actually quite rare, since most stones will exhibit some faint hints of color.
Cubic zirconia (CZ) has been a favorite white synthetic gem stone for many years, due mainly to its brilliance and lower cost compared to diamonds. However, we believe that our lab created white sapphire may offer advantages over CZ. In a comparison of white sapphire vs. cubic zirconium, white sapphire is harder, making it more scratch and wear resistant than CZ. In addition, lab created white sapphire maintains its whiteness and brilliance over time, whereas CZ is known to lose its color and become dull appearing.
Since natural white sapphire is rarely available in white gemstones in the market, it is safe to presume that all of the white sapphire jewellery you see in our online/offline shops have been created in a laboratory by expert gemologists.
