However, there are still a few characteristics you may need to understand before purchasing sapphire .
4Cs of Blue Sapphires
Blue Sapphires come in a wide array of shades, from delicate to velvety royal blue. The gem’s colour is its most crucial feature and it’s affected by three elements: hue, saturation and tone. Saturation is the most important component and refers to the amount of colour in the stone. Too much of it can cause the sapphire too look dark and too little makes the gem appear faded, so ideal saturation would rest between moderate and strong. Bear in mind that the blacker the colour, the lower the quality. Before purchasing, make sure the colour is equally distributed, unless if you are actually searching for a two-toned stone.
The gemstone’s appearance is solely affected by its origins and composition. Since each stone is unique, there aren’t any set measurements for ideal gemstone cut to enhance colour and beauty. When searching for a well-cut sapphire, opt for symmetrical stones with shape and size that suit the purpose and your tastes.
