When buying a sapphire what parameters do you need to take into consideration and pay attention
to:
❤ The budget for the purchase.

💛 Color is another important parameter that affects the price of a stone.
For color stones, the rule is often the following — the more saturated the color of the stone,
the more expensive it is. ⠀⠀
💚 Quality (imperfection) of a sapphire — color sapphires are assessed visually
by eye, the main thing is that there are no strongly expressed inclusions, especially under the
table
💙 Transparency — the stone should be of an open color, transparent, not cloudy,
without zoning ⠀⠀⠀
💜 The deposit of a sapphire — optional. The most famous deposits of color
sapphires are Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Burma (a little bit)
🖤 Refining — presence / absence (artificially improving the quality and / or color
of a sapphire). This is a very important parameter.
We recommend buying stones without refining or only the ones with heat treatment (refining
by heating).⠀⠀
🤍 The shape of the stone — choose according to your taste. However,
be attentive — the quality of the cut itself matters. The stone should be proportional,
symmetrical, not flat and not too high. ⠀⠀
🤎 Certified by a reputable laboratory. This is of great importance. For some especially
valuable specimens, we even make two certificates — an international and a Russian one.
