Did You Know?
At Christie’s in Geneva, the Blue Belle of Asia, a sapphire necklace, sold for over $17 million, setting a world auction record. It had a stunning 392.52 carat Ceylon Blue Sapphire. This proved how craftsmanship, rarity, and provenance can transform even a simple jewel into a world-renowned object of desire.
What Affects the Quality and Price of Blue Sapphire Jewellery?
No matter what shape or form, blue sapphire jewellery contains history, origin, colour, clarity and craftsmanship. The value of blue sapphire jewellery is determined by these four key elements alongside carat weight and composition of the design.
Origin
A Kashmir sapphire with its silky velvety glow will always be the king of collector sapphires. Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and Burma are hotter in demand across the globe for their bright fire and brilliance, with pieces also considered. Madagascar and Thailand produce stunning gemstones too, but are typically more budget conscious.
Color
The ideal Blue Sapphire stone ring will have a deep, royal blue that will display an even color, no matter which angle you look from. Too light looks washed out, too dark looks dull. The most appropriate shade will be somewhere in the middle such as vivid, balanced, and will catch the eye in any amount of light.
Clarity
While it is not unusual to have natural inclusions, the best specimens will have tiny, crystal clear inclusions so far in the background that they will not give away any natural cloudiness or exterior light. Fine jewellery quality sapphire rings will have the highest transparency paired with solid and pure depth.
Carat
Larger blue sapphire stones with great color and clarity are more sought after and highly valuable. In jewellery design, the ratio of gemstone to metal value will affect what your final piece of jewellery looks like and the price tag, small but saturated color sapphires in a blue sapphire brooch piece will look as stunning as a large statement piece.
Cut
When it comes to sapphires, a more precise cut will create more brilliance and a bad cut will dull the finest sapphires because it’s both an art and geometric principles that make every facet sparkly.
Designs
The design is also what takes a blue sapphire ring or other jewels from being a piece to becoming a treasured heirloom. Whether a neelam ratna ring with a diamond halo, a vintage look, or a simple band, it is generally the custom jewelry craftsmanship that adds value and makes the piece exclusive.
