Aside from the blue sapphire, some of the most prized corundum varieties are the pink and orange ones. The former, called rubies, is very expensive, but it’s not as rare.

Clarity
Sapphires have a blue hue, but are available in many other colors. The color quality of sapphires is determined by a combination factors, such as hue, tone, and saturation. The best sapphires have a velvety royal blue color and are considered AAA quality. Sapphires with a lighter shade of blue fall into AA and A categories. Sapphires with gray undertones are in the B category.
Clarity is just as important as color when it comes to sapphires. Most natural untreated sapphires have some inclusions, but the number and type of inclusions can impact the stone’s look. When evaluating sapphires, the size, location and type of inclusions are considered. The lower the sapphire’s clarity grade is, the more eye-visible inclusions it has.
The cut of a sapphire is also a factor in its beauty. A well-cut sapphire can transmit light efficiently and reveal its beauty. Poorly cut sapphires will lose light, and appear dull. GemsNY uses only the highest quality sapphires that are cut perfectly to enhance their beauty.
A sapphire’s clarity is also determined by its inclusions, which are mineral particles within the gemstone. Some inclusions can be seen by the naked eye and others with a loupe. The most desirable sapphires have few inclusions, and the size and look of these inclusions are considered.
Some sapphires are treated to improve their clarity. Beryllium treatment uses beryllium to penetrate the sapphire and intensify its color, while surface diffusion is a non-permanent chemical process that coats the sapphire with titanium, which helps to lighten the color and increase its transparency. At GemsNY we do not use any of these sapphires.
