Gemstone Factoids: Sapphire
28 07 2008
Sapphires and rubies are formed at great depth in the earth’s mantle or the lowest part of the crust. Although blue is considered the normal color for sapphires, they can be found across a full range of spectral colors as well as brown, colorless, grey and black. Those other than blue in color are considered fancy color sapphires. Some natural sapphires can be found as completely transparent, or “white.” White sapphires usually come out of the ground as light grey or brown and are then heated to make them clear. However, in very rare circumstances they will be found in a clear state.
This 5/8 Carat Sapphire, Black and White Diamond 14K White Gold Ring glistens with the vivid deep glow of sapphires, dazzle of traditional diamonds and the deep beauty of black diamonds that get their color from a special enhancement process. Precious gems make up this wonderful masterpiece.
