5 Steps to Own Great Quality Green Sapphire
While there isn't any 'official' laboratory in the world which only grading sapphires, there are ways you can optimize your green sapphire hunting efforts and boost your success.
1. The Cut
There is a little secret gemstone cutters don't want you to know: cut as little as possible to preserve the weight. Unfortunately this will affect how the gemstone reflects incoming lights too, making it less attractive. Try to get a green sapphire which is well-balanced and great in cut for better value and visual.
2. The Clarity
No one want a dull jewelry. Make sure your green sapphire is not a cabochon cut. Look for it under natural light for better inspection process. Cabochon cut typically made for cloudy and unattractive gemstones.
3. The Weight
Green sapphire price, like any other gemstones, is measured by carat weight. The price will significantly increased as the carat weight increases. But the bigger is not necessarily the better for you. Choose the right size for your jewelry.
4. The Color
A green that is deep green is most desirable. But we have noticed that there has been an increase of demand in colors such as navy green, green-blue, green-yellow, and teal. Dual color green sapphires are also our best buy among the young couples.
5. The Treatment
It is very common to see sapphire treatment by heat. This process often accompanied by other element such as beryllium to enhance the clarity and color. But if you are into natural, unheated gemstones, you may have to fork your pocket a little deeper as they are more expensive and valuable.
