Soothing, sensuous blue; liquid blue; evening sky blue; cornflower
blue ... these are among the many shades of this lovely gemstone. And yet,
there are many colors and hues of Sapphire from which to choose: the hot and
soft pinks; the oranges, greens, purples, golds, yellows and whites...all for
your pleasure.
Since ancient time, man has
treasured Sapphire. Some thought the heavens crystallized to form a huge
Sapphire upon which the earth rested. All sought the pure colors of this
gemstone variety as an expression of beauty and wealth. Yet, the perfect
Sapphire is as rare as the finest work of art. Thus, over the centuries, we
have evolved methods to enhance the purest hues of Sapphire. This is often
achieved by controlled heating of the gemstone to improve its clarity and
color. Heating Sapphires is a permanent enhancement, as lasting as the
gemstones themselves.
