Blue sapphire collection including Sri Lanka jewelry

Origin:

Sapphire is another valuable variety of the mineral corundum and belongs to the gemstone family. The most famous deposits are found in Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, India, Tanzania, Madagascar, Australia, and the USA. Sri Lanka is often prized for its blue sapphires, while Kashmir sapphires, known for their deep blue color, are particularly sought after and command high prices due to their rarity.

Special features:

Sapphires are known for their variety of colors, with the deepest blue being the most well-known and sought-after. This blue color is caused by the presence of iron and titanium impurities. However, sapphires can also occur in other colors, including pink, yellow, green, and even colorless.

A special variety of sapphire is the star sapphire, which exhibits a phenomenon similar to that of the star ruby. This appearance is caused by inclusions of rutile, creating a striking, star-shaped pattern on the stone's surface that becomes visible under direct light. Sapphires are extremely hard and are the second hardest natural substance after diamonds, making them particularly resistant to scratches and ideal for everyday jewelry.
