Description
Sapphire is one of the most popular colored stones in the United States, prized for its extraordinary durability and suitability for everyday wear. Pure corundum — the mineral that sapphire is composed of — is actually colorless in its purest form, but trace elements of iron and titanium produce the rich blue color sapphire is celebrated for. True pure corundum is rare; trace elements are responsible for the wide range of colors found across the corundum family. These oval faceted genuine blue sapphires are heat-treated and available in multiple quality grades, making them well-suited for a variety of fine jewelry applications. Sapphire is the birthstone for September.
