Saphir ungeschliffen

sapphire

Saphir Rundschliff

overview

  • Naming : Sapphire means "blue" in Greek - an interpretation of the typical blue tones of the sapphire. However, sapphires also come in other colors.
  • Mineral group: Sapphire belongs to the corundum family, which includes some of the most precious gemstones.
  • Colour : Sapphire is most commonly found in a range of shades of blue - from violet to cornflower blue to inky and black-blue. Therefore, the name sapphire without any additional suffix always refers to the blue sapphire. Other colour variants must be identified by name, e.g. green sapphire or yellow sapphire.
  • Cut : The sapphire reveals its beauty best in a faceted cut.
  • Special features : The sapphire is also known as the “gem of heaven” and together with the colorless diamond, the red ruby ​​and the green emerald forms the quartet of the most sought-after jewels.

Quality factors

Color

The incidence of light plays a major role in the color or shade of a sapphire. Blue sapphires can vary from colorless (i.e. white), yellow, green to an unusual orange or pink.

carat

1 carat (ct) corresponds to 0.2 grams - and indicates the weight of a gemstone. The higher the carat number, the more valuable the sapphire is. But this alone does not determine the value. Other factors such as color, clarity and cut play a major role.

purity

The purity also plays a role in the price. The most sought-after and therefore most expensive sapphire is one that is as transparent as possible and has few inclusions.

cut

For sapphires, the facet cut is mainly used because it positively highlights the optical properties of the gemstone.

Saphir Tropfenschliff

Pleochroism in Sapphires

Sapphires sometimes exhibit pleochroism. This means that the gemstone appears in different colors at different viewing angles. The gemstones usually look best in natural or fluorescent light.

Special Sapphires

The Most Desired

A sapphire that is as transparent as possible and has few inclusions is usually the most valuable. It shows its full beauty and splendor best in the so-called facet cut.

The Greatest

One of the most famous sapphires is the “Star of India”, which was discovered in Sri Lanka around 300 years ago. At 536 carats, it is the largest cut star sapphire and has been on display in the American Museum of Natural History in New York since 1900.
