white sapphire stone

white sapphire stone

White sapphire belongs to the corundum family and shows 9 on the Mohs Gem Hardness Scale. They are also very rare to find, especially the naturally occurring ones. In their natural form, they are generally pale or muddy brown. However, they can be treated to a flawlessly clear and colourless sparkling stone. Lab certification usually contains all the details related to the treatments they underwent.

White Sapphires generally look beautiful in silver or platinum. They are also highly preferred for creating antique designs, especially in rings. Furthermore, just like diamonds, they go well with other gemstones such as rubies, emeralds, pearls, etc. They are often used in rings, necklaces, lockets and earrings along with other gems mostly as an alternative to diamonds to make the jewellery affordable and appealing at the same time.

Mostly, the value of white sapphire is decided by taking their origin, colour, clarity, carat weight and cut into consideration. However, higher clarity and a higher degree of colourlessness together make a white sapphire most expensive. The presence of even little traces of colour can bring down its value.

In comparison with diamonds

Diamonds sparkle forever no matter what, but white sapphires need to be polished from time to time to retain their lustre.

Diamonds are hard, but white sapphires are harder, which makes them more resistant to chipping than diamonds over time.
