About Sapphires

Sapphires come in a rainbow of colors and are the birthstone for September. They are also the traditional gift for the 5th and 45th anniversaries. Sri Lanka, once the primary source of fine sapphires, remained dominant after Kashmir’s rare 1880 discovery was nearly depleted by 1930. Today, sapphires are also mined in Madagascar, Australia, Montana, and Thailand. Non-blue, pink, or red sapphires are called "rainbow" or "fancy" sapphires, while red sapphires are classified as rubies. MySapphireSource specializes in fine-quality sapphires, offering an exceptional selection of rings, earrings, bracelets, and pendants, including unique, one-of-a-kind designs.

Enhancements

Once mined, a sapphire is expertly cut to enhance its natural beauty. To maximize color, luster, and clarity, most sapphires undergo heat treatment, a permanent and industry-accepted process that enhances their brilliance. This improves transparency and often intensifies color, making heated sapphires an excellent choice for fine jewelry. Less than 1% remain unheated, commanding a premium when their quality matches treated stones. MySapphireSource offers select unheated sapphires for collectors but primarily features heat-treated sapphires, ensuring exceptional color and clarity at the best value.

Care of Sapphires

With regular cleaning, your jewelry will stay brilliant for decades. Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove dirt from under the stones and around the setting. Sapphires are durable and withstand most cleaning methods, but MySapphireSource advises against steam or ultrasonic cleaners, as they may loosen settings. Avoid strong chemicals or boiling water.

Fun Fact

Orange sapphires have long been associated with vitality, success, and inner strength. In ancient times, warriors and leaders wore them as talismans, believing they could boost courage and bring good fortune in battle and negotiations. Some cultures even linked them to prosperity, seeing their fiery hue as a symbol of wealth and ambition. Today, orange sapphires continue to represent confidence and determination, making them a meaningful choice for those who want a gemstone that embodies both beauty and personal power.
