About Sapphires: Sapphires can be found in an entire rainbow of colors

and is the official birthstone for the month of September.

Sapphire jewelry is also the traditional gift for the fifth and forty-fifth wedding anniversaries.

From red to orange, yellow and green, blue, violet and pink, the amazing

colors of sapphire will definitely capture your eye. In ancient times,

sapphires were thought to bring peace, joy, insight and wisdom. A dream

about sapphires was thought to foretell of escape from impending danger.





Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) was the foremost source of fines

sapphires until the incredible discovery of extraordinary stones in

Kashmir in 1880. Sadly, the Kashmir mines were essentially exhausted by 1930, leaving Sri Lanka as the location of the

world's most beautiful sapphires. Today sapphire mining takes place in Madagascar, Australia,

Montana, and Thailand, as well as other locations. Colors other than blue and

pink are referred to as "rainbow sapphires" or "fancy sapphires".

My Sapphire Source specializes in fine quality sapphires and offers an

amazingly gorgeous selection of sapphire rings, earrings, bracelets and

pendants. If you are looking for a one of a kind piece of sapphire

jewelry, we have many unique designs available.





Enhancements: Once a sapphire is mined from the Earth, it

is first cut into a shape that will best showcase the beauty of the stone.

Man has used many other methods

to draw maximum color, luster, clarity and brilliance from these

gemstones. The other most common treatment of sapphires is heating. Nearly

all sapphires are also heat treated to improve the clarity and

sometimes enhance the color of the stones. Heat treatment is permanent and

a standard acceptable practice in the fine jewelry industry. Less than 1%

of sapphires used in jewelry are actually unheated. These sapphires

generally command a premium in price over a heated sapphire, provided that

the color and clarity are comparable. MySapphireSource offers a few

unheated sapphires for the gem collector or for those who want the best of

the best. Most sapphires we offer have been heat treated.





Buying a Sapphire: Besides being found in an amazing array

of colors, sapphires are also the most durable gemstone, with a rating of 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness.

So in a sense, sapphires can be considered the ideal colored gemstone.

With so many colors and shapes available, it is easy to find one that

speaks to you. Sapphires in sizes of 1 carat and over are considered to be

important. We offer a wide range of colors from a traditional Ceylon blue, to rich lustrous royal blue

and navy blue, to many

styles with sunshine yellow

or lemon yellow, juicy orange, and some of the prettiest shades of pink,

like baby pink, bubble gum pink, pink diamond pink and hot pink. Our

rainbow sapphire jewelry is not to be missed either. We hand pick each and

every sapphire that we use in our jewelry.





Care of Sapphires: Be sure to clean your sapphire jewelry

regularly. With regular cleaning, your jewelry will look as good in 10 or

20 years as it does today. Dirt and grime can build up underneath the

stones and around the setting, and using a small soft-bristled brush and

lukewarm water is an easy method to keep your jewelry looking great. Since

sapphires are tough and durable, they can withstand most cleaning methods.

Steaming or ultrasonic cleaners are acceptable but MySapphireSource does

not recommend these methods since they can cause the settings to loosen

and stones to fall out. Just use common sense. Don't use strong chemicals

or boiling water to clean your sapphires.
