Quality Factors

Especially the incidence of light plays a major role in the color or hue of a sapphire. Deviations of the blue sapphires range from colorless (i.e. white), yellow, green to an extraordinary orange or pink.
Purity also plays a role in the price. The most sought-after and therefore the most expensive is a
sapphire that is as transparent as possible with few inclusions.
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. But it alone does not determine the value. Other factors
such as color, purity and cut play a major role.
For sapphires, the facet cut is mainly used, as this positively emphasizes the optical properties of the gemstone.
