Sapphire Overview:
Sapphire is a rare gemstone that may take millions of years to form naturally in recrystallized limestone and metamorphic rocks.
Sapphire, like ruby, is made of corundum or alumina minerals, and changes color when other minerals are present during the formation process.
There are many colors of sapphire, including pink, yellow and the most popular blue.
Sapphire represents peaceful existence, enlightenment and wisdom.
Royal blue is traditionally given on the 5th, 45th or 70th anniversary of marriage.
Blue sapphire is very popular due to its blue color, hardness (second only to diamond), durability and luster (the sparkle produced by the luminous properties of the gemstone).

Sapphire Pricing
Like diamonds, the price of sapphires depends on many factors, including weight. The actual cost per carat can range from fairly cheap (less than $50) to thousands of dollars. In general, they are usually cheaper than diamonds, so choosing a center sapphire with diamond decoration can be more cost-effective than traditional diamond engagement rings.
Even better: your sapphire and diamond ring can add sparkle, which means you can reduce the quality of the sapphire as needed. Lower clarity sapphires may seem a little dull, but diamond halo can offset this effect-not all sapphire and diamond ring are sapphires with diamond halo. You can use a sapphire solitaire with a diamond band, or even a sapphire center stone with two side diamonds.
