SOLD Dark Blue Six Ray Star Sapphire, 2.81ct.

Star Sapphires are difficult to photograph as you can see.  In the photos where the star is most apparent, I used incandescent light while the other pictures are taken with fluorescent light.  Incandescent light is nearer to candlelight, so this will be truly beautiful during those romantic dinners...The Cabochon cut stone measures 7mm x 9mm, making it the perfect choice for a dignified ring or pendant, with or without accent stones.  It is $45.00. 

1.85ct Oval Pink Sapphire. 

Excellent strong color, this Sapphire measures 7.9mm x 6.6mm x 4.2mm and is VVS/IF clarity.  Beryllium heating probable, it is $70.00. 

1.89ct Golden Sapphire, Round/Oval.

Beryllium heating probable, this Sapphire is very strong in color and measures 9.2mm x 7.4mm x 5.2mm in a shape usually called 'Roval.'  VVS/IF, it is $60.00. 

2.06ct Pear Cut Pink Sapphire.

Just slightly darker than Baby Pink, the color is fairly represented in the photos, according to my monitor.  The center picture shows a strange orange-y spot in the center which is NOT present in the stone, but some bizarre trick of the reflection of the stone in my lens.  Beryllium heating probable, the Sapphire measures 11.5mm x 6.4mm x 3.7mm, VVS/IF and is $85.00. 

2.19ct Pear Cut Purple Sapphire.

Beryllium heating probable, this is a purple Sapphire from Vietnam.  VVS/IF clarity, it measures 10.28mm x 7.68mm x 4.8mm and is absolutely breathtaking.  It is $70.00. 

2.26ct Intense Pink Sapphire, Oval Cut.

A deep, powerful nearly Raspberry Pink, this is a fabulous Sapphire!  It measures 9.1mm x 6.7mm x 4.2mm and is VVS/IF clarity.  Beryllium heating probable, $85.00. 

2.29ct Medium Pink Sapphire, Oval Cut.

A very blue-toned Pink, this Sapphire measures 8.9mm x 7.3mm x 4.3mm and is VVS/IF in clarity.  Beryllium heating probable, it is $80.00. 

2.33ct Sparkling Pink Sapphire, Oval Cut.

Beryllium heating probable, this Pink Sapphire photographed slightly darker than its reality; the picture farthest left is the best color representation on my monitor.  Measuring 8.4mm x 7mm x 4.6mm, it is VVS/IF and $85.00. 

SOLD 2.39ct Padparadscha Orange Sapphire, Oval Cut.

Beryllium heating probable, this Sapphire is not just orange; it has strong reddish tones and some equally strong pink/coral tones as well, which support my use of the term 'Padparadscha.'  It measures 8.1mm x 6.7mm x 5.1mm and is VVS/IF; $75.00. 

2.55ct Strong Pink Sapphire, Oval Cut.

This is the color sometimes called Cotton Candy Pink, although the color is considerably darker than that particular confection.  Let's just say that there is absolutely no doubt that it is pink!  Measuring approximately 9mm x 7mm x 4.5mm, it is VVS/IF and it is $80.00.  Beryllium heating probable.

SOLD 2.87ct Pear Cut Blue Sapphire.

Almost violet in some lighting conditions, this healthy Blue Sapphire measures 9.3mm x 7.5mm x 5.5mm and is extremely reflective.  Beryllium heating probable, VVS/IF, $115.00. 

SOLD 2.95ct Fabulous Blue Sapphire, Oval Cut.

Intensely Royal Cornflower blue, this Sapphire measures 9mm x 7mm x 5mm and in person does not exhibit nearly the amount of purple in the sparkle as these pictures would imply; it's just blue through and through.  Beryllium heating probable, VVS/IF clarity, $115.00. 

3.29ct Brilliant White Sapphire Pear, Diamond E Color.

Measuring 11mm x 8mm x 5mm, this Sapphire is Diamond E in color and hovers on the border between VVS and IF clarity.  The sparkle and overall appearance is exponentially better in person than the photos show here.  It is $125.00. 

2.04ct Golden Yellow Ceylon Sapphire Oval. 

VVS/IF clarity, this little gem is sad because it didn't photograph as well as it should have.  There are NO brownish tones at ALL in this stone; it is a clean Golden Yellow; more yellow than orange, so to speak.  Measuring 8.5mm x 7.3mm x 5.4mm, it is very well cut and would be a fabulous addition to your next piece of jewelry.  It is $85.00. 

2.7ct Marquise Yellow Sapphire, Ceylon. 

VVS/IF clarity, this wonderful Marquise cut looks larger than its 2.7ct weight would imply.  It measures 13.4mm x 6.7mm x 3.7mm which gives it a very dramatic face up appeal.  Excellent Golden Yellow color, from Ceylon to you it is $125.00.

2.8ct Golden Orange Sapphire From Ceylon. 

Larger table and fine cut edges give this one a rare sparkle.  VVS clarity, mined and cut in Ceylon, the color is Orange/Yellow rather than Yellow/Orange.  It measures 9.9mm x 7.4mm x 5.4mm and weighs 2.8cts.  Stunning stone, it is only $135.00. 

2.13ct Orange Gold Sapphire, Ceylon. 

This is a very clean color in person; no brown tones at all, but strikingly clean Orange with just a hint of Golden.  Nice visible size, it measures 9.5mm x 6.8nn x 5.3mm for its weight of 2.13cts.  Beautiful VVS clarity, this high quality Sapphire is $95.00. 

2.35ct Ceylon Yellow Sapphire Oval. 

Smaller top table and brilliantly executed cutting make this Oval the one to choose.  Softly, brightly pastel yellow with golden sparkles, it is gently yet powerfully beautiful.  Measuring 9.5mm x 7.6mm x 5.6mm, it is VVS clarity from Ceylon and yours for $115.00.

2.51ct Yellow Ceylon Sapphire Oval.

VVS clarity, beautiful Yellow that is deeper than the photos; not Orange, but definitely leaning hard toward Golden.  Big table and traditional cutting display the clarity to advantage.  It measures 9.8mm x 7.7mm x 5.3mm to explain its weight, it is utterly beautiful and it is yours for only $100.00. 

SOLD 2.55ct Yellow Sapphire Oval From Ceylon. 

Extremely well cut, this magnificent Oval Sapphire from Ceylon measures 9.3mm x 7.6mm x 5.9mm for its weight of 2.55cts.  Color is top notch, so is color and clarity; VVS and brilliant, sparkly bright yellow.  It is $100.00. 

SOLD 3.7ct RBC White Sapphire, Ceylon. 

Ever wanted to have a ring that looks like it cost $50,000.00?  This Sapphire would be the perfect choice as the centerpiece!  Mined and cut in Ceylon, Diamond D to Diamond E color, IF clarity and Round Brilliant Cut, this heirloom quality Sapphire measures 8.9mm x 6.1mm, weighs 3.7cts and is yours for $245.00. 

HOLD 3.26ct Deep Cornflower Blue Sapphire Oval.

From Africa, IF clarity and unbelievable blue, comes this fantastic Oval Sapphire in a larger than usually available size.  It measures 9.8mm x 8mm x 5.2mm for that very respectable weight.  Prettier than photographed, in reality it has NO greenish cast whatsoever.  It is $195.00. 

4.03ct Pear Cut White Sapphire. 

Oh my, what a remarkable replacement for a Diamond!  This fabulous White Sapphire measures 11.3mm x 8.7mm x 5mm for that weight of 4.03cts.  From Ceylon, or Sri Lanka as it is now known, this White Sapphire has all the excellence in cut, clarity and color that Ceylon Sapphires are known for.  Shown to be IF clarity, I will still call it VVS/IF to avoid argument from anyone who may have magnification above the 40X I use to photograph these gems.  I would rate the color between Diamond D and Diamond E; this little miracle is yours for $275.00. 

SOLD 5.42ct Ceylon Blue Sapphire Oval.

Magnificent gem that is evidently rather shy; it refused to show you how beautiful the color is.  The Oval cut here has a big table which is responsible for the light refractive difficulties that make it appear to be so much less than it is in reality.  Lovely clear blue, it measures 11.3mm x 10mm x 5.3mm for a formidable weight of 5.42cts; pretty much unheard of nowadays in this VVS/IF clarity African Sapphire.  It is $265.00. 

Loose Oval Blue Sapphire, Fabulous Rich Color! 

No matter what else goes on in the world of Sapphires, the color Blue remains King and when the Blue is this fantastically rich deep blue it becomes the stuff of legend.  Traditional Oval cutting from Africa, this heated Sapphire measures 8.8mm x 6.8mm on top and is 4.6mm in depth for a carat weight of 2.48.  Possible Beryllium presence during heating, the clarity rating leans heavily away from VVS as it heads toward IF.  $124.00. 

Loose Yellow Golden Sapphire, Marquise Cut.

From Ceylon comes this heart-stopping Sapphire in one of my all time favorites, the Marquise Cut!  The color is rich and deep, ranging from Golden Yellow throughout to an impression of Orange along the edges where the complicated business of light refraction takes place between all those fantastic facets.  Measuring 13.9mm x 6.5mm on top and 3.4mm in depth, it weighs 2.64cts and looks like a whole lot more.  Far right on the Sapphire bar of my Presidium Gem Tester, the clarity is beyond magnificent, hovering gently around IF.  It's your call; $125.00. 

SOLD Loose Padparadscha Sapphire Oval.

Way past breathtaking, this Sapphire shines like the sun and sparkles like, well, Sapphire, of course!  Because of the 'IF' clarity, I am taking into consideration the possibility that Beryllium was present in the heating chamber with this Sapphire; it's a process that has become quite common and while some folks are on the fence about it, others are just grateful to be able to get Sapphires of this stunning color and clarity.  This is a large but not over the top stone measuring 8.5mm x 7.3mm on top and has a depth of 5.3mm.  From Tanzania to you, it is $146.00.

Round Cut Green Sapphire 3.4cts+.

Possibly heated with Beryllium in the chamber, this is a very beautiful Green Sapphire measuring 8.6mm in diameter and having a depth of 5.5mm for a carat weight of just over 3.45cts.  Primary to Forest green in color, the clarity rating knocks on the door of IF and then opens the door and lets itself inside.  The Presidium Gem Tester almost didn't have enough 'Sapphire' space for the needle when I tested this one; what a lovely Tanzanian gem!  It is yours for $94.00. 

SOLD Loose Oval Green Sapphire, Over 5cts.

Primary green in some lights and with a slight bluish cast in others, this is one formidable Sapphire.  Measuring 11.2mm x 8.1mm on the face and having a depth of 5.8mm, it weighs in just over 5cts; hardly a bantam, is it?  Possible Beryllium in the chamber during the heating process, this Sapphire is so close to IF as to make no difference; I rarely say IF only because there is always someone who will take exception to it.  This awesome large Sapphire is from Tanzania and is yours for $202.00. 

SOLD Loose Sapphire, Padparadscha Square Princess.

What a marvelously precise stone this is!  Absolute corners, fabulous cut, astonishing clarity (IF or nearly so) and stunning pink-orange-peach coloring best known as Padparadscha.  Pretty much all Sapphires are heated and this one is no exception; I believe (but have no evidence to support that belief) that Beryllium was heated with the Sapphire to strengthen this extreme clarity and fantastic color.  Highly reflective cut made it difficult to photograph; it sparkles like Arctic ice and measures 7.3mm to a side and has a depth of 5.4mm for a carat weight of 3.2cts and just a smidge more.  Extremely high quality stone from the mines in Tanzania, it is $133.00. 

SOLD Loose Green Sapphire Round 8.5mm. 

Extremely strong color in this heated Green Sapphire, likely heated with Beryllium present in the chamber to strengthen color.  A nice large stone measuring 8.5mm on the face and with a depth of 5.8mm, it weighs over 3.7cts and is a deep primary green with nearly IF clarity!  Testing to the outer extreme of Sapphire on the Presidium Gem Tester, it is from Tanzania and it is $98.00. 

SOLD 4.52ct Blue Sapphire Trillion, Violet Overtone.

From Africa we get this beautiful Blue Sapphire Trillion.  You may or may not be able to make out the slight violet tone present in this Sapphire; it is what Tanzanite always wanted to be but simply can't.  This is a nice sized stone weighting 4.52cts and measuring 9.3mm x 9.2mm x 4.52mm so would make a marvelous solitaire or centerpiece stone for a large piece of jewelry.  This Sapphire is heated, and with this IF/VVS clarity it is possible that beryllium was present during the heating.  Top quality gem, it is $185.50. 

Matched Pair RBC White Sapphires, Diamond Color.

This pair was ordered for a client who then disappeared, so now you have the chance to own them.  Accent size stones for a ring or for classy subtle earrings, the stones measure each 3mm in Round Brilliant Cut and are Diamond D color, VVS-IF clarity.  This wonderful quality pair of Sapphires is yours for $20.00.

SOLD 3mm RBC White Sapphire, IF Diamond D Color.

Fabulous, price-conservative natural replacement for Diamonds, these White Sapphires are only slightly less hard, and more than twice as beautiful with their better than Diamond clarity and better than affordable in Diamond color!  They average .15ct each and are sold individually for $10.00 each. 

Blue Marquise Sapphires, 5mm x 2.5mm VS.

The faintest touch of green is visible in some of these from only certain angles when the right combination of light comes along; otherwise they are just intensely blue!  Nice little accents or the main focus as a cluster, they average .10ct each.  Top notch color, very nice clarity; these are your Sapphires at $10.00 each. 

3.5mm Palest Blue Sapphire Rounds, IF/VVS.

Averaging .15ct each, these are SO beautiful in person!  At first glance the pale, silvery blue gets your attention; then the magnificent clarity and unbelievable light refraction mesmerizes you!  These are truly exceptional and they are $15.00 each. 

2.5mm VVS White Sapphire, Diamond E Color.

Actually, I have a batch marked 2.5mm and a batch marked 2.6mm, but I doubt you will be able to tell the difference with the naked eye or even with a bit of help, so I am selling all of them as 2.5mm just to make it easier.  These have brilliant sparkle, excellent clarity and wonderful color, or lack thereof!  How many do you need for your project?  They are only $8.00 each. 

6-Ray Black Star Sapphire Cabochon.

Measuring 12.8mm x 6.8mm x 4.8mm and weighing 5.12cts, this Black Star Sapphire comes to you direct from the cutter in Thailand.  A strange shade of black, it is at once black, dark grey and taupe.  I have a great deal of difficulty photographing Star stones as you can see; this one is a six-ray star and the only photo that caught it is the center photo.  It is $45.00. 

SOLD 4-Ray Black Star Sapphire Cabochon.

9.80cts, measuring 14.7mm x 10mm x 7.1mm, this is a VERY nice Star Sapphire.  Even though it is considered 'less desirable' as it is four rays instead of six, the star is sharp and easier to find than most of the available material out there.  Definitely large enough to be the central focus of a wonderful piece of jewelry!  It is $60.00. 

4pc. Package Blue Sapphires, 2.10cttw.

These ovals measure 4mm x 6mm for a total weight of 2.10cts.  They are slightly more green in person, plus the overall color is richer than their appearance above.  VS clarity, the package of four would make one or more delightful pieces of jewelry.  $25.00. 

Pink Sapphire Ovals, Pkg1L, Pkg2C, Pkg3R.

The package numbers indicate your choice of either the left, center, or right pairs of these pretty Raspberry Pink Sapphires.  The pairs left and right would be suitable for earrings, as they are well matched for size and color.  The center pair is a pair only so far as pair can be described as 'two.'  One is quite a lot larger than the other, so these would be best displayed as a ring or pendant with good design.  The two matched pairs are approximately 4mm x 6mm each, while the center pair's stones measure approximately 5mm x 7mm and 4mm x 5mm.  They are completely natural and untreated.  Choose a pair for $8.00.

16 Piece Multi Color Sapphire Rounds, 2.5mm.

These are a party waiting to happen!  Beautiful colors and clarity assembled here in this 16pc group of 2.5mm Round cut Sapphires!  As you can see in the pictures, 8 of them are Blue, and there are 2 Golden, 2 Yellow, 2 Pink, 1 Blush and 1 Red; these would make a beautiful ring, wouldn't they?  Excellent choice, the package is only $48.00.

SOLD 3mm Dark Cornflower Blue Sapphire, 14pcs Round Cut.

These are the perfect color for Blue Sapphire in the quintessential sense.  Not so dark as to appear black, or 'midnight,' and none of the greenish overtones common to the medium-dark blues, either.  VS-VVS clarity, these could stand alone as a cluster ring or be a surround to something else.  The package of 14pcs is only $70.00.

SOLD Package of Loose Blue Sapphires, 14pcs.

These lovely African Sapphires have excellent color and VS clarity to offer, and they do have an awful lot of presence.  They are 2.4mm each, and the 14 pieces have a total weight of 1.0ct, making them around .07ct each.  Buy the package of 14 for $40.00.

White Sapphire Oval Package, 15 Pieces.

Also from Madagascar, we bring you this fantastic package of 4mm x 6mm White Sapphire VS Oval cuts.  Looking at the far left picture, you will see that the group of seven there has a slight pinkish cast, which would play very well as accent stones to something bigger used as a centerpiece, while the eight pieces to the right do not have this faint pink cast.  They will be sold as two separate packages; the seven Pink/White or the eight White Sapphires for $35.00; take all fifteen of them for $60.00.

Lot of 4 Blue Sapphire Ovals, Ceylon.

These are heated Sapphires, and the color is Blue beyond your most cherished fantasies about how Sapphire should be.  The package weighs 1.15cts, and these measure 4mm x 3mm, with a depth of 2.1mm, so these will be excellent accent stones.  This group is $35.00.

 Six Pieces, Oval Blue Sapphire, VS Ceylon.

SOLD Royal Blue Sapphire Oval, 1.5cts, Ceylon.

This one is barely out of the VS range to SI, and is heated but not treated.  It measures 8mm x 5.4mm, with a depth of 3.3mm.  Really a pretty little stone, it could stand on its own or have company in the form of other Sapphires if you should choose.  This one is $45.00.
