Sapphire Colours: More Than Just Blue

Sapphires are available in so many different colors, a rainbow of vibrancy at your fingertips. Sapphires are synonymous with the most popular, deep royal blue, but come in almost every hue imaginable, including colorless (clear), which is sometimes used as a diamond alternative. Luscious pink, orange, yellow, and green sapphires are set into tennis bracelets and other mountings side by side, accentuating the shade next to it.

Are Sapphires Valuable?

A sapphire’s value is dependent on its color and region. According to GIA (Gemological Institute of America), the most valuable blue sapphires exhibit a velvety blue to violetish blue, ranging from medium to medium-dark tones. Less valuable blue sapphires are too light or too dark (think almost blue-black), but these sapphires are still beautiful.
