If a client wants us to source a gemstone we like to select 3 or 4 in to illustrate the differences in value. Sapphires are a very cost-effective coloured stone. And they come in every hue of the rainbow. They are tough and will last a lifetime without scratching if taken care of. Pictured is 3 purple sapphires on Canadian and US bills. If you have one compare it to the colour on your monitor. A modern camera still can not capture the colours that the eye can see (think of taking a photo of the sunset and comparing it to the real thing). If possible it is best to choose stones in person. We also educate clients on cutting quality and clarity and colour saturation.
