What is an orange sapphire?
An orange sapphire is a variety of corundum, the same mineral family that includes the well-known blue sapphires and rubies. Orange sapphires derive their color from the presence of trace elements such as iron and chromium. The intensity and shade of orange can vary, ranging from light, pastel hues to deep, vivid oranges. Some orange sapphires may also display secondary colors, such as yellow or pinkish tones.
How to care for orange sapphire jewellery?
- Cleaning: Clean orange sapphire jewellery with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the gemstone.
- Storage: Store orange sapphire pieces separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching. Use soft cloth pouches or lined jewellery boxes provided by Purejewels.
- Avoiding Heat and Chemicals: Keep orange sapphire jewellery away from excessive heat and chemicals, such as bleach or household cleaners, which can damage the stone or its setting.
- Professional Check-ups: Periodically have your jewellery checked by us to ensure that the settings are secure and the gemstone is in good condition.
Are orange sapphires rare?
Yes, orange sapphires are considered rare compared to other colors of sapphires. The specific combination of trace elements needed to create the orange hue is less common in nature. Additionally, high-quality orange sapphires with vivid, uniform color and good clarity are particularly rare and sought after in the gemstone market.
Can orange sapphires be used in engagement rings?
Yes, Orange sapphires can make stunning and unique choices for engagement rings. They are durable, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making them suitable for everyday wear. Their vibrant color adds a distinctive and personal touch to engagement ring designs, appealing to those looking for something different from traditional diamonds or blue sapphires.
What affects the value of an orange sapphire?
- Color: The most critical factor affecting the value of an orange sapphire is its color. Vivid, saturated oranges without secondary hues are the most valuable. Uniformity of color and the presence of a desirable tone also play significant roles.
- Clarity: Orange sapphires with fewer inclusions are more valuable. While some inclusions are common, those that affect the stone’s transparency or overall appearance can reduce its value.
- Cut: The quality of the cut influences the stone’s brilliance and overall aesthetic appeal. Well-cut orange sapphires that maximize color and minimize visible inclusions are highly prized.
- Carat Weight: Larger orange sapphires are rarer and thus more valuable, particularly if they maintain good color and clarity.
- Origin: The origin of the sapphire can also affect its value. Sapphires from certain locations, such as Sri Lanka or Madagascar, are often more highly regarded due to their superior quality.
These factors collectively determine the desirability and market price of an orange sapphire.
