All About Sapphires
Welcome to The Clear Cut classroom, where we take deep dives into all things diamonds and jewelry! Do you love sapphires? If these gemstones speak to you for your next jewelry piece, learn about them here!
Sapphires are part of the corundum family and are an all-time favorite gem of ours. And sapphires are the birthstone for the month of September! Being one of the hardest gems next to diamonds, sapphires land at a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, with diamonds topping off at a hardness of 10. This makes sapphires a great stone to wear everyday if you want a pop of color in your jewelry.
But blue isn't the only color for sapphires! Sapphires come in all shades of the rainbow from blue, pink, green, yellow. The list goes on! In our fine jewelry collection at The Clear Cut, we feature blue and pink sapphires in some of our pieces. If you want to create a custom piece of jewelry and envision using sapphires of other colors, we can source those options for you to bring your vision to life!
Pink Sapphire Chelsea Chain Bracelet
Did you know that we get a completely different name when we have a red sapphire? When a pink sapphire becomes so saturated in color and turns red, we call it a ruby! They are still classified in the corundum family and still maintains the same hardness. Rubies are great option for everyday wear too!
