Sapphire is the gemstone of truth. In ancient times, a gift of a sapphire was a pledge of honesty and devotion. Kate Middleton's sapphire engagement ring is the latest in a long tradition of royal sapphires. When shopping for sapphire jewelry, the most important factors to consider are quality, color and cut of the sapphire. The more vibrant and bright the hue, the more valuable the sapphire will be. Also, the larger the carat weight, the more the sapphire will cost per carat. Before their final polish, most sapphires are heat-enhanced to almost 2,000 degrees in order to improve the color and clarity. This stable treatment does not require special care and does not reduce the gem's value. Sapphire is the September birthstone, the 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Virgo. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality sapphire will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine sapphire jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
