Blue Sapphire Jewelry Shopping Tips
Blue sapphire jewelry can vary greatly. It can be a stand-alone piece with blue sapphires alone or it can also contain other gems. For example, mothers and grandmothers often like jewelry, be it rings or necklaces, that include the colors of their children or grandchildren's birthstones respectively.

Diamond and Sapphire Gemstone Rings
Another favorite are diamond sapphire rings. Diamond sapphire rings combine both diamonds and blue sapphires . In the proper arrangement they can look positively stunning. Although yellow gold can be used, a sapphire platinum ring seems to show of the brilliance of the blue stone much better. So if you want to bring out the shine in your sapphire gem consider a sapphire platinum ring over yellow gold.

Sapphire Gemstone Evaluation and Valuation
The most important considerations for the evaluation and valuation of a sapphire, both blue and fancy color is color, size and clarity. Sapphire gemstones also are evaluated by the source of origin. A Burma or Kashmir sapphire gemstone will have a higher value than a Sri Lankan sapphire of equal quality. Source can be determined by gemological tests so this has become an important criterion in valuation of very fine, larger gem sapphires. The treatment of sapphires also plays an important factor. Natural, untreated sapphire gemstones will have a higher valuation than a similar quality heat treated sapphire as they are much rarer.
