About Blue Sapphire as a Gemstone
Sapphire is the gem variety of corundum, an aluminium oxide crystallising in the trigonal system. Blue is the colour most people picture, but corundum occurs in nearly every hue, including pink, yellow, green and violet. Only red corundum takes a separate name, ruby. Trace iron, titanium and chromium drive the colour. You can read more via gemmological reference, mineral data.
Corundum forms in aluminium-rich, silica-poor settings, typically metamorphosed limestones and marbles or alkali basalts that carry crystals upward from depth. Because corundum resists weathering so well, many working deposits are alluvial, with crystals recovered from river gravels far from their original host rock.

Popular Uses
Sapphire is a mainstay of fine jewellery. At Mohs 9 it is the hardest gem material after diamond and moissanite, which makes it very well suited to rings and bracelets that face daily contact. A Blue Sapphire of this size works particularly well as the centre stone in a bespoke piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Blue Sapphire?
This stone measures 7.5 x 6 x 3.9 mm and weighs 1.5 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
What metal pairs best with this blue sapphire?
Traditional yellow gold warms up the deep blue tones, while platinum or white gold creates a crisp, modern contrast. Your jeweller can help you choose a setting that complements the specific depth of colour.
Is this stone suitable for daily wear?
Yes, corundum is one of the hardest natural minerals available and handles everyday use with ease. It resists scratching far better than softer coloured gemstones.
How should I clean my sapphire jewellery?
Warm soapy water and a soft brush will safely remove everyday oils and dust from the pavilion facets. Dry the piece thoroughly with a lint-free cloth after rinsing.
Can a jeweller easily set this oval cut?
The symmetrical outline and standard girdle thickness allow for secure prong or bezel setting by any experienced bench jeweller. No special precautions are needed beyond standard gemstone handling care.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
We contact you directly as soon as your order is placed to arrange delivery, so you always know where the parcel is. Returns are accepted within 7 days of the date you receive the item.
