Sapphire Stone Prices By Color: Blues, Teals, Padparadscha, Pinks & More!

Do you know your sapphire prices?
Today I'm joined by an FGA gemologist, to show you how the color of your sapphire can heavily influence the cost of your gemstone.

All stones used in the video are roughly 1ct, eye clean and heat treated, so we can really show you the difference in priced based on the saturation, hue and color of the sapphire. If you aren't familiar with heat treatments, we cover this terminology and type of treatment as well. Time stamps below. We will cover blue, pink, green, purple, yellow, white and padparadscha sapphires.
We also have a section at the end of the video for "eye candy". In this segment we will be showing market prices for stones over 1.5cts+
We would love to know your favorite color!

I assume these are retail prices? Canadian dollar? I'm NY jeweler. Per monks, ancient sanskrit; Padparadscha is cross of pink purple(ish) of lotus flower & Sunrise of Bengali bay. Over saturation is good indication of treated stone. Unfortunately all period examples are missing/stolen. But, My fav sapphire.

Very informative. Love your vids. I just ordered a yellow sapphire ring and it did look great with yellow gold setting. Can't wait to see it in person. 🤩

[iiniijewelry]

Really great information. I shared this in my community page.

[nickmcneill]

HI thanks for the informative video, could you also do a piece on parti stones and the variation you can find in colours. Thanks

I have a 3 carat red zircon as the center stone in my engagement ring. I want to switch out but a 3 carat sapphire would cost thousands. Especially a teal one, which is what I'd love. Soooo, ain't gonna happen so I'm thinking a tourmaline.

This is very helpful. I have a few different sapphires, and I learned a lot.

I have a couple of yellow sapphires that are treated with beryllium. I usually try to buy unheated sapphire, but the only yellow I can find I like is Be treated. Yellow is my favorite color sapphire.

Informative video. Congratulations on a fine job.

Just sent yesterday a small parcel of 33 carat yellow green Montana sapphires. Make sure they're actually AR what there supposed to be. All small will cut under a carrot. Great show

[ishiniperera]

Thank you so much 💗 Dr
Looking forward to more information about Gem Market

[muradsinan]

Watched the entire video very informative. With regards to the yellow sapphire I thought beryllium treated stones are not globally accepted. I am a trader of gems too, FYI. Please enlighten if possible??

[Saiege]

So i have a HUGE question!!

I have a purple stone from my great grandmas ring in which i have always thought it was amethyst. Its round cut, almost 1 carat, grade A purple stone, lavender with red reflexes.

The red has always thrown me off. In which then i knew it wasnt amethyst.

I took it to a jeweler and they took a look at it and thought it was fake. Its that crazy looking. It pretty much shifts to 3 different colors in different lighting.

Under the scope is the craziest change. It turns to an intersting green. Not emerald. The only stone that does that is Alexandrite.

When they tested the stone, is where the plot twists even more! Its pulling sapphire!!!

Have you ever seen or heard or seen a sapphire with Alex characteristic?

Do i have a rare stone??

[faslurrahman]

nice explanation and thank you for your kind information but may i know pink and blue heated stone how to depend the price mam

CEYLON Sapphire is the same as Sri Lankan blue sapphire. Sri Lanka used to be called Ceylon in the '50s and '60s under British rule until an official name change in 1972 following independence in 1948, and Sri Lanka became a republic within the then British Commonwealth countries. To date, the traditional name "Ceylon Sapphire" is held as a source of identification for blue sapphires from Sri Lanka.
The Padparadscha sapphires, too, are commonly found in Sri Lanka, especially the more orangey pink hues, and in recent years, this corundum has been found in Madagascar and Tanzania.

If the 2.5ct “Not heat treated” blue sapphire would have been the same color as the 2.6ct “Heat treated” sapphire, how much would it have increased in price? Also, the blue sapphires over 3ct, were those heat treated or not heat treated?

I’m also curious to know how price increases when jewelry is made out of these stones…ex. Heated treated and not heated treated in a platinum ring setting vs white gold/yellow gold setting + diamonds, etc. I’d love to see a video talking about that. Great video!

[chanappadhotre]

How would we know that sapphire is natural or heat treated.do we need to do some testing or what??

[Eclectic_RN]

I love the presentation! Thank you. I had no idea white sapphire was even valuable. Perhaps your viewers would like to know Padparadscha sapphires are revered because they have the color of the sacred lotus. (Nelumbo Nucifera 'Speciosa’). The name comes from Sanskirt and translates loosely to “color of lotus.”
