Buying a Sapphire: In a sense, sapphires can be considered the ideal colored gemstone. They are the most durable, with a rating of 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, and they come in every color of the rainbow. When selecting a pink sapphire, select one with a color that speaks to you. Sapphires come in so many shades of pink, from hot pink, bubblegum, rose, baby, or pink diamond pink. MySapphireSource offers a large selection of pink sapphires in different colors, sizes and shapes, so you will be sure to find one that you love. Sapphires over 1 carat in size are considered to be important, and honestly, no two are alike. That's why most of our jewelry is one of a kind. Sapphires are generally clean stones but some minor inclusions are acceptable. Nearly all of the sapphires at MySapphireSource.com are eye clean and just as important, all are pleasing to the eye. Don't forget to check out our gorgeous blue and yellow sapphires too. And we have an amazing collection of rainbow sapphire jewelry that will complement just about everything in your wardrobe. We hand pick each and every sapphire that we use in our jewelry.

About Sapphires: Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) was the foremost source of fine sapphires until the incredible discovery of extraordinary stones in Kashmir in 1880. Unfortunately, the Kashmir supply was essentially exhausted by 1930, leaving Sri Lanka as the location of the world's most beautiful sapphires. Today sapphire mining takes place in Madagascar, Australia and Thailand, as well as other locations. At MySapphireSource, we offer as many Ceylon sapphires as we can. Fine quality stones tend to have more fire and sparkle than similar quality stones or other origins. Colors other than blue, pink and red are referred to as "rainbow sapphires" or "fancy sapphires". Red sapphires are known as rubies.

Sapphire Gifts: Sapphire jewelry is the traditional gift for the fifth and forty-fifth wedding anniversaries and sapphire is the birthstone for September. My Sapphire Source specializes in fine quality sapphires and offers an amazingly gorgeous selection of sapphire rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants.

Enhancements: Once a sapphire is mined, it is first cut into a shape that will best showcase the beauty including the color and brilliance of the stone. There are also other methods by which man has demonstrated his ability to draw maximum color, luster, clarity and brilliance from these gemstones. Heat treatment is a common and industry accepted treatment that is used on nearly all sapphires. The heat treatment can improve the color and clarity of the stones. The treatment is permanent and heated sapphires require no special care over their unheated counterparts. Less than 1% of sapphires used in jewelry are actually unheated. These sapphires generally command a premium in price over a heated sapphire, provided that the color and clarity are comparable. MySapphireSource offers a few unheated sapphires for the gem collector or for those who want the best of the best. Most sapphires we offer have been heat treated.

Care of Sapphires: Be sure to clean your pink sapphire jewelry regularly. With regular cleaning, your jewelry will look as good in 10 or 20 years as it does today. Dirt and grime can build up underneath the stones and around the setting, causing stones to look dull and unattractive. Using a small soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water is an easy method to keep your jewelry looking great. Since sapphires are tough and durable, they can withstand most cleaning methods. Steaming or ultrasonic cleaners can be used but MySapphireSource.com doesn't recommend these methods because they can cause stones to fall out by loosening the settings. Avoid strong chemicals or boiling water to clean your sapphires.
