The first thing you’ll want to ask when buying a blue sapphire is “what shade of blue should I get?” Colour is the most important element when assessing the value of a sapphire. The most sought after and prized colour is a strong vivid velvety blue to violet blue in medium, to medium-dark tones. From pale baby blue to royal blue, sapphire Australia comes in a large variety of hues. Essentially it comes down to your own personal tastes, it is up to you how light or dark you like your blue sapphire to be.

• Colour: The key factor in colour value is its saturation, essentially how pure or intense the colour seems. For most sapphires, the higher the level of saturation, the better.

• Clarity:  Sapphires with no inclusions should cast suspicion as there is high probability they are synthetic. You want to look for a Light blue sapphire that has no inclusions visible to the naked eye. Experts look at the size, location and number of inclusions to judge clarity.

• Carat: The weight of a sapphire is measured in carats. Typically, larger gem quality stones are harder to come by than smaller ones, so they are valued higher.
