QUALITY SCALE
UNTREATED SRI LANKAN SAPPHIRES

HOW
TO CHOOSE
The main point when
selecting a sapphire of two
or more carats, regardless
of its color tone or country
of origin, is an attractive
mosaic pattern.
For smaller
stones, choose one with a lighter
color rather than an overly
dark stone. For pieces used
and worn in jewelry, the stone
should be brilliant under various
types of lighting.
Large sapphires
with a somewhat light color
are recommended, as they will
be both beautiful and affordable.
The value of a three-carat-size,
untreated Sri Lankan sapphire
of jewelry quality is approximately
US$4,000 for the stone alone.
