A wonderfully brilliant  2.18ct Sapphire that shows a color shift from a pleasant dusty salmon to bright reddish or purplish pink!   (blgj-10-01)  $2,180

A	B
A -  6.4mm Round 1.23ct Sapphire, not often seen in this size, shape and fine color!  (blgj-10-04)  $984
B -  6.5mm Round 1.30ct Sapphire, not often seen in this size, shape and fine color!   (awa-10-03)  $1,040

6mm Round Sapphire, again a large size, great color with a glowing blue.  Jewelry stores love this material because it is not common - the low end very dark sapphire is readily available in most stores and has a high markup.  Maybe purchased separately - total weight of these two gems is 1.94cts.  Each piece would therefore weigh just under 1ct!  (blgj-10-03p)  $800/ct

A	B
A -  What a Sparkler!  A very brilliant deeply colored pink ice Sapphire.  Unusual color and it weighs in at 2.32cts!   (awa-10-02)  $1,740    SOLD! (Trade)
B -  Super 1.62ct Orangy Sapphire  (awa-10-01)  $1,944

A	B
A -   Another shape not commonly seen in Fine Sapphire and that is why we have it in inventory!  It weighs 2.88cts and is a fancy emerald cut.   (blgj-10-02)  $2,880
B -  An Unheated 1.67ct Orangy Sapphire.  Many people would call this a Padparadscha - we never make that determination.  We buy Pads and sell them as Orange Sapphire, and frequently purchase Ruby and sell them as Pink Sapphire!   View  AGL Cert .    (bbjwl-10-01)  $2,975

Fine deep glowing blue Radiant Cut  Sapphire of  1.74cts.  A favorite shape of goldsmiths because emerald related shapes in Fine Sapphire are very uncommon.  (awa-10-04)  $1,392

An 18kt Yellow Gold Bracelet with approximately 6 carats of Fine 2.5mm Princess Cut Sapphires.  The Sapphires are found in our associates mines in Sri Lanka, and he delivered them to Hong Kong where the bracelet is assembled/created.  We sell this to stores at about $1375 and we have seen them selling as high as $3000 or more.  Your cost for the only  piece  that we have currently in inventory - $1375.  As always, this comes with our 7 Day Money Back Guarantee and LifeTime Guarantee.  Most Sapphires are heated, and there are a only a few Be treated Sapphires in the vicinity of the orange color to make a good transition from one color to the next.  Natural orange is too rare to be found in quantity and there would be too much waste to facet squares if the rough would cut larger gemstones.  We feel confident that this is fantastic buy - if you are worried about pricing, visit your local store and ask to see a Rainbow Sapphire Bracelet - and see what the prices are.  Also, we will bet the pieces you see are NOT be 18kt gold!  If you calculate the price of the sapphires in the bracelet, it works out to be only $229/ct ($1375 divided by 6cts) and that does not include the 18kt gold.  Yours for the taking at only $1375 (or should 'taking' be changed to 'stealing')   Enjoy!  (blgj-10-05)  $1375  SOLD! (Trade)

1.68ct Parti-Colored Sapphire from Australia.  Looks blue at the tip as well as the top, with yellow-green in the center.  The body color is actually a yellow, but blue zoning (shown in the photo  on the right), blends the colors producing a more greeny body color with the ends being blue.  A nice parti-color that many people really enjoy.  Can be easily set as the dimensions are approximately 9x6mm, a calibrated size. (ogm-07-01b2)  $672 (only $400/ct)

Something unique among the unique!

It is rare to find fine quality gemstones that are matched for earrings, but here is a case.  Matched Fine Quality  Blue Sapphire that are truly matched in size, color and cutting,  like those we currently have in stock,  are rare, but finding a matched pair of pinkish Sapphires is pretty much unheard of.  These are color shifters too - they are more subdued in some lights but are much brighter/saturated in other lights, going from perhaps a dusty rose to bright pink with maybe a hint of purple.  Under jewelry store lights, this pair is INCREDIBLE!  Total weight is 3.05cts  (kaek-07-11)  $3,660 Can you imagine these as earrings with nice white diamonds accenting the vivid color?

1.18ct Oval Green Sapphire, African Medium Green, hint of Blue  (expgem-08-01)  6.2 x 5.12 x 4.2 mm $590

2.35ct Dark Blue Australian Sapphire faceted by our Master Facetor.   Fairly typical for Aussie Sapphire, but it is a well faceted, over 2 carat Blue Sapphire and priced to move at only $450/ct!  That's $1,058 for the gem.....(ogm-07-01b3)

2.14ct Star Corundum, purchased as a Star Ruby and would be considered a Ruby in Europe as well as other places in the world.  In the Gemstone Profile of Modern Jewelers Magazine, the photographed Star Ruby has a similar color as the one above.  We are calling it Star Corundum and the new owner can decide whether they want to call it Star Ruby or Star Sapphire.  Whatever one calls it, the star is really strong,  has a good 6-ray star and is a fine example of a natural star.  (minco-08-01)  $1,070

This INCREDIBLE 1.73ct Purple Sapphire comes from Ceylon.  It stood out among many hundreds of Rubies that we were looking at.  It was marked as a Ruby and we couldn't convince the dealer  that this label was incorrect, EVEN after we had the gemstone certed as a Sapphire (and another plus of the cert is that it is a Non-Heated gem!).  The color is actually the color of many of the Mozambique Fuschia to Purple Tourmalines that we have been purchasing.  Note that in person, the color is saturated but shows lots of sparkle and scintillation, with the major color being a deep magenta purple.  In 26 years in the gemstone business, we haven't had a little beauty like this.  Under incandescent lights it Dances...and could possibly contain Chromium like Ruby.  (7.29x5.65x4.87mm) (svd-07-04)  $2,595

A 2.88ct Ovaly-Cushion Blue-Indigo Sapphire from Thailand.  An incredible example and we were only able to obtain one....(8.36x7.27x5.53mm)   Has a paper Cert from Burapha Gemological Lab (BGL) in Chantaburi.  Since we hadn't done business with the individual who owned this gemstone, and the color, clarity, cutting were all good, we wanted to insure that our purchase was natural.  The cert indicates "Natural Blue Sapphire" and will accompany the sale.  A second cert from AGL will also accompany the purchase.  (kaek-07-17)   $7,225

Certed 4.45ct Cushion Yellowish Gold Sapphire (heated)  from Thailand.   Small inclusion under the table but nothing obvious - a very nice sized Sapphire! (9.27x7.77x6.70mm)  (gmtown-07-05)   $2,448

1.98ct Green Sapphire

Most green sapphires are too dark, show zoning, inclusion as well as blue or yellow along with the green.  Many do not even have a nice green color.  Though slightly dark, this shows a nice green under bright lights and is a good example of what some of this material can look like.  We have only had one other fine green sapphire in stock over these past 25 years.  We will continue to seek out this material as the fine ones are quite rare and a challenge to find!  Eye clean, decent cut, good green color.  (gemplz-06-01)  $1,485

1.75ct Greenish Sapphire

Some sapphires have strong dichroism and when faceted, the colors blend or the differences in color  show up on the ends of the faceted gemstone.  This unique piece seems to be blue and yellow, so the colors tend to mix, creating a unique gemstone whose body color is more green, but whose components of blue and yellow show through when one looks closely at the gemstone.   (tog-05-01)  $700

A wonderful medium dark blue, Translucent which is what you want and it has a nice star when in the proper light.  Since the star is also centered in the middle of this gem (and this is usually not the case!), it was difficult to photograph the star looking down on the stone.  For those who understand Star Sapphire, you will be amazed at the color, the size, the star, the translucency and the price!   Approx 8.0x7.2x7.1mm   (aw-04-01)   $3,408

7.60ct Color Change Sapphire

This gemstone was discovered on a family's farm in Sri Lanka approximately 65 years ago and was recut from over 10cts to produce this brilliant gemstone.  The color is a wonderful rich, velvety blue to a beautiful purple depending on the lighting available.  Due to the color, faceting, size, etc., we have yet to see a finer example or a better price.   This has been exhibited within a dealers booth in Tucson - he sells fancy colored diamonds which may sell for more than one million dollars.  Though he is known for diamonds, he displayed this fine gem just because of his knowledge of how rare this particular stone is.  The woman responsible for viewing gemstones for Christie's Auction House in Chicago has also seen the piece and has also indicated that this is the finest example of a color change sapphire of this size that she has seen to date.    (pgml-93-01)) Approximate Dimensions:  11.04x9.15x8.08mm           $66,695 (Photographed for possible publication in an upcoming book on gemstones!)
