Padparadscha Sapphires

Padparadscha Sapphires

“Not only exquisite to look at, but it is also one of the rarest gems in the world.”

Sapphires are a great alternative to diamonds when it comes to jewelry, especially engagement rings. They offer a unique opportunity for new colors, and a wide range of interesting combinations between gems and metal bands. While diamonds are consistently the more popular stone of choice when it comes to engagement rings, it is a lesser-known fact that sapphires are significantly more rare than the diamond.

Rarity commands a good price.

Their prices vary depending on what kind of color you decide on. For example, the white sapphire tends to be lower due to the kind of demand they get, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are less commonly found. Even royal families value the deep blue sapphire in all their pieces because it is one of the most rare in the world. Amongst the sapphires there is one in particular that is not only exquisite to look at, but it is also one of the rarest gems in the world. It is the padparadscha sapphire.
