How to choose sapphire jewelry

Sapphire is just as valuable as ruby. When it comes to quality, the price can be quite high if the color, clarity, and cut are excellent. Even a small sapphire can cost tens of thousands of yuan. Unfortunately, there are many fake sapphires on the market, so it's important to be cautious. If you're buying a sapphire for a low price, it's likely not real. As a type of jewelry, sapphire is popular among collectors. Buying and selling jewelry has become very common, but it's essential to learn some basic identification skills to avoid being deceived. Understanding how to tell real from fake can save you money and ensure you get a genuine piece. The most common fake sapphire found in the market is glass. Identifying glass is actually not too difficult. Glass is formed at high temperatures and shrinks naturally when cooled, creating a slight indentation on the surface. This indentation is hard to spot with the naked eye but becomes visible under a magnifying glass. When using a 10x loupe, it’s best to look at an angle rather than straight on, which helps reveal the concave areas—common signs of glass. Additionally, glass often contains bubbles, which are not present in natural gemstones. These bubbles can be clearly seen with a magnifier. There are also synthetic sapphires that mimic the appearance of real ones. To identify them, start by examining the internal structure. Natural sapphires have a random, chaotic crystal pattern, while synthetic ones tend to have a more ordered and uniform structure. Many synthetic sapphires appear too clean and flawless, which is unusual for natural stones. Real sapphires usually have some imperfections or inclusions. Synthetic stones often lack depth, appearing overly bright and artificial, whereas natural sapphires emit a soft, inner glow. Their colors are more vibrant and pure, reflecting a natural beauty that's hard to replicate. (Li Feng)
