How do I care for a sapphire ring?

Corundum ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for regular wear. Clean the setting gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and ultrasonic devices if the stones possess natural fractures or lack heat treatment confirmation.

Are these sapphires treated?

Many sapphires undergo traditional thermal enhancement to improve colour and clarity. Unheated stones carry specific certification noting the absence of heat treatment. Both treated and unheated examples appear across the Edwardian, Art Deco and mid-century periods represented in these listings.

What periods do these rings represent?

The inventory spans from Edwardian and Victorian precursors through the geometric lines of Art Deco to mid-century and retro designs. Each era brings distinct metal choices like yellow gold or platinum. Stylistic shifts reflect changing tastes in stone cuts, from old-cut diamonds to transitional and modern brilliant cuts.

What colours do Ceylon sapphires come in?

While traditional blue remains predominant, these sapphires appear in yellow, pink, purple and padparadscha variations. Cabochon cuts also reveal star sapphire optical phenomena. Each shade reflects the natural mineral content of stones sourced from Sri Lankan deposits.
