One of the most beautiful of all gemstones sapphires have been loved and adored for centuries now and what once was the most favored gemstone continues to rule the hearts of jewelry lovers across the world even today. If you happen to be someone who loves the lustrous and lovely sapphires and want a few of these immensely attractive gemstones then you must also know how to discern between real sapphires from fake ones. After all buying a sapphire without doubt involves a good amount of money and you must know how to tell if a sapphire is real as you would be investing your money on this timeless beauty.
Color which is the most vital point of consideration while selecting colored gemstones is true in case of sapphires as well and the ideal color of sapphire is a bright and medium hue that is uniformly spread across the stone and is neither too dark nor too light and also does not reflect any other color. All lab created sapphires invariably have an artificial brightness that is unlike the natural glow of genuine sapphires.
The jeweler from whom you buy your sapphire is important so always buy from a reputable source who you know will not cheat you. Also ask for details pertaining to the stone and always pick one that is natural and not lab created. Be on the lookout for cracks or bubbles on the sapphire because though sapphires come with inclusions they are hard and durable stones that are not prone to scratches and if the stone has bubbles you can be sure that it’s a poor replica and definitely not a natural sapphire.
It is always a good idea to take the sapphire to a certified gemologist who with the aid of special tools and expertise can determine whether the sapphire is natural or artificial. Also a certificate of authenticity always helps and is desirable as it details the exact quality as well as worth of the sapphire.
So now that you know how to discern whether your favorite sapphire is real why not go ahead and bring this knowledge to use and pick a spectacular stone that you will cherish forever.
