Sapphire Ring. Size 7. 1.6cwt (2) Sapphires in Solid Yellow Gold Setting with 40 melee Sapphires . September Birth.

This ring features two earth mined yellowish orange sapphires each of approx. .8 cwt, and each approx. 7x5mm . Eye clean. .The setting was custom made in solid yellow gold, and the melee stones are clear sapphires: 28 at 1.25 mm and 12 at 1.5mm.... approx. 1/2 cwt in total. The setting is approx 14k solid yellow gold, but setting was made off shore and is not hallmarked. I do not sell man made stones. All my gems are earth mined. Expect imperfections. Any questions, please ask.

NOTE: Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment. Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.

Sapphires and rubies are the same, other than the color.

Sapphires WHOLESALE to the trade today for approx. $50 for a 1 cwt stone of VERY low grade quality to approx. $3,000 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. Larger sizes increase cost dramatically. The price goes up to well over $20,000 or more per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. ($40,000 for unheated) The retail price will be several times that, depending on the retailers markup.

Sapphire is the birth stone for those born in September. Corundum, with traces of iron, titanium, chromium, vanadium or magnesium responsible for the color. Sapphires are 9 on the mohs scale, right behind diamond ( moh's10)
Sapphire is said to bring peace and prosperity to those that own it.
Sapphires are not as expensive as the other corundum, Ruby. The most expensive sapphire to my knowledge sold for approx. $17,00,000.00 at auction.
