If one likes
sapphires but cannot forgo the beauty of
diamonds in their
ring, they would go for a
sapphire diamond gold ring which features the
color of sapphires, as well as the
brilliance of diamonds.
Three of the
color grades of
sapphires which you can commonly see in a jewelry shop are natural A, natural AA, and natural AAA. A quick note on these three grades is given below.
Natural A
Natural A is in the top 50 to 75%
sapphires available in the world. These
stones have a dark blue
color and are opaque. Natural AA
sapphires are often used in fine jewelry by small jewelry shops and mall jewelers.
Natural AA
Natural AA forms 20 to 30% of the available
sapphires. These
sapphires have a medium blue
color and are moderately or slightly included. Leading independent or family jewelers use these
stones for making fine jewelry.
Natural AAA
Rarer than the other two, the natural AAA
sapphires make up only 10% of the
sapphires that occur in nature. Natural AAA
sapphires have a medium blue
color and have slight inclusions.
