Royal Blue Sapphire

Royal Blue Sapphire Gemstone

Royal blue is a range of intense, deep blue colors, but without going black. The range of this color varies from laboratory to laboratory, so for example the GIT (Gemological Institute of Thailand) has a set of samples of Royal Blue sapphires that also includes darker blue hues. Sapphires of this color category are usually used in their collections by Graff-level jewelry houses.

During the 20th century, royal blue sapphires became increasingly popular as engagement rings. The royal blue sapphires are also considered as a symbol of love, loyalty, and commitment.

Differences of Royal Blue and Cornflower Sapphires

Cornflower blue sapphires are a pale, powdery blue color, while royal blue sapphires are a deeper, darker shade of blue. The color of a sapphire is determined by the presence of trace elements in the mineral, with the most common being iron and titanium. The intensity of the color can also be affected by the size and shape of the sapphire and the way it is cut.

In general, cornflower blue sapphires are less valuable than royal blue sapphires because they are less rare.

Price per carat
