Before deciding whether to purchase a sapphire jewelry piece, there are many questions to answer. Whether using a sapphire as the centerpiece of your jewelry or adding sapphires to add a little color and accentuate your diamonds, sapphire gemstones are gorgeous and versatile. In 2016, prices for the same unheated sapphire from Madagascar are being offered well over $1000 USD per carat, even at wholesale.The history of sapphire gemstones being used in jewelry is long and storied. Generally, fine unheated sapphire of any size cannot be found for under $1000 per carat, especially nowadays, when unheated sapphire of any weight is considered a rarity. It was priced at $5575, which again was an absolute bargain. A second unheated piece was a 6.33-carat rich blue sapphire with a hint of green and a clarity grade of IF. We had it priced at $965, which was unusually low, and this resulted in a quick sale. It was a beautifully-cut round faceted stone, a shape that typically commands a high price. One piece was a stunning violet blue color, 2.62 carats in weight and of VVS clarity. Several years ago, we acquired some outstanding gems from the Diego-Suarez Mine in Northern Madagascar. It difficult to state typical market prices for very fine unheated sapphires, especially since they are so rare.
