What color of blue is the best in Sapphire ?
Darker is better…., to a point. A sapphire can become too dark or over saturated in color. I advise staying away from the ” inky blues “, but there is a range of beautiful blues and like selecting a mate, the choice is very individual. I tend to like a slightly lighter blue while my partner wants a blue to be as dark as it can but not inky. We are both right let’s see what you like. For years, uninformed salespeople have been telling the public that dark is good because that is what is most available to sell. Let your heart decide – Which is prettier : a sapphire that is a bright blue or one reminiscent of ink ? I want a blue sapphire to be blue and not mistaken for black onyx.
