Savorite is a member of the colorful garnet family. Because of its transparent color, its discovery turned an unknown town into an active gem trading center in an instant.
Only about 2.5% of the sapphires in the original jewelry transaction exceeded 2 carats, and even those exceeding 5 carats were rare. The sapphire diamond ring of Harry Winston's top jewelry butterfly series has a main stone of 8. 18 carats, and even the diamond has become a supporting role in the face of pure and natural green.
In Tiffany's high-end jewelry collection, the unique green color can be found in many fine works, especially in many antique works of jewelry designer Jean Schlumberger, who likes to embed Chaffray gems in the details.
Identification method:
1, look at the color:
Colored gems collectors who are not "lewd"? The most important factor in determining the price is color. Shafulite's green is easy to yellow, and blue is rare. Color density is also one of the important indicators. The light concentration can be called green calcium aluminum garnet at most. If the concentration is too deep, it will turn dark green and the value coefficient will decrease.
2, look at the size:
No matter what kind of gem, large carats are valuable, but why is the price of large sapphire so high? The mystery is that the crystal particles of this gem are generally very small, and the size is influenced by genes. However, 85% of sapphires on the market are below 1 carat. It has always been an eternal law in the jewelry industry that things are rare.
3. Look at the clarity:
Everyone has heard the phrase "Ten treasures and nine cracks". Colored gems's requirements for clarity are naturally not as strict as diamonds. Generally speaking, as long as the impurities and cracks are not visible from the inside and the impurities are not in the center of the gem, it is acceptable. However, on the whole, there are few impurities in Sha Fei stone.
4, see cutting:
The reason why Shafulite is so bright and dazzling is that its refractive index is very high and its interior is very pure, so it is generally round and bright, with 57 or 58 facets, which is why it is much brighter than emerald in appearance. Clothes make the man, horses depend on the saddle, and sapphire depends on good cutting to shine.
