BLUE SAPPHIRE
The most known one is royal blue sapphire, but it can also come in a pale light blue color. The most valuable ones come in dark blue, almost purple-blue or green-blue color. But those secondary colors (green and purple) should not come in at more than 15%. Purity and clarity are another important thing we should consider when buying a blue sapphire engagement ring.

Green sapphire is the least known sapphire. But it’s rarity doesn’t have a major impact on the price. When shopping for a green sapphire ring we should consider especially with light green stones, it’s clarity because imperfections show on these beauties more than on the other sapphires.
