Clean your Natural White Sapphire by soaking it in lukewarm water mixed with mild soap. Gently scrub the stone with a soft brush to remove dirt and oil without damaging its surface.

Keep the gemstone away from detergents, bleach, and strong chemical cleaners, as they can dull the stone and affect the jewellery setting over time.

Take off your White Sapphire jewellery when doing heavy work, exercising, or handling abrasive materials to prevent scratches or accidental impacts.

Place the gemstone in a soft, fabric-lined jewellery box or an individual pouch to protect it from scratches caused by harder stones like diamonds or rubies.

Gently clean the gemstone with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing it to remove oils, sweat, and dust, helping maintain its brilliance.

Periodically have your White Sapphire polished and inspected by a jeweller to ensure the stone remains secure in its setting and retains its shine.

White Sapphires from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) are considered the finest due to their superior transparency and natural brilliance. Stones from Madagascar and Burma also hold good value, while more common origins may be comparatively affordable depending on clarity and color quality.

Although White Sapphire is a colorless gemstone, high-quality stones display a bright, icy-white appearance with minimal tint. Gems showing yellowish, grayish, or brownish undertones are less desirable and therefore priced lower. The purest “diamond-like” white stones command premium rates.

White Sapphires with exceptional clarity—free from visible inclusions, cloudiness, or cracks—are more valuable and highly sought after. Inclusions can dull the natural sparkle of the stone, decreasing both quality and market price. Eye-clean or loupe-clean stones hold the highest value.

A well-executed cut dramatically increases the beauty and worth of a White Sapphire. Precision cuts that maximize light reflection, such as brilliant or mixed cuts, create more shine, boosting price. Poorly cut or shallow stones look dull even if they’re clear, reducing overall value.

Larger White Sapphires, especially those above 2–3 carats with high clarity, are rare and command significantly higher prices per carat. Smaller stones are more commonly available and budget-friendly, though quality still plays a major role in cost.

Many white sapphires undergo heat treatment to improve clarity and transparency. Untreated gemstones are rarer and therefore more expensive. If you're seeking astrological results, untreated stones are generally recommended and valued at a premium.

Many lab-created sapphires closely resemble natural White Sapphires in appearance but are sold at a fraction of the cost. Unscrupulous sellers may pass off synthetic stones as natural. Always insist on certification to avoid being misled.

Some low-quality sapphires are enhanced with glass filling or diffusion treatments to improve clarity and brightness. These stones appear attractive initially but lack durability and have little to no astrological value. Proper gem testing reveals such treatments.

A White Sapphire that appears completely flawless yet is surprisingly cheap is usually a red flag. Natural stones typically have slight inclusions or growth patterns under magnification. Overly perfect, low-priced stones are often synthetic or heavily treated.

Many sellers advertise stones as “white” even when they have visible yellow, gray, or brown undertones. These tinted stones are significantly cheaper in the market. Inspect the gem under different lighting to ensure it is truly colorless.

Only buy White Sapphires certified by reputed laboratories such as IGI, GIA, GRS, or GII. Certificates from unknown or unreliable labs may not properly disclose treatments or origin, putting you at risk of purchasing a lower-quality stone.

Heavy discounts or unbelievably low pricing usually indicate treated, synthetic, or low-grade stones. High-quality White Sapphire is valuable and rarely sold at steep markdowns. If the deal seems too good to be true, it usually is.
