A little knowledge, a better choice

What makes
a piece yours?

You do not have to know every gemstone term to make a thoughtful choice. Start with these four questions.

Read David’s buying guide ↗

01

Choose your shade.

Compare hue, brightness and saturation in different lighting. Blue is only the beginning of the sapphire palette.

02

Look at the whole design.

Stone dimensions, cut and setting shape the look on your hand or at your neckline.

03

Ask about treatment.

Heat treatment is common. Ask what is known about identity, treatment and any available laboratory documentation.

04

Make room for daily life.

Check the setting, fit and condition. Even a hard gemstone needs protection from sharp blows.

How to make it yours

Good to know

A few good questions.

Which month is associated with sapphire?

Sapphire is the birthstone for September. You can also choose it simply because you love it. Read more on David’s ↗

What should I ask before choosing a piece?

Natural sapphire, laboratory-grown sapphire and imitations are different descriptions. Heat treatment is common in natural sapphire; other treatments may affect value or care. Ask what is documented for the particular piece. Read more on David’s ↗

How should I care for it?

For untreated or heat-treated sapphire, mild soapy water is generally suitable when the rest of the piece allows it. Filled or dyed stones need a soft damp cloth. When treatment is unknown, ask us before using steam or ultrasonic cleaning. Read more on David’s ↗

Can I use layaway?
