My most trusted sources were Harshil Zaveri, from Harshil Jewelers, in India, and Marc Sarosi, at African Gems.

My experience has been the jewelry store people do not know squat about white sapphires. It is heat treated so it is super "clean" looking.įinally, early on, I bought a 6mm white sapphire (about a carat) that was supposed to be heat treated, from Ceylon, but it turned out to be a synthetic sapphire,for $100. Next, I bought a 6.5mm (over a carat) diamond like round, heat treated, white Ceylon Sapphire for about $570.00. Both of the above stones are naturally included, but eye clean and come with IGI lab certificates. I bought a 2 carat, round brilliant untreated/unheated white Ceylon sapphire, for about $900.00. I have a naturally mined, white Ceylon sapphire, not treated, not heated, in a mixed cut, round, 6mm, naturally included stone for $270. I have recently bought several white sapphires. How can I know for sure I'm not selling something worth a lot more? I took it my jeweler and I don't think he really knows the value. I'm advertising it really cheap and now I'm starting to wonder if it's worth a lot more. I know is at least 50 years old and is 1.8ct or 37grams.
