Sapphire

Color gives people the most sensitive formal elements and can arouse our aesthetic pleasure. The emotion conveyed by color is also the most direct and impactful.

Speaking of color, I can't help thinking of Monet, an outstanding representative painter of French Impressionism in the history of modern painting. He walked into the light and saw Haystack, Sunrise, Water Lily, life and death, which left the most beautiful impression on the world. Various colors, light and shadow interweave and blend in his relaxed style, conveying the most delicate feelings.

Monet: "Is it really that important what color I paint with?" I don't think a single color can draw a good picture, or a brighter tone. Even if the shadow is never pure black, it is dark by mixing blue, green and red ... "

If taste can be a memory, then the colors endowed by nature can definitely be called a beautiful visual feast. Sapphire, on the other hand, is not a single blue color, which is described in systematic gemmology: ruby and sapphire belong to corundum family, and all corundum gems except ruby are collectively called sapphire. Including blue, turquoise, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, gray, colorless and other colors.

Colorful sapphires create romantic fairy tales, leading people into psychedelic dreams and feeling the purest color charm. Its origin is divided into Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Africa and other places. And these countries can also be said to be a paradise for gems. After several years of changes, precious stones have gradually become scarce.

Pink orange sapphire

Moral: "Lotus" means holiness and life.

Among the colorful sapphires, the most famous and valuable one is the pink orange sapphire from Sri Lanka, Papara Padparadscha Corundum. It is also the only gem in the corundum family with its own name, which shows its important position.

Many people think the name Papara Cha is strange. In fact, it is transliterated from English Padparadscha Corundum, and it is also called "Padma" sapphire. In addition, she also has a beautiful name: Lotus Sapphire, which comes from the Sinhalese word "Padmaraga", where Padma = lotus, Raga = color. This wonderful color of red lotus represents the sanctity of religion and the beauty of life. Pagbalha is called "Lotus Sapphire" because of its mysterious and holy color. The national flower of Sri Lanka is the lotus, so pagbalha is naturally regarded as a national treasure by Sri Lankans.

The main stone of the engagement ring chosen by Princess Eugénie of England is Papara Cha.

Papara Padparadscha Corundum is not only very rare, but also very popular among Sri Lankans, who are unwilling to export it, which makes the number of such rare gems entering the international market even smaller. Papara Cha is usually small, and the most common one is 1-2 carats. The price of high-quality Padparadscha Corundum can be compared with the top sapphire.

The main reason why Papara is so beautiful and precious is that she has a color that is particularly rare in the gem world: it is a color with pink and orange tones at the same time, and the two colors interact to form an indescribable beautiful gem color. Moreover, these two colors must meet a very strict and delicate proportion (the proportion of two colors in gems is strictly controlled at 30%-70%), and there can be no other variegated colors. If any of the above conditions cannot be met, they can only be called pink sapphires and orange sapphires, but not real Papara diamonds.

The certificate of GRS (Swiss Gemstone Research Laboratory) will not only clearly indicate "Padparadscha Corundum", but also in 20 17, GRS further divides the color of Papara Chacha sapphire into "sunrise" and "?" Sunset ",sunrise day excellence means: the sapphire in pagbalha is pink and orange; The color of sunset glow is mainly orange and pink sapphires from Papara.

Yellow sapphire

Morality: a symbol of status and rights

Yellow is a precious color in sapphire, from light daisy yellow to canary deep yellow, no matter which kind of yellow, it will firmly attract every woman who loves beauty.

violet sapphire

Moral: mysterious and noble

Purple sapphire, named Violet/purple sapphires in English, is also called purple corundum, because it contains two metal elements, vanadium and chromium, which leads to sapphire variation and purple. From light purple, lavender to royal purple, purple sapphire has a great color span, but if the color is dark brown, it cannot be counted as purple sapphire.

In the sapphire family, purple sapphire is very rare, and its survival is very low. Purple sapphire is mainly produced in Sri Lanka, and a small amount is produced in Thailand and Myanmar. Due to the scarcity of resources, large purple sapphires are rare. In the jewelry market at home and abroad, purple sapphires exceeding 1 carat are very precious. And the new york Museum of Natural History has a 34-carat violet sapphire, which is really valuable.

Purple sapphire, with a small output, is a representative of rare pigments since ancient times. There is a kind of pigment called purplish red. Its main ingredient comes from the secretion of a carnivorous conch. It is not easy to extract it. People often go to the sea to find this kind of conch, and the cost is very high. Therefore, purple has become a symbol of noble status. This purple is also called "Royal Purple".

For centuries, purple has symbolized the identity and status of the royal family. Queen Elizabeth also banned it: non-royals are not allowed to wear purple clothes, and she was the first person to ban it! In China, purple is the symbol of the emperor and represents the power of the emperor, hence the name "Forbidden City" and "Purple comes from the East".

Orange sapphire

Moral: romance and beauty

As we all know, orange sapphire and blue sapphire have great differences in visual perception, which also makes their meanings completely different. As far as reserves are concerned, orange sapphires are rarer than many colors, so ordinary people don't know much about orange sapphires. Only experienced people in the gem industry know that orange sapphire is a rare treasure in the world and needs more attention and care.

Its beauty is comparable to ChapadParadcha in Papara, but its output is higher than ChapadParadcha in Papara, so its price is not as expensive as the former, but it is much higher than green and purple sapphires.
