SAPPHIRES BEAUTIFULLY ENCAPSULATED
Blue sapphires are among the most highly valued gemstones in the world – prized for their vibrant hue and associating the gemstone with royalty, wisdom and protection. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply curious about this beautiful gemstone, we reveal some of Dehres’ stunning blue sapphires in our latest blog.
KASHMIR SAPPHIRES
Sapphires that originate from the Kashmir region are typically the rarest, most beautiful, and desirable of all sapphires. Their treasured beauty is due to unique needle-like inclusions known as rutile needles, giving Kashmir sapphires their distinct, velvety and sumptuous glow. Their beauty, combined with their rarity and allure mean that Kashmir sapphires command the steepest prices among all sapphires.

SRI LANKAN SAPPHIRES
Sri Lankan, also known as Ceylon, sapphires are prized for their bright medium to deep-tone blue color. Sapphires with such features are referred to as ‘Cornflower’ or ‘Royal’ blue, respectively. They are, both, extremely desirable with Royal Blue sapphires commanding steeper prices. With mines in Kashmir being shut and Burma focusing its mining efforts on Rubies, Sri Lanka has become a primary source for sapphires, today.
