Ok. You’ve heard it from every one – sapphire occurs in all the hues of the rainbow. But ask anyone who loves sapphires, blue it the most intriguing color of all sapphire colors. A lovely royal blue with a lustrous velvety texture and overtones of black accentuating the beautiful blue, the gemstone sure is a heart winner.

The most beautiful blue sapphires – Kashmir sapphires were considered the epitome of the magnificent beauty that sapphires are known for. Apart from the gorgeous color and texture, the most interesting characteristic of the Kashmir sapphire was its consistency in color. It would shine a brilliant blue in different lights. Since the source of Kashmir sapphires has waned, the proud owners of Kashmir sapphire are 2nd or 3rd generation holders. The current popular sources of the best blue sapphires are Mogok in Burma and Ceylon in Sri Lanka.

The promising gem looks great in all kinds of jewelry and metals. While yellow gold adds warmth to the gemstone white gold / platinum add grace to the gem providing a fine contrast to the blue color. And when combined with diamonds, looks as beautiful as twinkling stars in the midnight sky!
