3.19 ct Orange Sapphire - Radiant

At 3.19 carats, this sapphire from Thailand carries its orange color through a radiant cut, measuring 12.1 x 5.8 x 4.4 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Thailand is both a corundum source and the great cutting and finishing hub of the colored gemstone trade. It carries a beryllium diffusion treatment, a modern heat-and-diffusion process, disclosed plainly here as on every listing.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
