Sapphires do not have standard size-to-weight ratios like diamonds. This is because diamonds are cut into standard proportions. Sapphires cut in a way that we get the best colour possible. A light colour sapphire can get a better colour if cut a little bit deeper and a darker one can be made lighter by cutting shallower etc. Also, diamond is just carbon, a single element. But sapphire is a mineral so that different chemical compositions give them different colours and slightly different weights.


Once a customer has placed an order, we show him/her the gemstone photos and we work with the customers to pick the right stone until the customer is fully satisfied. Some customers go after a specific colour and some customers need the stone to have the maximum weight etc.
