In the first half of 2022, green sapphires began to gain popularity in the market! According to some gem bloggers, at first a few European gem merchants bought green sapphires at high prices in the Sri Lankan market, and other gem merchants began to stir, and it is natural that this niche gem began to appear frequently in the public eye.

Green sapphires are a member of the family of colored sapphires. Before this spring and summer, its status ranked after the yellow sapphire, and it could not be compared with the blue sapphire and Papalachia. Because green sapphires are difficult to achieve pure saturated green, more olive, yellow-green, blue-green.
However, with the upgrading of aesthetics, people have found that this yellow, green and blue gemstone is perfectly compatible with the popular ins, Nordic and Morandi colors in recent years, and the sense of high quality is bursting!
What is even more coincidental is that the dance "Only This Green" with the peak aesthetic painting of the Chinese Song Dynasty "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" as the tonal modulation has become the largest cultural IP in 2022, and the green sapphire from color to warmth is almost the same as "Only This Green". With the revival of Chinese culture and its going global, this has made green sapphires unconsciously circle a wave of powder around the world, after all, aesthetics have no borders.
People even think of the feather color of birds, the color of mermaid scales, the color of blue lakes and seas, and even the beautiful demon "green snake" in ancient Chinese anecdotes, which is blessed by these cultural IP, which makes green sapphires not only beautiful, but also has a classical temperament.

As early as before the aesthetic trend of green sapphire in China, many newlyweds in Europe and the United States have begun to choose to use this gemstone as a wedding ring.
This may have something to do with the United States as a pioneer in European and American culture. The U.S. state of Montana is rich in green sapphires, which indirectly promotes the popularity of this gemstone.
In addition, Sri Lanka and Tanzania also have green sapphire production, and there are not many green sapphire production, which may also be the reason why it has not been optimistic about the oriental gem market for a long time.
Of course, a gemstone that can make a wedding ring must also have its hardcore qualities.
A unique combination of colors, in each gemstone can find a "little luck" that matches your own good mood.
Secondly, as a sapphire, its hardness is comparable to emerald, second only to diamonds, and it is suitable for long-term wear and preservation.

Long ago, the rich green sapphire, known as the Oriental Emerald, was rare and expensive.
But truly green sapphires with high saturation are rare. Sapphire itself is a colorless corundum, and the participation of iron ions shows a yellow-blue-green color, forming different geological conditions, different ages, and different distribution of color bands.
The texture of this yellow-green-blue multi-color mixture of light spots, like a mirror, reflects the wonderful mood of the surrounding growth environment under the participation of light, which is similar to the "garden" of emeralds.
In addition, emeralds have lower hardness than sapphires, and there are many impurities and crevices, and most need to be filled with oil. In contrast, green sapphires appear much more natural and pure.
Speaking of green diamonds, natural green diamonds that can be formed in millions of years, rare, and the price is even more out of reach. When the concentration of green shades varies, a well-cut green sapphire can compete with it regardless of color, perception and hardness.
In the past, we always thought that gemstones should be the most valuable for their rich colors and purity, but now it seems that the aesthetic method of gemstones may have to be changed. After all, the unique and natural color is in line with this era of advocating individuality, nature, environmental protection and aesthetics.

The price of green sapphire in the sapphire family is not high, and the price of green sapphires of the same carat is less than 1/5 of that of blue sapphires, and the potential of this niche gemstone in the future market should not be underestimated.
Green sapphires larger than 2 carats are rare on the market, and most green sapphires do not have high color saturation, which places great demands on the fineness of the cutting.
In the case that the price of the gem itself is not high, the cutting master is willing to cut a few more knives on the raw ore, and the well-cut green sapphire is very common, and the degree of brilliance naturally soars.
The choice of green sapphires is very personal, you can choose your favorite color according to your preferences, and it is difficult to find two identical ones. The second is that the better the cut, the more beautiful, after the above two conditions are met, you can consider the number of carats.
The reason why many people love green sapphire may be because it combines the tranquil beauty given to nature with a specific image, so that we can find a specific sustenance in the vision of this beauty, and can be worn. Jack also wishes you the green sapphire that you find most in your heart.
