Orange Sapphire Gemstones

Orange Sapphire Gemstones has an average rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars based on 2 customer reviews.

Orange gemstones are a curious addition to the world of fine jewellery. Orange is one of those in-between colours that holds an interesting position, in that potential gemstone and jewellery buyers are uncertain of their actual quality, in relation to value. Which is due to a number of factors. First, the lack of pure orange stones, that ‘specialise’ in this particular hue, is one such factor. Unlike the top four precious stones in the world, which in their classical understanding correspond to the four main colours: white or colourless for diamonds, blue for sapphires, green for emeralds and red for rubies. Which in turn has contributed to their popularity in the fine jewellery world. These gemstones are a top choice for engagement rings. 

The Popularity of Orange in the World of Gemstones 

Thus orange as a specific hue does not have a namesake gemstone that corresponds to it, critically one that is equal in popularity to the main four. The one notable exception is amber: However, this does not mean that orange as a distinct colour does not have its place in the world of gemstones. In fact, orange as a hue, which is a secondary colour is rather abundant in the natural world. Unlike blue for example. Hence an array of gemstones have claimed to feature a better or richer orange hue. From the notable amber, which is known for holding fossilized skeletons of ancient organisms, to variants in the garnet and spinel family feature gemstones in the orange range. Whilst the specific tone of the gemstones in question will vary, as certain gemstone types are known for featuring a stronger or lighter hue. Interestingly, certain rare varieties of trace minerals like zinc that also fall into the broader category of gemstones. Notable here is sphalerite, which is a type of hardened zinc that is found in a rich variety of orange hues. The downside of course is that its hardness is quite low, somewhere around 3.5 – 4 on the Mohs scale.

Why Opt for Sapphires as the Choice of Orange Gemstones

As noted in the world of gemstones there is no shortage of gems in terms of types that feature this particular hue. However, when it comes to picking a quality gemstone the visual dimension is one of many factors to consider when making this decision. Sapphires, which are best known for their famous blue variant, are noted for a number of key gemstone-related qualities. From the high level of durability (scoring a 9.0 on the Mohs Scale for Hardness-which is second only to diamonds) to the natural rarity of the gemstone type in nature (sapphires are rarer than diamonds in the natural world), to their rich colours. The latter point is important since colour in a gemstone is not just about a gem featuring a specific hue, it is about the character of the colour: in terms of vividity, the spread of the hue, and how it works with other features of the stone. Like its ability to reflect light, and the ability to maintain its colour over the long term.
