What is a bluff Sapphire

Bluff sapphires are generally considered lower quality sapphires due to their lack of clarity and transparency. These stones often contain a significant number of inclusions, which can impact their visual appeal and reduce their overall brilliance. Unlike high-quality sapphires, Bluff sapphires may exhibit a cloudy appearance, and their color can be uneven or less vibrant. Due to these characteristics, Bluff sapphires are typically less sought after for fine jewellery, though they may still appeal to those looking for more affordable natural sapphires with a rustic or unique character.
