What are oval white sapphire gemstones?

Oval white sapphires are natural corundum gems, colorless or with light grayish tones, cut into an oval shape for maximum brilliance. They’re a durable, affordable alternative to diamonds.

Are GemSelect’s oval white sapphires natural?

Yes, they are natural, primarily sourced from Sri Lanka and Madagascar. Most are heat-treated to enhance clarity and color, a standard, permanent process. Untreated stones are rare and costlier.

How durable are oval white sapphires for jewelry?

With a Mohs hardness of 9, white sapphires are highly durable, resisting scratches and ideal for daily wear in rings, pendants, or earrings.

What’s the price range for oval white sapphires?

Prices typically range from $5 for small accent stones to $3,000 per carat for larger, high-quality gems. Untreated or exceptional clarity stones may exceed this range.

What shapes and colors are available?

Besides oval, shapes include round, cushion, pear, and emerald. Colors range from colorless (most valued) to faint gray or bluish tints, offering versatile design options.

Are oval white sapphires suitable for engagement rings?

Yes, their diamond-like sparkle, durability, and lower cost make them a popular choice for engagement rings, especially in white gold or platinum settings.

What treatments do oval white sapphires undergo?

Heat treatment is common to improve clarity and remove faint tints, considered permanent. Diffusion or fracture-filling is rare but less desirable, as it affects durability. Treatment is always disclosed.

Where do oval white sapphires come from?

Major sources include Sri Lanka (Ceylon) for colorless gems and Madagascar for slightly grayish tones. Smaller deposits are found in Myanmar and Tanzania.

Do GemSelect’s oval white sapphires come with certification?

Many come with certificates detailing origin, treatment, and quality (e.g., VVS or VS clarity). This ensures authenticity and transparency for buyers.

How do I care for oval white sapphire jewelry?

Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners for treated stones. Store separately to prevent scratches from harder gems.

I found the filter options excellent. Yours was the third site I visited (asked chat got for reputable online sellers of loose gems) and the first I purchased from as I was able to easily find what I was looking for.
