Just about time for a couple of your questions:

Customer Questions and Answers:

Question

Some of your Sapphires are labeled as BE Heated, what does this mean?

Answer

BE heated stands for Beryllium heated and what differs this from traditional heat treatment is that you introduce another element (Beryllium) during the heating process. This color-inducing element penetrates deep into the sapphire, inducing the colors. This treatment is stable and permanent, and is often used to induce orange, yellow and golden hues.

Question

Do you sell any CZ stones?

Answer

Cubic Zirconia is a synthetic stone and we do not sell any synthetic stones whatsoever. We would instead recommend Natural Zircon as this is a very affordable gemstone that works great as a Diamond substitute. We have a large selection available here.
