Oval sapphires can be found in a wide variety of bright and vivid colors. All colors of sapphire, except for blue and red, are referred to as fancy sapphire. Oval shape sapphires are excellent for those who enjoy classic yet elegant designs. Prized for their superior hardness and excellent durability, sapphire hardness ranks a 9 on Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which makes them one of the hardest natural materials on earth, second only to diamond.
Sapphire is a variety of corundum, the same material which makes up that of fine red ruby. Both sapphire and ruby are part of the elite group of 'precious four' gems, along with emerald and diamond. Sapphire exhibits excellent brilliance and an attractive vitreous luster when cut and polished, which is why sapphires are thought to be one of the most valuable and wearable of all colored gemstones. The term 'corundum' originates from the ancient Sanskrit word 'kuruvindam'; while 'sapphire' comes from Persian 'safir'. Oval sapphires are very popular for use in jewelry, but unlike other sapphire shapes, such as trillions or princess-cuts or trillions, ovals are ideal for wearing as the main 'center' stone rather than as small accents or melee stones. Sapphires are seen as the guardians of love and when given as gifts, sapphires are thought to enhance love and spirits to one another. Throughout history, sapphire has symbolized truth, sincerity and loyalty, while bringing about peace, joy and wisdom to whom shall wear fine sapphire.

Gem Selects is a great place to buy loose gems and seems to have a wide selection of sizes, shapes, and color as well as reasonable prices. Though I only dabble in making earrings this is my purchase from here and I love the pieces I have bought - 6 pairs of various gems. I am sure I'll be back.

I was in the market for a replacement gemstone for a solitaire ring that I recently purchased. I was delighted to locate GemSelect as an option for the replacement gem. They have an impressive selection of gemstones! I ordered a citrine trillion cut gemstone. The pictures of the gemstones appear accurate in terms of color and size . The prices are appropriate for the quality of stones I've received. I will continue to shop with GemSelect and will recommend them to anyone in the market for gemstones.
