The Takat Legacy of Expertise
By selecting Blue Sapphire from Takat Gems SR, an individual is purchasing more than an earth gem; he or she is investing in four decades of highly experienced craftsmanship. Haji Nisar Ahmed Takat, our visionary founder, began our initial cutting and polishing facility based on color and precision. At present, we carry out this mission by comprehensively searching for high-quality crystals from well-known places in the world such as Sri Lanka, Madagascar, or Myanmar.
Each gem item picked by our profession experts undergoes rigorous examination to test its performance against our standards of light reflection and clarity.
The Price Point for the Blue Sapphire Stone
The world of precious gemstones can be a tricky place, but we are dedicated to making everything as clear and upfront as possible. Blue Sapphire stone values are primarily a measure of the beauty and uniqueness of each individual stone. For example, a blue stone that has a rich 'Royal Blue' or 'Cornflower Blue' coloring will be worth more money than a lighter blue stone with a more 'inky' coloring.
Other than its color, Blue sapphire price per carat is impacted by:
- Starting Material: Stones quarried from notable mines like Kashmir or Ceylon are much admired for their distinctiveness.
- Clarity: We pick "eye-clean" diamonds, meaning that there are few natural inclusions inside the stone that would obscurate light or impair beauty.
- Size: As bigger, better-quality sapphires are hard to locate, their price per carat also tends to increase as its size weighs more.
- Treatment: Although many sapphires are heat-treated to enhance their color, natural, unheated stones are a much rarer investment option.

Frequently Asked Questions
1 .What is the difference between 'Royal Blue' and 'Cornflower Blue'?
These are the two most prestigious color terms in the sapphire world:
- Royal Blue- This refers to a deep, vivid blue with high saturation. It is a bold, luxurious color that has been the choice of royalty for centuries.
- Cornflower Blue- This is a slightly lighter, softer blue that often has a "velvety" appearance. It is highly prized for its serene and elegant glow.
2. How is the blue sapphire price per carat determined?
Pricing is a careful balance of several "quality pillars":
- Color- The closer a stone is to a pure, vivid blue without being too "inky" or dark, the higher its value.
- Origin- Stones from legendary locations like Kashmir, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and Burma (Myanmar) often command a premium due to their historical prestige and unique color characteristics.
- Clarity- We prioritize "eye-clean" stones, which have very few internal marks visible to the naked eye.
- Size- Large, high-quality sapphires are much rarer than small ones, so the price per carat increases significantly as the stone gets bigger.
3. What does "unheated" mean, and why does it matter?
Most sapphires found today are heat-treated to enhance their color and clarity. While this is a widely accepted industry standard, unheated sapphires are stones that came out of the earth with perfect color and clarity naturally. Because they are so rare (less than 1% of the market), they are considered a much more valuable investment.
4. How can I trust the authenticity of my sapphire?
Trust is at the heart of the Takat family legacy. Every stone we sell is labeled correctly and, in most cases, accompanied by a report from a recognized gemological laboratory. We are committed to total transparency so you know exactly what you are purchasing.
5. Can I use a blue sapphire for an engagement ring?
Absolutely. Sapphires are an excellent choice for daily wear. They rank a 9 on the Mohs scale, meaning they are second only to diamonds in hardness. They won't scratch easily and will maintain their brilliance for a lifetime, making them perfect for heirlooms.
6. Does Takat Gems SR offer custom sourcing?
Yes. If you have a specific vision or a particular budget in mind, our experts can provide customized sourcing assistance. We use our global network from New York to Bangkok to find the specific stone that matches your requirements.
