WHY ARE TEAL BLUE GREEN SAPPHIRES SO UNIQUE?

Interestingly, “Teal” was termed a color only at the beginning of the 20th century. Before that, it referred to the common teal, which is basically a Eurasian duck. These Eurasian teal ducks have a characteristic bluish-green stripe around their eye, which segregates them from other species. Once loose teal sapphires the discovered with their typical dark cyan hue, the term “Teal Sapphires” stuck naturally.

Beautiful blue sapphires have been mined all over the world. Traditionally they have been mined in Sri Lanka, Mozambique, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Kashmir. However, for teal blue sapphires, the location and specifics of the mines are completely different. Our unique blue-green bicolored sapphires come from exclusive mines in Australia where each stone has a different blue-green ratio. Most stones are 80/20, 70/30, or even a 60/40 ratio of different shades of blue and green. For the perfect teal-colored stone, we seek a 50/50 ratio of royal blue and dark green, making a dark cyan– the rarest of all the color combinations. Every step in our process chain is focused on enhancing this unique peacock or oceanic hue of the teal sapphires.

Another unique feature of the loose peacock sapphires from Navneet Gems and Minerals is that they are all exclusively ethically mined in Australia. These Australian teal sapphire mines are closely regulated to make all our stones ethically sourced and verifiable.

THE PROCESS CHAIN

Because of the uniqueness of the teal blue-green sapphires, it has a unique handling process that is designed around highlighting the rare dreamy ocean green color that is characteristic of this stone. At Navneet Gems, we ensure a strict quality process that ensures the purity and high quality of our stones – however, we must have all types of qualities to fit all needs.

1. Ethical Sourcing: One of our principle policies is the ethical processing of precious stones from the very beginning of the process. The rough-cut teal sapphires are sourced from family-run traditional mines in various locations in Australia and Africa which ensure implementation of fair mining policies. Conflict-free sapphires are devoid of child labor, bonded labor, slavery, or local conflict and contribute greatly to the economy of that area. Our very personal involvement in the buying of these rare teal sapphires ensures that their origins are verified, identified, and traceable. For sourcing to be ethical it is important to have a control on the correct origin of sapphires; we do supply Montana teal sapphire, Ceylon Teal sapphire (Also known as Srilankan teal sapphire and Australian teal sapphires is our specialization where most of our teal sapphires come from)
2. Treatment: Once we receive the rough cut of the peacock sapphires, the complete treatment procedure is carried on at our factory. While some stones are naturally very beautiful and human hands cannot do much to better them, most stones need some form of heat treatment. The former is termed unheated stones whereas the latter is termed heat-treated stones.

Heat treatment is again of two categories. The first, traditional method includes heating the rough cut bicolor blue-green sapphire to high temperatures of 400- 500 ˚ C  and regulating the temperature to achieve a desirable hue. The second method includes the introduction of glass, a foreign substance into the stone matrix, essentially turning the aluminous base into a siliceous one. At our factory, we consider the second method an utter blasphemy and only carry out the traditional treatment of 100% pure natural teal sapphire. For the post generation, it is very important to know which treatment is done to your loose teal sapphire before it goes into your teal sapphire engagement ring.

3. Cutting: Our factory in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand is a state-of-the-art facility where expert craftsmen undertake the intricate process of cutting each stone. To allow sapphires to reflect maximum light and brilliance, the stones are delicately cut below their critical angle after careful measurement of their reflectance angle. We try to preserve as much as they meet points as possible to not distract from the sapphire’s natural beauty.

   

   

Throughout the process, the sea-green sapphires are treated by highly trained professionals who work in a hygienic, safety-regulated, and ethical environment. Every craftsman is hand-picked for their very specific set of skills, giving us a wide variety of talent to work with. Fairtrade and wages with regular quality control checks ensure that every employee is content, promoting a better standard of work.

CHOOSING THE PERFECT TEAL / BLUE-GREEN / PARTY SAPPHIRE:

While buying from an experienced and trusted source, like Navneet Gems and Minerals, is one of the best ways to get your sapphire valued, there can be a few ways that Anyone can make sure that they are getting the real deal.

1. Color: The most significant factor about the teal sapphires is their unique sea green color. Since most of these stones exhibit a color-changing property or metamerism, i.e., the ability to look like a different color in different lights, you have to examine the stone in different lighting conditions. The best light to check it out in is outdoor evening light or ambient natural light, along with additional checks in fluorescent or daylight. What you have to be looking for is a deep-sea green or bluish-green color. In some very rare cases, when the light changes, the teal sapphire changes to a completely blue or green color, or even purple on the rarest occasions, making them very valuable. However for it to qualify as a peacock sapphire, the primary lighting color has to be teal.

2. Clarity: Most stones have some inclusions of some kind like crystal, fiber, bubble, or feather that have been naturally embedded into them through the process of formation. While these are mostly considered imperfections that can lower the value of the stone, your purchase is a subjective matter since some consider the inclusions beautiful. In general, if these inclusions are “macro”, as in readily visible to the naked eye, you might want to reconsider. In case these are “micro” and are visible only under a jeweler’s loupe, you’ve got yourself a great teal sapphire!

3. Cut: The cut is a tricky one. The rule of thumb is Sure for Symmetry. Not matter what the shape of your peacock sapphire is, be it oval, round or square, it should be symmetrical and polished. The most common is the oval cut, while we also house some pears and rounds at Navneet Gems. Steer clear of large clear spaces in the middle of the stone called “windows” where light doesn’t bounce off and there is low activity. An expert will also look out for the meet angle and the cut below the critical angle of the stone, all determinants of beauty, and hence the value of the stone.

4. Carat: This is completely buyer-dependent. We at Navneet Gems deliver teal-colored sapphires ranging from 1- 5 carats in both heated and unheated types. While our most popular bicolor blue-green sapphires are oval 5/3 – 6/4 cut, we also have pear and round-shaped sapphires.

What is the difference between a teal sapphire & a parti sapphire?

The reason that people are always so confused between the colors of teal sapphires, peacock sapphires, parti sapphires, etc is that it comes in so many different varieties that it gets very difficult and there is no standard of these teal sapphires. What is teal sapphire? What is a parti sapphire? The most simple difference between these two is that the teal sapphire has no yellow, usually. Whereas Parti sapphires usually don’t have much blue. Take for example the below stones: you can see clearly the first one is teal blue green sapphire and the right one is a bi-color yellow-green (termed parti sapphire):

THE MILLENNIAL ENGAGEMENT RING – SAPPHIRE FOR SURE

The 21^st century has seen a major change in engagement ring statistics. Diamonds are no longer the go-to stone for most youngsters. Interestingly sapphires have become the front runners as the stone of choice for engagement rings. While it’s a 50-50 bid between blue sapphires and teal sapphires, the latter,i.e., teal or party sapphires are becoming increasingly popular because of their unique one-of-a-kind color.

So why are loose teal sapphires killing it in the engagement sapphire market?

1. Obvious beauty: The beautiful blend of blue and green, which is unique to each stone is a hard score to match. Gorgeous in themselves, they can be set in a simple band to showcase their pure, unadulterated beauty or set with other stones to be a total knockout!
2. Affordability and Durability: For a comparable size and quality, teal sapphires can cost up to 50-60% less than a royal blue or cornflower blue sapphire. Sapphires are also some of the hardest stones known to man, which makes them extremely durable and wear-resistant. It isn’t a surprise therefore that these blue-green sapphires tick all the boxes for millennials. Great Quality and Longevity and AMAZING prices!
3. Ethically Sourced: With concerns about ethically sourced stones and stones mined in conflict areas, the big question that many ask nowadays before they embark on their journey of a lifetime is – are the beautiful stones which are supposed to signify the purity of love and harmony, the result of slave or child labor, unfair wages and inhumane living conditions? With more and more people moving away from diamonds with an unverifiable source, teal sapphires which are primarily mined from family-owned artisanal mines in Africa and Australia, bring immense economic benefits to smaller communities where they have been mined.
4. Briny Beauty: The first impression of the green and blue bi-color sapphire is that of the breathtaking ocean. Imagine carrying a piece of the ocean with you, a symbol of infinity, power, and tremendous potential – everything that a long, happily married life should be.
