{"title":"Orange Sapphire Gemstones - Loose Stones","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrange sapphire is one of the boldest and rarest colours in the sapphire family - a vivid expression of natural corundum coloured by trace chromium and iron, ranging from warm coral and fiery tangerine through deep sunset orange. It carries the full Mohs 9 durability that makes sapphire ideal for engagement rings and statement jewellery, and offers a presence that almost no other gemstone matches. For a comparison of all sapphire colours, see our \u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/blogs\/information-pages-complete-guide\/sapphire-colors-explained\"\u003esapphire colours guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Our Ceylon Orange Sapphires\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur orange sapphires are sourced from Sri Lanka through our direct buying offices in Colombo, Beruwala, and Ratnapura. We carry both unheated and heat-treated pieces - treatment status is disclosed on every product page. Premium stones ship with \u003cstrong\u003eGIA reports\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Orange and yellow is the colour family where that diffusion actually turns up in the market, so we test for it: our orange and yellow stones are checked for beryllium by LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) at the Gemmological Institute Colombo before we buy them. LIBS tests for beryllium specifically, and GIA's own journal published it as a method for exactly this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/collections\/oval-sapphire-engagement-ready-loose-stones\"\u003eOval\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/collections\/cushion-sapphires-vintage-style-loose-stones\"\u003ecushion\u003c\/a\u003e cuts concentrate and deepen orange saturation beautifully. \u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/collections\/emerald-cut-sapphires-usa\"\u003eEmerald cuts\u003c\/a\u003e reveal the colour in an open, architectural window display.
