Color: The most valuable orange sapphires display vivid, pure saturation with minimal brown or yellow undertones. We prioritize intense, consistent orange hues that command attention.

Cut: An expert cut maximizes the sapphire’s natural brilliance and fire. We ensure optimal symmetry and proportions to bring out the inherent beauty and sparkle of every orange sapphire.
Carat: As with all precious gems, larger natural orange sapphires are exceedingly rare. Their value increases significantly with size, especially when paired with exceptional color and clarity, making them a prime choice for investment.
