Sapphire Ring
Should I Buy A Diffused Sapphire Ring?
I was looking for a sapphire ring and someone came up with a diffused sapphire ring. What exactly is a diffused sapphire, can I consider it to be as durable as a natural sapphire? The price difference between a natural sapphire and a diffused sapphire seems huge, why is this so? Is a diffused sapphire made in a factory rather than being mined from the ground?
A diffused sapphire is when a colorless or pale corundum is treated with elements (titanium, iron oxides, and aluminum oxides) to give it that coveted cornflower blue hue.
They are quite durable so long as they are never repolished or recut. The treatment to produce blue is only .25 to .50 millimeter into the stone’s surface. Therefore, recutting or repolishing would remove the enhanced color. However, the treatment does not make the surface any softer than a natural sapphire.
Diffused sapphires are still natural stones. They just come with the tag “Lab created”.
