6ct Sapphire Ring
Sullivan Maurer
For our in-stock pieces, we can accommodate resizing up to 2-2.5 full sizes either up or down, depending on the ring. If you require a different size beyond this range, we recommend considering a custom order. You can also contact us with any sizing questions you may have before purchasing.
For the initial 6 months following your purchase, we are pleased to offer a complimentary resizing service for your ring to ensure a perfect fit. Please note that any resizing requests made beyond this 6-month period will be subject to a fee.
Processing for all items takes 1-2 business days before they are shipped. We ship Mondays through Thursdays via UPS Overnight Air to prevent shipments from lingering in courier warehouses over the weekend. Please be sure to check these processing times before placing your order, especially if you have a deadline. Keep in mind that delays can occur with mail couriers, so it's advisable to be prepared for any potential hiccups.
Hardness: When it comes to using gemstones in jewelry, few can match the durability and toughness of sapphire. With a rating of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire is just one step below diamond, the hardest mineral known to man. Its exceptional hardness ensures that it can withstand everyday wear and tear without getting scratched or damaged. That's why sapphire is a popular choice for engagement rings and other types of jewelry that are worn daily.
Sapphires are renowned for their stunning array of colors. Blue sapphires, ranging from light to deep royal blue, are the most famous and sought-after. Pink sapphires enchant with delicate pastels to vibrant magentas, while yellow sapphires exude warm and cheerful golden shades. Green sapphires captivate with hues from light to deep green, and orange sapphires dazzle in vibrant tangerine to peachy tones. Purple sapphires span from soothing lavender to deep purples, and color-changing sapphires exhibit different colors under varying lighting conditions. Star sapphires display a mesmerizing star-like pattern, while Padparadscha sapphires offer a rare blend of pink and orange. Lastly, parti-colored sapphires showcase a mix of multiple colors within one gemstone.
Treatments:
Heat treatment is the most widely used and accepted treatment for sapphires. It involves heating the sapphire to high temperatures to improve its color and clarity. This process can lighten or darken the stone's color and remove or reduce visible inclusions. It's important to note that the majority of sapphires in the market have undergone heat treatment. Heat-treated sapphire is very durable.
Irradiation is a treatment method that involves exposing the sapphire to controlled radiation to alter its color. This treatment can enhance the intensity of blue and green colors in sapphires.
Lattice diffusion is a treatment that introduces certain elements, like beryllium or titanium, into the sapphire's crystal structure to alter its color. This method can create or enhance a range of colors, including orange and yellow.
Beryllium diffusion specifically involves the introduction of beryllium into the sapphire to achieve a variety of colors.
Filling: Some sapphires may have surface-reaching fractures or cavities that are filled with a colorless substance to improve clarity and appearance. These filled sapphires should be handled with care, as exposure to extreme heat or chemicals can damage the filling material.
We disclose all treatments on our stones. Our sapphires are either heated, or unheated, which is disclosed when purchasing. All other treatments are not as common, and we do not deal in those treated stones.
Spiritual Properties: Sapphires are spiritually revered for their association with wisdom, inner peace, and intuition. These gemstones are believed to stimulate mental clarity, enhance communication, and offer protection against negativity. Sapphires symbolize balance and harmony, aligning one's physical and spiritual aspects. They are also linked to divine connection and higher truths, reflecting a rich spiritual heritage.
Although we recreate our styles, we cannot use the exact same gemstone for each new piece due to the unique nature of natural gemstones. We do, however, make an effort to recreate our styles using similar gemstones whenever possible. Diamonds are the exception, as they are more plentiful, and allow us to recreate pieces almost exactly.
At Lavender Creek Gems, our mission is to create one-of-a-kind gemstone and diamond jewelry designed to be cherished for generations. Our pieces feature carefully selected stones, responsibly sourced through ethical relationships with our suppliers worldwide. Using one-of-a-kind gemstones or diamonds ensures each item stands apart, guaranteeing its individual appeal.
Although we recreate our styles, we cannot use the exact same gemstone for each new piece due to the unique nature of natural gemstones. As a result, we do not restock exact rings. No two stones are the same, guaranteeing their one-of-a-kind nature.
Our videos are captured using natural window lighting to ensure the most accurate color representation. Please be aware that variations in monitor or phone color settings may impact the perceived colors.
Most of these rules apply to engagement rings that are worn daily. When in doubt, just remove! It's always better to err on the side of caution with gemstones and precious metals. We know how special these pieces are (and how much you have invested in them!) and we want you to be able to wear your jewelry as long as possible.
Most gemstone jewelry must be cleaned a little more often than traditional diamond jewelry. We recommend cleaning your gemstone jewelry every few weeks if you're really ambitious, but once a month will suffice, usually. It truly depends on your lifestyle and how often your piece is worn.
To be covered under our warranty, please send us your piece for annual (or bi-annual, even better!) maintenance. We check all prongs, polish, and clean your jewelry for you under our warranty. Please reach out to us to schedule. For more warranty information, click here.
