Pink sapphire is one of the fastest-rising gem varieties in recent years, and consumers in Japan, the United States and other countries have shown great enthusiasm for it. Pink sapphire has a lighter tone than ruby, and the color saturation is not very high. It presents a delicate and pleasant bright pink, but it is not very intense. In the colored sapphire family, its price is second only to Padparadscha, and high-quality ones cost tens of thousands per carat, but if the hue has obvious brown and gray, the value will be greatly reduced.
Orange sapphires are also very beautiful to look at, and are very popular when they are bright orange with a reddish tinge. Its beauty is comparable to that of Padparadscha, but because the output is more than that of Parpardscha, the price is not as expensive as the former, but the price is much higher than that of green and purple sapphires.
If the color of purple, green, and yellow sapphires is rich and bright, the price is not low. When green sapphires are as green as emeralds, the price can be very high. But these three colors of sapphires often have gray and brown tones, which reduce the beauty and value of the gemstone.
