Durability is an essential consideration when investing in a gemstone that will be worn and cherished for decades, and here the white sapphire excels. Sapphires register a nine on the Mohs scale of hardness, second only to diamond which sits at ten. To put this in perspective quartz rates seven, making sapphire significantly more resistant to scratches and abrasions that occur with everyday life. This exceptional hardness means that a sapphire is well suited for rings and pieces that receive frequent wear, offering peace of mind alongside perennial elegance. While its robustness lends itself to daily wear, gentle care will preserve its brilliance, and routine cleaning with warm water mild detergent and a soft brush is advised, avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme temperature shifts. At The Natural Sapphire Company we stand behind the authenticity and quality of this gem and we are pleased to offer guidance on setting and care that will protect your investment.
