Very dark blue(almost black) sapphire is the best?

Question

I read a lot about sapphires on net, and it seems to be just something that people think, that apparently lighter sapphires are as good. But then again, these are websites that try to sell things so they can say anything. Is it true that darkest blue sapphire is the best colour gem(not considering size, cut, purity) and if you have the choice what colour would you go for?

Answer 1

I like what are called Ceylon sapphires. They are a medium blue that really draws you into the stone. It is the kind of sapphire on Princess Diana's famous ring. Here is what the color looks like: http://www.gemfix.com/sapphire_blue1.html

Color preference is something that is personal, and I really like the light blue Ceylon sapphires. Others have their own preferences.
