Astrology plays a vital role in human life. People relate planets and gems to their birth charts and future. Anyone who has a firm belief in gemology would understand the very many benefits that gemstones can provide if worn as per the birth month of the wearer. If you are born in the month of September, then the September birthstone sapphire is the one you must buy to reap its benefits.
SOURCE OF ORIGIN
Ceylon Sapphires have their origin in Sri Lanka. The country was once called Ceilão by the Portuguese and was later translated into English as Ceylon by the British. This is why the sapphires from Sri Lanka are still fondly called. Bangkok Sapphires, as the name suggests, originates in Bangkok – the capital of Thailand. Also known as the gemstone capital of the world, Bangkok is one of the most sought-after producers of sapphires in this day and age.
PRODUCTION
Ceylon sapphires are found naturally in the earth’s soil composition. They are extracted through mining. On the other hand, Bangkok is a hub of gemstones where all types of rough gemstones, from across the world, are brought to be processed. So gemstones in this region are manufactured to jewelry, cut and treated. Thus, Bangkok sapphires are not really found from inside the earth. More often than not, they are processed and treated to get the exquisiteness that they carry.
COLOR
As already mentioned, Ceylon sapphires are naturally found inside the earth. This is the reason why they have somewhat vague color combinations as their elements and compositions are untouched and untreated.Whereas the Bangkok sapphires are usually heat treated and so they have a bit deeper color than the Ceylon sapphires.
POLISHING
As the Ceylon Sapphires are mined, they are not usually well polished because of their vulnerability to get easily mechanically damaged. Whereas, Bangkok sapphires are well-polished ones. Because of being heat treated as well, they have great clarity and the polishing adds more charm to their already stunning looks.
VALUE
One of the key differences between a Ceylon sapphire and a Bangkok sapphire lies in their value. Ceylon sapphires are not that commonly found, this is the reason why they demand a greater price in the market than their contemporaries. The Bangkok sapphire, in contrast, is quite cheaper. But that doesn’t mean that their value isn’t much. They are also one of the most highly demanded and valued sapphires in the world.
