• Cut and proportions: A well-executed cut enhances brilliance, colour appearance and overall beauty.
• Transparency: Good transparency contributes to the gemstone’s visual appeal.
• Treatment status: Unheated and heat-treated sapphires can have different market values.
• Origin: A verified geographical origin, such as Sri Lanka, may influence buyer interest and pricing.
