I’m currently in Thailand and I have some Kashmir royal blue sapphires with good sizes that I want to try and cut a few atleast use one for my my pendant 😂😂! Please can you advise, I don’t want them heated. How do I explain this to the person that is to cut it? And can you also advise a possible place to cut one in BKK? Thanks

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Hi Fred, Sorry just saw your message. There are a lot cutters in Bangkok or Chanthaburi and really depends in what quality the stones are and how much you would like to spend. Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@sergioortega5869]

Hello, good day, you know, I just acquired a Sapphire of more than 15 carats, Kashmir blue sapphire without treatment and without heating. In these I see your videos I see prices for the treatments and those that are not without heating, but these from Kashmir will be another, more valuable price or they have the same price. because I have. one over 36 carats heated which is of Sri Lankan origin has excellent color

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Nice collection and like I discussed on the video we have to take into all the six factors - carat weight, color, clarity, cut, origin and treatment. Now if you have a 15 carat Kashmir Blue sapphire (unheated) - it pretty much hits most of the factors - only thing we have to see cut and color grade, Same with 36 carat Sri Lankan. Anyways, both are amazing investments and congratulation in having them. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@sergioortega5869]

@@ThaiNativeGems my question is the following: do you live in the usa, what part of it am i in connecticut, usa, if you live around here. you have the authority to certify or you send them to GIA.

[@edibarat8714]

Hai please help me&i need your opinion, better purchase the un heated with unequaly luster or heated with equally luster metallic blue? Tq

[@ThaiNativeGems]

In terms of investment, unheated due to being more rare does go up price a lot more. In terms of everyday use, both are equally good. Heated Blue Sapphire color is stable. Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@rainbowstar2775]

What is the rarest most valued color? A cornflower blue? Or royal blue?

[@edibarat8714]

@@rainbowstar2775 of course royal blue👍

[@juan-ksporty7348]

my grandfather gave me a sapphire blue rough stone unheated 55 carat where can i sell it??

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Recommend you certified it first and then see if there any dealers interested in it. As discussed in the video it really depends on six criteria - 4Cs + OT (Carat weight, color, cut, clarity, origin and treatment). Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@kanchanagavesh1323]

Useful video

Thanks!

[@faslurrahman7060]

Nice video but in same clarity grade everybody asking in low price in Sri lanka so do buy this kind of royal blue more then 3 crts but I will give you in reasonable price

woow explanations is extremely clear i would like to see u sharing video about heating process of sapphire am sapphire specialist i would like to share information if need sir cheers 🍻 😊

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Sure, please do share more information regarding the heating process. The more we can educate the better it will be for our industry. Can you email me the details at [e-mail]. Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Yes they are and that is why 'high' price as well. :)

[@kylerussell6]

I’ve seen your ruby video as well. Have you done emeralds yet?

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Hi Kyle, Haven't done the pricing for emerald yet. I will be doing one soon so stay tune! Hope you found the ruby and sapphire videos useful. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@elk_h]

Very informative, thank you! May I ask, what would be the price/ct for 2-3ctw, heated Sri Lankan with similar quality as shown here?

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Hi, if this quality price 'heated' stone around 2 to 3 carat price I believe should be around US$1,200 to US$1,500 per carat. Prices do drop dramatically if the stone is subject with heat treatment and size drops towards 2 carats. Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@faslurrahman7060]

Pls make more videos and thanks

What about diffusion sapphire???

[@fawmyshaid7154]

Wow srilankan stones great

[@DreidMusicalX]

So basically all those stones on eBay are all fakes for the prices they're selling them for?

[@ThaiNativeGems]

They might not be necessary fake but most probably sacrificing one of the six criteria (4Cs + OT - carat weight, color, clarity, cut grade, origin or treatment). That is why is important to get a reliable third party certificate or trust the person you dealing with. Thanks for the question. Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@adamlefever8151]

The heated ones look better. Seems like a heated one is more attractive and the price of the unheated stone doesn’t make sense. It’s just a way to make the price more by claiming it is an untouched stone.

[@hpokdrag]

It’s the matter of rarity. Heating can easily make a stone look better but to own an unheated that looks equally as great is harder to come by so super rich peeps love that

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Exactly. Its all about how rare a particular gemstone is. If the untreated gemstone comes out in this color, it exceptionally rare and extremely difficult to find and that is why they command a much higher price. Heated gemstones without treatment generally doesn't look as attractive (can look dull blue, or white cloudy stone, etc.,). Therefore these stones are less rare and therefore more easily available and cheaper. I do agree though look-wise they look exactly the same. Though in general, long term, the unheated & untreated ones keep going up in value and it is a 'status' symbol. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@rudyhabib2]

wholesale prices?

[@ThaiNativeGems]

We actually provide same price for all customers, wholesale or retail. You can get cheaper blue sapphires but will usually have sacrifice one of 4Cs + OT criteria. Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

[@irshadqureshi1244]

Unheated very high price

[@ThaiNativeGems]

Agree and it is possible to get cheaper unheated 4-carat blue sapphire. However, you do have to sacrifice some of the 4Cs, especially color... Must blue sapphires you see don't have this vivid blue color, which makes the stone shown in the video exceptionally rare and therefore can command a much higher price. Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG
