The most sought after stone in the blue gem jewelry is the Ceylon Sapphire. This sapphire is a deep blue color that makes the individual feel as though she is sinking into the cool blue of the sparkling gemstone. There are different cuts of this stone, each reflecting the blue of the stone in a different way. Often individuals looking for blue gem jewelry will look for the darkest color of a sapphire thinking that this is the best color to buy. However, the trick with sapphires is to look for a stone that is brilliantly blue, so that it is the ‘bluest blue’ so to speak on the market. The size of the stone also matters in the pricing as well as the clarity of the stone and the type of cut that is used. The more facets that are cut into the stone, the more expensive the blue gem jewelry will usually cost the individual to buy it.

There are other stones that are also a beautiful blue in blue gem jewelry. There is the blue topaz which is a lighter blue than the sapphire but is still a deeper blue than something like the aquamarine. The topaz is usually not as expensive as the sapphires are, and both of these stones can often be found at a wholesale gem dealership in a loose format, which allows individuals to choose the perfect stone to go into the ring setting of their choice. One aspect of choosing a loose stone is to make sure that it is clear and that it has adequate width and depth for the type of cut that will be used on the stone before it goes into the setting.

The aquamarine is another blue gem jewelry stone that is often used in this type of jewelry. It is a very light color of stone, often looking like the sky’s color on a very clear day. This stone can be gorgeously set into a ring band that is full of diamonds, which accents the brilliant blue of the aquamarine in the main part of the setting.
