Multi-Colored Sapphire Jewelry

Although sapphire means blue in Latin, sapphires can be found in a rainbow of colors. This beautiful multi-colored sapphire jewely is made with natural blue, yellow and pink sapphires and accented with fine white diamonds. The multi-colored sapphire jewelry is made out of 14k white gold. 
Sapphires are commonly treated with heat to enhance the color and clarity and the treatment is considered acceptable and permanent. Approximately, 99% of sapphires used in jewelry are heated, leaving 1% which are unheated and considered very rare. 
Since sapphires are tough and durable, they can withstand most cleaning methods. Steaming or ultrasonic cleaners are acceptable. Your sapphire jewelry may be cleaned with a soft-bristled brush or a cloth with plain or soapy water. Sapphires must not be put in boiling hot water. Avoid exposure to hairspray, perfume and chlorine, which can dull gemstones.
