White sapphires are often used as a less expensive alternative to diamonds in engagement rings and other types of fine jewellery. They are also sometimes used as a replacement for traditional white gemstones, such as pearls or white topaz.
White sapphires are rated on the "Four Cs" scale to determine their value. The "Four Cs" are cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight. White sapphires are typically graded on a scale from poor to excellent based on the clarity and colour of the stone, as well as the quality of the cut. White sapphires with high clarity and good cut quality are generally more valuable.
White sapphires can be found in a variety of cuts and shapes, including round, oval, cushion, and pear. They are often used as accent stones in jewellery, such as in halo engagement rings or as side stones in earrings or pendants. White sapphires can also be used as the main stone in a piece of jewellery, particularly when paired with diamonds or other white gemstones.
