Truly one of the best vintage jewellery collections in London.
We had the most wonderful experience buying my vintage engagement ring from Berganza.
Fantastic experience buying an engagement ring. Would highly recommend. Berganza has the best collection of antique rings to choose from.
Burmese Spphires are members of the corundum family. Corundum has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale making sapphires highly durable and suitable for everyday wear.
To clean your Burmese Sapphire ring, soak it in warm water with a small amount of mild soap. Gently brush the stone with a soft bristled toothbrush to remove any dirt or oils, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint free cloth.
Burmese Sapphires exhibit a few key characteristics, the most significant of which is their colour. They are known for a very rich and deep blue, comparable to the midnight sky. This colour is closer to a true blue than a Ceylon stone and is comparatively darker and more intense.
While these visual traits are a useful indicator, the exact origin of a sapphire can only be confirmed by gemmological certification. If you are looking for a Burmese Sapphire ring, we recommend purchasing through a reputable retailer.
Of all gem deposits mined in Burma (now Myanmar), fewer than 10% yield sapphires, making them markedly rarer than the region's celebrated rubies and materially scarcer than Ceylon or Australian stones. Price is determined principally by colour: the finest exhibit the coveted "Royal Blue" hue, a pure, vivid, slightly violetish blue of strong saturation, a grade achieved by only a small fraction of sapphires worldwide. Provenance, carat weight and clarity also influence value. At Berganza, our Burmese sapphire rings begin at around £4,000.
