Kashmir Sapphires

Genuine • Natural • Certified

Kashmir Sapphire is a rare and highly coveted variety of sapphires that is mined in the Kashmir region of India. The Kashmir mines were only active for a short period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the production of Kashmir Sapphire has been very limited ever since. The intense, velvety blue color of Kashmir Sapphire is widely considered to be the finest and most desirable of any sapphire in the world, and it is prized for its rich, deep color and exceptional clarity. In addition to its beauty, Kashmir Sapphire is valued for its rarity and historical significance. Kashmir Sapphire is often set in fine jewelry, including engagement rings, and it can command some of the highest prices of any gemstone. Due to its limited supply and high demand, Kashmir Sapphire is extremely rare and difficult to obtain, and it is considered a true treasure of the gemstone world.
