Buy White Sapphires in Beruwala, Sri Lanka

Colourless Ceylon sapphires offer diamond-like brilliance with superior toughness at a fraction of the price. Compare cuts and carat weights to find a clean, lively stone.

Colourless corundum — white sapphire — offers the brilliance and hardness of sapphire without the colour. It is a popular, durable alternative to diamond in everyday jewellery, and because it forms in large clean crystals, well-cut white sapphires are widely available at accessible prices.

The stone's appeal rises and falls on cut: a poorly proportioned white sapphire can look lifeless or show a “window” straight through the middle, while a well-cut one returns bright light. Look for crisp brilliance in daylight, and be cautious of stones that appear hazy or milky. White stones are usually untreated, but diffusion and fracture filling exist in the wider market and should always be disclosed.

What to check when buying white sapphires

  • Look for crisp brilliance in daylight; a hazy or milky white stone will never look lively, whatever the report says.
  • Check for a 'window' — a see-through patch in the middle that shows the setting instead of returning light.
  • Ask about treatment: white sapphire is usually untreated, but diffusion and fracture filling exist and must be disclosed.
  • Compare it against another well-cut stone of similar size — white sapphire's appeal is almost entirely about cut quality.
