About Sapphire: The modern day jewelry lover is no longer satisfied by choosing a gem based merely on likes and preference - the trend is to learn more about a specific gemstone. The gemstone in a sapphire claddagh ring, can easily be valued more than the gold in the jewel, this is because sapphires are rare, gorgeous, tough and expensive. The RG126n sapphire ring is set with a natural certified sapphire gemstone. Sapphires have since ancient times, been heated to improve their color and transparency. Known as the 'conventional heat' process, this method does not reduce the durability or value of the gemstone. Certification from an independent third party, provides conclusive proof of the gem being natural and being heated. It is important to ensure that you get a natural sapphire for your claddagh ring, the gemstone should not be treated through any of the newer developed methods of treatment - we will tell you why in a moment. Gem traders have developed newer methods to treat sapphires, this process involves heating the gem with a few chemicals. Sapphires treated by this form of treatment are referred to as 'diffused' sapphires. These stones can appear gorgeous but they are worth, substantially less as compared to conventionally heated sapphires. Another form of treatment used to process sapphires significantly reduces the durability and value of the gem. Sapphires treated through this process are referred to as 'fissure filled' or 'glass filled' sapphires.
