Like all coloured gemstones, the tones, hues and saturation of the peacock sapphires play a role in determining their beauty. In other cases, a sapphire will show both green and blue in a pattern of colour zoning or colour gradation. In some cases, the sapphires are teal in colour, an almost perfect balance of blue and green. Reminiscent of the colours in a peacock’s feathers (hence the name), these sapphires occur in a huge range of shades and hues. In the case of peacock sapphires, these shades are green and blue. The teal sapphire revolution has brought a new style of sapphires to the fore – sapphires that show shades of two colours.
What many people don’t know is that sapphires come in virtually every colour of the rainbow, but the jewellery industry has always focused on single colour sapphires. Whilst sapphire engagement rings are a well-known jewellery classic, most people still think of sapphires as blue. One of these is salt and pepper diamonds, but tremendously popular at the moment are peacock (or teal) sapphires. Over the past few years, we’ve seen some very definite engagement ring trends in South Africa.
