White Sapphire is helping men to lean towards the alternative cure regimes in a healthy and happy way. The increasing popularity of the use of White Sapphire as natural healing agents in the East has been reawakening in the West as well. This brilliance gemstone is associated with the stress management as it helps to deal with the Mental Clarity.
Gold shares the yellow warm color which is considered to be both bright and cheerful. A traditional gift for the fiftieth anniversary also represents the somber and excesses of richness. While the gold-like bronze is for the eighth anniversary and copper with its reddish-gold tones is for the seventh. As the Bright gold catches the eye the darker subdued shades of gold lend richness and warmth.
Platinum also termed as Platina because it shares the same color as Silver was discovered by a Spanish explorer in Columbia in 1538. It is hypoallergic to only 10% resist tarnishing and do not require flux when soldering. They require oxygen with the fuel when melting since they possess a high melting point. The other six metals which belong to the Platinum family are Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, Ruthenium, Iridium and Osmium.
Silver is a very soft and malleable metal with use it develops rich patina or sheen. This tends to get discolored or tarnished when exposed to sulfur compounds in the air, or from contact with certain foods. If the smudge is not removed, the stain will become dark grey to black in color and completely cover the original silver color.

SABRINA’S ADVICE & PICKS
The White Sapphire is considered to a good substitute for White Diamond. Although these gemstones give out the brilliance shine after the cut yet it does not have the same “fire” as the Diamond. The Refractive Index of the White Sapphire is less in comparison to White Diamond and is second (9) in the hardness scale. White Sapphire belongs to Corundum family and White Diamond belongs to the family of Carbon. Although hard it is not safe to clean White Sapphire in an Ultrasonic Cleaner, but risky to use a steamer. We recommend Ionic Cleaners and/or warm, soapy water and a soft brush as the best way to clean Sapphire jewelry.
