No matter the shape of your stone (as long as it's symmetrical), look for one with even color and consistent sparkle. Bottom line: Don't worry about finding a flawless stone-as long as there aren't severe dark inclusions, you're good. No standardized quality-grading system exists for colored gemstones, but it's rare to find a natural sapphire without inclusions. The cut of a sapphire isn't as important as the cut of a diamond, because it's harder to see inclusions (read: internal flaws) in darker stones with the naked eye. A perfect blue sapphire will be royal blue without any modifying colors, such as gray, green or black, which might make the stone look inky or change its hue, according to Hucker. It goes without saying that the most important quality in a blue sapphire is the richness of its color. Choosing the Right Sapphire Engagement Ring for You
