Orange Sapphires

99.999% of orange sapphires (can sometimes be called padparadscha sapphires too but only if they contain pink hues as well as the orange) have been heat-treated to gain their spectacular vibrant colour. They can range from light pastel oranges, yellowish orange, to vivid reddish orange due to their blend of red and yellow hues. The deep, rich hue of the orange sapphire is often associated with wisdom and power. Being a sapphire means they are the hardest coloured stone available and so compared to a Citrine (a member of the quartz family, which is also almost always heat-treated), orange sapphire is much more durable and better suited to the wear and tear of daily life.

While many colors inspire emotional reactions, none is so passionate as the response to orange. It’s definitely a love-it-or-hate-it color. Orange has one of the strongest measurable physical effects of any color. Orange stimulates the appetite, increases energy level, and even stimulates the thyroid to boost metabolism. Orange is powerful.

Orange is fun, flamboyant, dynamic and radiates warmth, it uplifts, gives confidence and always injects fun.
