The presence of any secondary colors as well as their intensity and purity of the stone are also taken into account. This makes color the most crucial element when assessing the sapphire's quality.

The way the stone is cut directly affects its capacity to reflect light and color and thus its beauty. If the sapphire has not been cut correctly, its center will appear dull and lifeless.
