Blue Sapphire inventory software for dealers
Blue sapphires are corundum stones sourced mainly from Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Myanmar, Kashmir and Thailand. A blue sapphire's price swings on origin and treatment. A stone that is unheated and from Sri Lanka or Myanmar sells for a very different price from a heated one of the same size, so those two facts have to travel with the stone through every parcel, memo and invoice.
What to record for each blue sapphire
Typical fields: origin, heat treatment status, colour grade, carat weight and lab report number. GemColony keeps these on the stone record with photos and a barcode or QR label.
Parcels, lots and memos
Buy blue sapphires as a lot, split it into parcels and single stones, and send stones out on memo while seeing who holds them and for how long.
