commitment | spirituality | integrity

Although sapphires are found in every color except for red, they are known for deep blue variations. 

A favored gem among royalty, like Princess Kate, sapphires are deeply connected to commitment and loyalty. They are symbols of devotion, and with a durability of 9 on the Mohs Scale, they make perfect centerpieces for engagement rings.

Sapphires are more than just a beautiful addition to your jewelry collection as they also inspire wisdom and intuition.

Types of Sapphires by Origin

Sapphires are found all over the world. Different regions are known for their gems’ unique qualities, with geology playing a role in color, inclusions, sparkle, and more. Here are just a few examples of where sapphires are found.

Australian sapphires are prized for rich earthy tones. They often feature strong color zoning—distinct areas of different colors within the stone. Australian sapphires are an affordable choice, with many stones being heat-treated to enhance color and clarity.

Montana is one of the only places in the United States where sapphires can be mined. Montana sapphires are known for their ethical sourcing, and are often mined artisanally in places like Rock Creek and Yogo Gulch. These stones exhibit brilliant sparkle and unique colors ranging from blue to green to yellow.

Sri Lanka is a popular sapphire producer, famous for bright blue, pink, yellow, orange, and green stones. A popular variety from this country is the Padparadscha sapphire, which looks like a Sri Lankan sunset.

Madagascar is a newer, prolific source of sapphires, with mining efforts beginning in 1991. These stones are known for their ethical mining practices, and are often more affordable than sapphires from other origins.
