Here is another one of those Natural and Unheated wonders of nature. The colour and stone that made Sri Lanka famous in the days of old. A Ceylon Royal Blue Sapphire. Royal for that exact reason, it was a prized possession sought after by royalty and monarchs around the world.

The pictures will never do justice to actually holding one of these in your hands. Truly a piece worthy of standing the test of time to become a part of future history.

Sadly it is getting harder and harder to find a quality gem like this in mines of Sri Lanka, but that also means the investment value of this gem is increasing rapidly. This is one for the people who know the ins and outs of finding great gems.

DM us to feel the Royal in this Ceylon Blue Sapphire. Message us if you want to see more stones like this. If you are a repeat customer, we will show you the ones we don’t advertise.

Can you hear the wedding bells? This Diamond draped creation is an elegant pure expression of how you feel. Most other gems are made in the Earth’s crust, but Diamonds are made deep in the mantle of our planet. That is what makes them unique to most other gems. They are also on top of the Mohs scale for mineral hardness.

Diamonds with their unique attributes have been used for millennia to show how madly, truly, strongly and deeply you love someone. Don’t get us wrong, we know that you don’t need a Diamond White Gold ring to prove your love, but sometimes it’s amazing to give something precious to someone precious.

Truly these are enigmatic stones. The Opal dances in a multitude of colours and you can simply look at them for days. They have been sought after since ancient times for their “magical” properties. Of course our ancestors will think they are magic. You just need to look at them.

Tourmalines is another gem that comes in all the colours in the spectrum. The name comes from a term that Dutch merchants used in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) to describe the multicoloured water-worn pebbles that miners found there.

Do you know that Sapphires form naturally in all the colours of the rainbow? Their mineral composition makes them a part of the corundum species and are one of the most sought after gems in the world. This rainbow collection is a great way to be dazzled with an array of colours that set your eyes alight.

Often a collectors item, because in a single purchase you can acquire the full range of Sapphires. We believe in adding colour to life. There are times it comes with a personality or a moment of the day, and there are other times it comes out with the very things you wear. This is for the ones who love a little bit of everything. 

DM us or Connect on +61 424 009 223 to acquire the whole collection at a great deal, or purchase individual items. We also undertake the finding of gems to complete any collection. Whatever you desire in this world of precious gems, we can source for you.
