What is so fascinating about sapphires

As most of you have probably seen, we recently had some small unheated sapphires in many colors coming to online store. Amongst them was this unusual violetish grey sapphire. I don’t believe many of you have even heard of grey colored sapphires. They are quite rare and unknown to many. Grey is also considered an ‘undesirable’ color when it comes to sapphires. Therefore, there prices are relatively low due to lower demand.

What is so fascinating about sapphires is beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A stone that would be undesirable to one may be the most desirable to another.

Regardless of perceived value, I found this to be quite an interesting piece. Unlike stronger colored sapphires, this one tend to reflect  all the pretty colors that fall on it. So if you are wearing blue and green, its facets reflect those colors. 

One of my close friends who saw this stone, fell in love with it straight away. She says it’ll go beautifully with her mum’s silver hair and that it’ll be a fabulous Christmas gift mum and her can share. What a thoughtful way to celebrate Christmas. 

Many more small blue, yellow, pink and purple sapphires in store for you to pick a precious gift for your favorite. May be you will get to share the prezzie too?

Ladies, its pink season!

With Christmas just around the corner and Spring in Oceania, ladies its pink season! Isn’t this the best time of the year with lots family time with your favourites and holidays lining up?  

We recently visited South Australia and happened to drive past Lake Bumbumga in the outback. It was gleaming in pink with white salt banks. Bear in mind sea is no where to be seen and the lake is surrounded by beautiful wheat farms. If you are planning on visiting Australia, you must pay a visit to this place; it was the most magical experience. I believe pink water is due to an algae that grows in that particular mix of salty water. 

To make this holiday season even more exciting, we recently had new unheated pink sapphires coming to store. In general, pink sapphires look best under incandescent light, but photos on the website are under natural daylight to give you a more accurate idea of the color during the day. Almost all of them are very rich in color. What will you be asking santa this Christmas? Perhaps a pink sapphire that will hold lasting memories?
