Our sapphires come from ethical and small scale businesses in Montana and Queensland, Australia. We pride ourselves on their ethical and transparent policies when it comes to mining and business practices. Montana Sapphires are best known for having a softer look, commonly in blues and greens. Whereas, Australian Sapphires are richer in color and showcase hues of blue, green, and crisp oranges. Australian Sapphires can also be spotted by their bi-color properties, having two or more colors in the same cut, making for a beautiful effect when held to the light.
