Australian Sapphires

Our sapphires are hand-mined in Australia’s Central Queensland Gemfields, where our family has spent more than 45 years searching for these remarkable treasures. Known for their unique blues, teals, greens and parti sapphires, this region has become part of our family’s story across four generations.

These stones come from finite ground, worked slowly and carefully — not mass-mined, manufactured or rushed from the earth. Every sapphire has been hard won. Hand-mining is back breaking work but we love it!
