The selection of sapphires offers a magical array of colours from brilliant green, deep blue, orange and lilac as well as the famous Australian parti-sapphire. This means that mining practices are dictated by seasonal and cyclical climate changes. Rainfall is required to work a sapphire mine. Sapphire mines are very shallow, having a far lower impact on the land, than large open-cut or incredibly deep mines. Australia is home to independent, small, family-run operations, often with just a single person working the leasehold on the minefield. This allows us to have unprecedented supply-chain transparency. We have visited the mine sites to verify the working conditions and witness the minimal impact extraction has on the environment. We specialise in ethically and sustainably sourced Australian sapphires.
