The Truth about Sapphires.

For centuries, blue sapphires have been purchased for their stunning beauty and timeless elegance, dating back to the Roman Empire. However, what many people don't realize is that sapphires come in a spectrum of colours beyond blue. In fact, the majority of sapphires available worldwide have been treated in some way to enhance their colour and clarity.

At Sorbet Sapphire, we offer a range of sapphires that includes both unheated and treated options, all ethically sourced and of the highest quality. This provides our clients with a variety of choices that allow them to make informed decisions based on their preferences and values. With our commitment to natural, coloured sapphires, we offer a stunning array of options for jewelry artisans and businesses to create breathtaking pieces that capture the essence of love and elegance.

Beauty and Rarity in One.

Once people realize that sapphires come in a range of colours, it's important that they can see this diversity for themselves. However, selecting the most beautiful and desirable sapphires is not always easy. Many sapphires don't meet the standards for "commercial" quality, lacking the desired colour and clarity.

At Sorbet Sapphire, we are passionate about the natural beauty of sapphires and believe that each one is a unique work of art created by nature. That's why we have carefully handpicked each sapphire in our collection based on a strict set of criteria, including colour, clarity, cut, uniqueness, and overall beauty. By focusing on the natural qualities of each sapphire, we ensure that our clients have access to a stunning range of gemstones that truly capture the essence of nature's beauty.

A Full Spectrum of Colours.

While sapphires come in a range of colours, not every shade and hue is readily available for purchase. At Sorbet Sapphire, we understand the importance of finding a truly unique sapphire that captures the essence of natural beauty and rarity.

Each sapphire in our collection has been handpicked for its exceptional qualities, making it a one-of-a-kind piece of art. From the shade of its colour to the intricate color-zoning patterns, every sapphire tells its own unique story. With our commitment to natural, coloured sapphires, we offer a stunning array of options for jewelry artisans and businesses to create breathtaking pieces that celebrate the natural beauty and individuality of each sapphire.

Transparency and Ethical Practices.

At Sorbet Sapphire, we have access to the most unique and one-of-a-kind sapphires from a variety of mining sources. Some of these sources are still producing new rough, while others are no longer active.

To ensure that our sapphires are ethically sourced and of the highest quality, we only work with established and respected mining companies and cutting houses within the sapphire industry. We are proud and fortunate to partner with a select few companies located in Australia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and the United States of America. Each of these companies is committed to providing us with sapphires that are exceptional in cut, colour, and clarity, allowing us to procure the most spectacular gemstones every time.

Montana Sapphires

The rich history of Montana sapphires is not to be overlooked. These unique gemstones were first discovered in 1865 and have since been associated with a range of hues including teal, blue, and green.

Today, Montana sapphires are in high demand internationally due to their stunning colours. However, it's important to note that most Montana sapphires are heat-treated to enhance their colours. While unheated sapphires from Montana are available, they typically exhibit softer, more pastel tones.

At Sorbet Sapphire, we are proud to offer a beautiful selection of sapphires from Montana, including those sourced from the Eldorado Bar and Rock Creek deposits. We work closely with trusted partners to ensure that our collection includes some of the most beautiful sapphires available, both heated and unheated, from this unique region.
