Price
Real per-carat prices in AUD from our own stock, and what colour, size and heat add.
All our gemstones are 100% natural, and we only sell and source earth-mined natural gemstones and diamonds. Each ring is made to order in your choice of 9K to 21K gold, with bespoke commissions handcrafted in our Pitt Street workshop in Sydney, and an independent valuation certificate is available with any purchase for insurance purposes. Prefer to start from the stone? Design your ring around any loose sapphire in the house, or book a consultation at our Sydney showroom or by video.
Royal blue is the deepest saturated blue and the most sought after; cornflower is lighter and brighter; Australian blues run darker and often carry a hint of green. We show the options side by side at consultation, in daylight.
Some are and some are not. Heat treatment is a traditional enhancement of a natural stone, and unheated stones are rarer and priced accordingly. Heat treatment is a traditional enhancement of a natural stone; unheated stones are identified as such and priced accordingly.
