Part of the corundum family, sapphires occur in every color except red (which are rubies), from the classic cornflower blue to vibrant pinks, sunny yellows, and everything in between. Notable sources include Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa, and Montana, USA, where some of our favorite stones originate. Some specimens exhibit "asterism," creating a moving star effect that seems to dance across the surface: a truly magical phenomenon that adds extra wonder to these already captivating gems.

Ancient Persians believed Earth rested on a giant sapphire, creating the sky's brilliant blue color. Medieval clergy wore sapphires to represent Heaven and believed they could cure plague and eye diseases. The gem gained renewed fame through Princess Diana's iconic engagement ring, cementing its place as a symbol of wisdom, loyalty, and noble beauty, perfect for pieces that celebrate both everyday elegance and life's most precious moments.

From the Greek "adamas" meaning "unconquerable," diamonds truly live up to their name as the hardest natural substance on Earth. Formed over 100 miles below the surface through immense pressure and heat, these nearly pure carbon crystals rank a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale. The legendary Cullinan diamond, discovered in South Africa in 1905, weighed an astounding 3,106 carats and was cut into nine magnificent stones now adorning the British Crown Jewels.

Ancient Romans believed diamonds were tears of gods or fragments of falling stars, with Cupid's arrows tipped in their brilliance. Medieval cultures thought they could cure everything from fatigue to mental illness. Today, diamonds continue to represent eternal love and unbreakable bonds, perfect for heirloom pieces that celebrate life's most precious moments with unmatched sparkle and durability.
