Sapphire imagery

We have many beautiful loose sapphires in stock.  Whether you are looking for a round, oval, marquise, square or pear shape, we have them all (plus many more) in a variety of sizes and colours.

As mentioned in my Sapphire blog, Sapphire and Ruby are members of the Corundum family. Pinkish red, red and reddy brown stones are called Rubies. All other colours of Corundum are termed Sapphires.  To most people a Sapphires is blue, but they actually come in all colours from black to white. Corundum is second only to Diamond in terms of its physical hardness, (although exhibiting only 1/140th of the hardness of Diamond), This hardness (9 on the Moh's scale) in relation to all other gemstones has ensured Sapphires position with Ruby and Emerald  as one of the so called "precious gems".
