Ethical sapphire

The sapphire measures 8.2 x 5.9 x 3.7 mm. It was mined by hand by artisanal miners in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. These miners are indigenous Dayak men and women, who received a fair price for their rough sapphires.

To get this sapphire, I travelled 3 days into the remote jungles of Borneo. I slept in a tiny village along the river, and mined together with the miners. I then purchased the rough (a 3.81 ct chunk of silky blue) directly from one of the miners. 

The rough sapphire has been cut into a hexagon shape at the all female cutting facility Paradise Gems in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka. 

The final sapphire is natural blue, without any heat treatment. It's silky with some crystal patterns and rainbows throughout the face of the gemstone. It's not perfect, but this gem sure has stories to tell! 

You can see how this sapphire is fully traceable from mine to ring, and why I dare to say it's been ethically sourced!

Sapphire - September birthstone

Sapphire is the September birthstone. This mesmerizing gemstone symbolizes wisdom, loyalty and faith. She was once believed to protect your loved ones from harm.

At first glance, sapphire gleams with power and strength, but her true colors shine within kindness and hope – that’s the stone’s real secret sauce. Sapphire lets us get real because she offers great wisdom of intuitive truth, insight and healing. A symbol of friendship and peace, and a shield for negative energy.

Diamond

The most notorious, famously famous of all the crystals – the diamond is the April birthstone and a hell of a fighter. It’s a crazy powerful stone that enhances inner vision. Diamonds make happiness a million times better. It’s a stone to bring forth the art of “more”. Whatever you feel inside, diamond amplifies it tenfold.
