The sapphire is one of the four great precious stones with the ruby, the emerald and the diamond. It is a silicate belonging to the corundum family. Corundums can be in any color. When it is red it is called ruby and if it is blue it is called sapphire. The other colors are called green sapphire, pink sapphire or yellow sapphire….and leucosaphir if the stone is colorless.
With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, corundum has great scratch resistance and their zero cleavage makes it one of the most shock-resistant stones.
The blue color of sapphires is caused by the presence of iron and titanium in the chemical composition of the stone. The more iron, the darker the stone.
The majority of sapphires are mined in Southeast Asia, the most famous being Ceylon sapphires.The physical, chemical and aesthetic qualities of corundum give designers immense creative freedom.
Laura Sayan's Chouchane rings showcase faceted rubies or sapphires. Patrick Voillot works with exceptional stones and matches them to creations with animal themes, such as the Little Tiger ring set with sapphires or the Lion King ring set with rubies and white sapphires, set in yellow gold. Colored sapphires are also in the spotlight, Mad Private sublimates a green sapphire thanks to a blackened silver ring and pink sapphires contrast with the opaque green of the jade on the jewelry creations of Nadine Asoy.
Alexandra Abramczyk uses several sapphire colors, thus achieving colorful and joyful creations. Her bracelets, necklaces and rings are real rainbows, sublimating the body. The multicolored sapphire bracelet from Mad Precious & Ethical follows this trend, while being part of a responsible approach thanks to the use of gold labeled Fairmined.
