(Our Wind and Waves Engagement Ring
in Yellow Gold with a Sri Lankan Center Sapphire provided by Guy)
Our sapphires come from Guy Clutterbuck, who has formed a partnership with a Sri Lankan gem dealer and his partner. Together, they invest in a small scale mining operation with eight miners and a foreman. As eleven shareholders, they work cooperatively in mining and polishing operations. Each gets a share of the sale. Mining is done by hand, which assures that the supply will last generations.
The vast majority of sapphires sold today are heat treated, which is permanent and enhances the color and clarity. Sapphire sold as untreated must have certification a third party lab which authenticate the natural state.
Our Standard Sapphires
Since it is impossible to detect heat treatment without specific equipment and expertise, we assume the round sapphires listed below, ranging from one half to one full carat, are heat treated. These are the round sapphires that we offer for our standard engagement rings. They are all AAA and exquisitely cut with beautiful color. These are a sampling of what we have to offer.
