Australian sapphires: A gem full of vibrant colour

Among the many types of sapphires, Australian sapphires stand out for their incredible colours. Mirroring the natural beauty of the land they come from, these gemstones showcase ocean blues, vibrant greens, rich golds, and fiery oranges. At Jason Ree, we celebrate this kaleidoscope of hues, working closely with miners and gem cutters to source sapphires that capture the essence of Australia. Our shorter supply chain offers a meaningful connection to each gemstone’s origins - providing a map from the earth to your bespoke piece, where the colours truly tell the story. 

Choosing the perfect sapphire engagement ring

The possibilities are endless for selecting a sapphire for your engagement ring - so start by considering a few key factors:

• Colour: The intensity of colour is one of the most important factors in determining the value and beauty of your sapphire. Consider the tone and saturation that best matches you and your partner’s style and personality, and how the light may change its appearance.
• Clarity: While clarity doesn’t affect a sapphire’s colour, it can impact its overall visual appeal. Sapphires with fewer inclusions often appear more refined and polished, making them a timeless choice for durability and beauty.
• Cut: The cut of the sapphire affects how it reflects light. At Jason Ree, we work with you to make sure you select a cut that showcases your vision and will take you to view your selection in various lights before you make your decision.
  Size and shape: The size and shape you select should compliment your design - which is why we take the process of consultations seriously. 

At Jason Ree, we work closely with you to design a ring that speaks to your unique love story, before we even start crafting your piece. With over 200 Australian sapphires to select from, we source unique gemstones to help you share your story, just as you see it.
