About Australian sapphire
Australia is one of the world's great sapphire sources, with gemfields across central Queensland and northern New South Wales. Its sapphires are known for a range of earthy tones that set them apart from stones mined elsewhere, and many are worn just as they came out of the ground, untreated. Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest gemstones there is after diamond, so it takes everyday wear beautifully.
Hardness: 9 on the Mohs scale
Birthstone: September
Come and see them in the cabinet at Craigieburn. Australian sapphire really shows itself in person. And if you'd like your own version, a different stone or setting, that's exactly what we do: start with a Bespoke Jewellery Design Consultation.
