Treasures of the Earth

"Treasures of the Earth" is a collection of noteworthy gemstones hand-picked by our team of gemstone experts. Every gemstone in this collection will captivate you with its intrinsic beauty and spectacular flair.

Here's a seductive blue sapphire with the deep saturation of color and high luster typical of the renowned Kashmir sapphires. This natural sapphire hails from Burma (Myanmar), a region typically associated with the finest rubies but sometimes also yielding glorious blue sapphires. This 7.29-carat sapphire, mined from the Mogok stone tract, shows a stunning royal blue color with beautiful clarity, unenhanced by heat treatment. As Burma produces only a tiny percentage of the world's gem-quality sapphires, this is a rare, collector-grade blue sapphire worthy of the most prized collection.
