A cool-toned sapphire from the Weld River in Tasmania, cut in an octagonal step style that plays up its silvery teal color. Tasmanian sapphires are known for their quiet, moody palette—often mixing blues, greens, and greys in a way that feels grounded and understated. This one leans into that softer side with a color that feels both earthy and elegant.
The Weld River region produces sapphires in small quantities, and most stones are recovered by hand from ancient river gravels. Gems like this are rarely large or flashy, but they carry a sense of place and personality that mass-market stones just don’t have.
