When you think of a sapphire, a deep, majestic blue probably comes to mind. It's the iconic shade of royalty and romance, but what if we told you that's only the beginning? The world of sapphires is a vibrant kaleidoscope of colour, offering a breathtaking alternative to traditional gemstones.

At Nude Jewellery, we love working with gemstones that tell a story—pieces that are as unique as the people who wear them. That's why we're so drawn to the incredible spectrum of sapphires and other precious stones that go far beyond the expected.

The Sapphire Spectrum: More Than Just Blue

Sapphires are a form of the mineral corundum, and depending on which trace elements are present, they can be found in almost every colour of the rainbow. These are often referred to as "fancy sapphires," and each has its own distinct personality.

• Pink Sapphires: From delicate, blush tones to vibrant magentas, pink sapphires are a symbol of romance and joy. They offer a more durable alternative to pink diamonds and look stunning when set in rose gold, which enhances their warm tones.

• Teal Sapphires: A modern favourite, these sapphires capture the serene beauty of the ocean with their beautiful blend of blue and green. They are a perfect choice for those who want a unique and striking piece that feels both contemporary and timeless.

• Yellow Sapphires: Luminous and full of life, yellow sapphires radiate warmth and happiness. They can range from a light, lemony yellow to a deep golden hue, providing a cheerful alternative to yellow diamonds.

• Violet Sapphires: These rare and captivating stones shimmer with a regal beauty. They are a symbol of wisdom and spiritual insight, offering a depth of colour that is truly mesmerising.

Exploring Unexpected Hues

Our love for vibrant gemstones extends beyond sapphires. We work with a variety of other stones that bring a unique "colour pop" to our designs, creating a beautiful contrast and a distinctive look.

• Vibrant Tsavorites: A member of the garnet family, tsavorites are an emerald-green stone that is both brilliant and durable. They bring a fresh, zesty energy to a piece and look incredible when paired with cooler metals like white gold.

• Rich Rubies: As sapphires' sister stone (both are a type of corundum), rubies are known for their intense red colour. We love pairing them with contrasting tones, like black diamonds, to create a dramatic and sophisticated look.

At Nude Jewellery, every gemstone we select is chosen for its exceptional colour and character. We believe that your jewellery should be a vibrant expression of your individuality, and there is a whole spectrum of colour waiting to be discovered.
