From the Earth to Your Finger: Where Do Sapphires Come From?
Let’s travel back to the roots of sapphire. Because when you know where your gem comes from, it’s not just jewelry, it’s a story.
Here are some of the world’s top sapphire sources and what makes them special:
🇱🇰 Sri Lanka (Ceylon)
Famous for vibrant, bright blues with stunning clarity. A favorite for heirloom-quality pieces.
🇮🇳 Kashmir
Ultra-rare and deeply coveted. These sapphires have a soft, velvety blue unlike anything else. Truly collector-level.
🇲🇬 Madagascar
A major source today. Offers a wide colour range from blues to pinks and often more accessible for first-time buyers.
🇦🇺 Australia
Dark, rich blues, often with a touch of green. Bold and rugged, especially popular in men’s rings.
But… Does Origin Really Matter?
Yes and no.
Like coffee or wine, origin can affect the “flavour” of the stone.
But at The Bilal, we always say:
“Choose based on quality, not just the passport.”
We handpick every gemstone regardless of origin based on its natural beauty, durability, and vibe.
And yes, all our stones are natural and can be certified, so you’ll know you’re wearing something real.
