Recyclable packaging

Ethical sourcing

Most of my sapphires are sourced directly from lapidary artists local to the mining region. One of my favourite regions for natural, untreated sapphires is Luc Yen in Vietnam. Other stones are sourced through Canadian gemmologists.

Precious metals are sourced and alloyed by my local caster.
