I have a cushion cut 3.50 natural untreated blue sapphire ring in the store, that ring gets so much attention but it also comes with a hefty price tag as it is untreated, and due to the size, intense blue color and the almost rounded cushion shape which is very rare. Most cushion cut sapphires [...]

One of the question I get asked the most for being in the jewelry business is, how much is a 1.00ct, how much is a 2.00ct? Well, it’s hard to say, it’s not like we’re talking about a pair of jeans, all you need to do is to see if you like the style, if [...]

This client is a geologist so he appreciates all types of stones but he is especially fond of color green, so of course he goes for emerald, we have looked into tourmaline together as that’s his second choice but it just can’t compete with emerald.

This line, Lori Bonn’s Bonn Bon charms, is a very popular brand in my shop at Secret Sapphire. It has it’s own bracelet, ring and necklace and when you buy a charm, you can wear it as a bracelet, a ring or a necklace! However, the necklace is a little longer and is best as [...]
