This listing is for a one of a kind loose gemstone (as pictured). We now offer this curated selection from our gemstone collection to be paired with a selection of our organic settings (available separately—settings cannot be purchased by themselves). Please note that this is unlike purchasing from a mass-produced store...Every piece is hand-carved just for your gemstone. You may purchase this gem by itself (without a ring/setting), however, we do not sell our settings as they're truly works of art built around a gemstone.
Design/setting: After adding this gemstone to cart, please select a setting from the Create your own section. This listing is priced as the loose gemstone only. By purchasing this gemstone, you acknowledge you are not going to receive a finished ring unless adding a ring setting to your cart, also.

- A note about "opalescent" sapphires (these sapphires contain fine silk crystals (the way the sapphire formed in the earth) but still retain beautiful transparency. One could say these rarer sapphires we offer have opal-like properties while still being strong and having high transparency (sapphire is way stronger than opal as it is a 9 on mohs scale hardness). This stone has been selected for its exceptional color, transparency, and opalescence.
