Great Barrier Reef, Australia

A Legacy

Discovered on the Tropic of Capricorn nearly 150 years ago, Capricorn Sapphires are sourced just 300 km inland from the Great Barrier Reef.  

This area called the Central Highlands, is renowned for supplying the world with its rare and stunningly beautiful sapphires. In fact, during the 1970’s, 1980’s and early 1990’s, Australia produced over 70% of the world’s sapphires. (Shor and Weldon - Gems and Gemology - Winter 2009)

When you buy a Capricorn Sapphire, you are buying into this Australian legacy.

Every stone is of the highest quality, is ethically and environmentally sourced, and is fully traceable from Capricorn Sapphire to the owner of these magnificent jewels.  This is our commitment to you. 

In fact, many wonderful jewels have been discovered in this part of Australia and have been sold throughout the world. The most famous is the Australian Star Sapphire.
