Gemstone Of The Week

We are thrilled to offer this dazzling sapphire, part of a collection acquired from an accomplished, retired Kiwi field gemologist. His career was dedicated to volunteering at gem mining sites across Asia and Africa, where he had the unique opportunity to buy gem rough as it was discovered. Over many years, he built a sensational gem collection, each piece hand-selected with a deep knowledge of precious gemstones and what lends to their value and overall beauty. He kept his private collection under lock and key for many years but recently gave The Sapphire Merchant the unprecedented and exciting opportunity to acquire some of his most remarkable pieces.

Treasured Testimonials

We Love Our Ring

"Gemma was extremely helpful in assisting me on my search for the perfect centre piece for an engagement ring. She is very knowledgeable and made the process fun and stress free. The final result wouldn't be what it is without her input. My now fiancé absolutely loves her ring and the stunning Padparadscha Sapphire from Madagascar blew her away."

My Dream Sapphire

"I had a look at the Sapphire Merchant website with a dream, thinking I'll never be able to afford one... but I was super surprised! I found my dream sapphire and it was affordable! Gemma was a dream to deal with and really knows her stuff. It's also great to know that all her gems are sourced ethically."

Beautiful Tsavorite Ring

"When I found a tsavorite on The Sapphire Merchant website I was very interested but nervous. I researched the gem thoroughly and everything matched what The Sapphire Merchant website said so I contacted Gemma to start a conversation. She answered my questions fully, including things I hadn’t thought to ask. Once I decided on a stone, we worked on ring designs together. I have now received my beautiful tsavorite ring. It has been a pleasure working with Gemma throughout the process. I highly recommend her business to anyone."
