Mined from deep within the earth, then lovingly hand-faceted into a timeless cushion cut to reveal its exquisite hidden brilliance, let this 2.75ct Peppered Ruby be your moment-defining treasure.
Here at The Sapphire Merchant, we work closely with a seasoned and now retired field gemologist who spent his career travelling to prominent mining areas of the world and volunteering to work alongside the men. It was in Madagascar he obtained this ruby rough, and had it faceted, revealing an unusual peppered inclusion. Known as rutile crystals, they have a metallic lustre compared with the surrounding ruby. Amazingly, this inclusion is very difficult to detect with the unaided eye; it is only under x10 magnification it can be detected.
Whether you are creating the ultimate gift of self-love or a proclamation of devotion, such as an engagement ring, we entwine your nuanced needs with our creativity. Let this rare unheated peppered ruby honor your story, by allowing us the privilege of hand-crafting it into a bespoke, artisan jewellery piece, marking a moment of significance in your life for now and for generations to come

Sapphires of Madagascar
Off the southeastern coast of Africa, the gem-rich island of Madagascar holds rare treasures deep within its earth. Colonised by the French in 1897, the island's potential for precious gemstones was known. However, it wasn't until the rare discovery of blue sapphires of exceptional quality in 1994, far south of the island in the district of Andranondambo, that the world's attention was truly captured. This discovery has significantly impacted the gemstone industry, adding a new chapter to Madagascar's rich gemstone heritage. Subsequently, in 1998, the Ilakaka deposit was unearthed, producing world-class sapphires in a mesmerising array of colours.
