Green sapphires are often associated with clarity, intuition, and grounding. In crystal lore, they’re thought to bring wisdom, emotional balance, and a deep connection to the natural world. When chosen as part of an engagement ring or bridal jewellery, green sapphires suggest a love that is steady, honest, and true, guided more by heart than by tradition. 

Symbolically, green sapphires offer a fresh start and inner peace, making them an inspired choice for those forging new paths, starting new chapters, or honouring a connection built on authenticity and depth. 

No, green sapphires are incredibly durable and resistant to fading. With a Mohs hardness of 9, they are second only to diamonds in strength, making them ideal for everyday wear. When sourced and cut well (as all our stones are), their colour remains vivid and luminous for generations. 

We only work with high-quality, natural green sapphires, never heat-treated or synthetically enhanced, so the hue you fall in love with is the one you’ll always see in your jewellery. With proper care, your piece will remain as radiant as the day it was made. 

Peridot and green sapphire differ in both composition and character. Peridot is a lighter, lime-toned gem from the olivine family, while green sapphire spans a more varied range of tones, from misty sage to deep forest green, with a much higher hardness rating. 

Where peridot leans toward playful brilliance, green sapphire carries depth and a timeless presence. It’s also more suited to heirloom jewellery and engagement rings, due to its superior durability and rarity, especially when ethically sourced like the pieces in our Black Finch collection. 

No, while both are green gemstones, sapphires and emeralds are entirely different minerals. Green sapphires belong to the corundum family and are much more durable than emeralds, which are part of the beryl group and often contain natural inclusions or fractures. 

In terms of wearability, green sapphires are ideal for rings and daily jewellery thanks to their strength and resistance to damage. They offer a similar lush tone to emeralds, but with far more resilience and a deeper range of earthy colour variation, making them a meaningful and lasting choice.
