SAPPHIRES
|
Sapphires are mined in many locations around the world.
For many years we have dealt with one cutter in Sri Lanka. This
is
an island just off the southern tip of India. (formerly known as
Ceylon). Our supplier has 25 years experience at heat treating
and is known for excellent cutting. In the past all the rough our
cutter worked with came from Sri
Lanka. Due to increased demand and decreased production of rough,
he had
to look elsewhere for material to work with. Our supplier (along
with many other companies) have purchased rough from the new deposits
in Madagascar and other sources. After treatment and cutting we
cannot always distinguish the source. The following is a partial listing of our stones and sapphire jewelry. Feel free to contact us about any special needs you may have. |
