2ct Australian Sapphire (2.25ct to be exact), origin Reddestone Creek, Glen Innes northern N.S.W. Australia has commercially produced Sapphire in quantity since the 1950s, from mines in north N.S.W. and Queensland; most Australian Sapphire is a dark blue, due to ferrous content, with a touch of green; indeed, Australian green Sapphire is among the finest Sapphire in that colour produced anywhere in the world. The dark blue Australian Sapphire transformed the world market for this gemstone in the 1960s/1970s, being readily available and relatively inexpensive.
The above 2ct Australian Sapphire (2.25ct to be exact) is in a different category altogether, a fine clean gemstone with deep flashes of blue and just a touch of green shadow under certain lights, from the Reddestone Creek mine, considered the best producer of this best quality Australian Sapphire.
3.9 grams of hand-worked solid 18ct Gold used in the above pendant. The Diamond baguettes are of the highest quality. A little over a full day’s concentrated bench work by a master Sydney jeweller involved in the creation of this pendant.
