Sapphire mining in Montana is an echo of the original gold rush. Sapphires were not the goal when the river bottom deposits were first discovered, as our prospecting ancestors were only in search of gold.
AT THE SOURCE
Our collection of ecologically sourced Montana sapphires come from small-scale, low impact mines that sort through alluvial deposits which were once the riverbeds of ancient waterways. The sapphires discovered in this region of the world come in a wild array of color - from lush peach to deep teal - and it's exceedingly rare to find any two that are alike. This offers custom wedding ring clients innumerable possibilities in making a truly original piece of jewelry.
LOCALLY CUT
