Our round Australian sapphires have been handpicked by our brand founder, jewellery designer Maria Lizunova, based on their beauty, cut, colour and rarity. Australian sapphires make unforgettable engagement rings, and can be set into your choice of rose, white or yellow gold, or platinum, in your choice of engagement ring design, with or without diamonds. We also have a small selection of Madagascan and Ceylon sapphires, and can custom source a sapphire of a particular colour and cut - email us to enquire. We are a bespoke jeweller and do not sell loose gemstones, but would be happy to set them into a bespoke jewellery piece.
Can I book an appointment to view your sapphires in person?
In-person appointments are available at our Sydney studio and can be booked here. For international and interstate customers, we offer virtual appointments. We offer complimentary Australia-wide and international shipping on all orders over Australian $1,500, and your parcel is insured in transit.
What’s the difference between Australian sapphires and Ceylon (Sri Lankan) sapphires?
Due to the differing geological conditions, each region produces its own distinct colours. Australian sapphires tend to have deeper, darker blue-teal hues, vibrant greens and yellows, while Ceylon sapphires are known for their bright, richly saturated blues, sunny yellows, pinks that range from pastel to magenta, oranges, lilacs and purples.
Do sapphires come in colours other than blue?
Beside blue, which sapphires are traditionally known for, these beautiful gems come in all shades of teal, green, pink, yellow, peach, Padparadscha, grey, brown, orange and purple. They also come in white (colourless) and black, as well as bi colour, or parti - sapphires that display more than one colour.
How do Australian sapphires compare to other global sapphire sources?
Each region imparts its own stamp on the sapphires that it produces, due to the unique geological conditions. Ceylon (Sri Lankan) sapphires are famed for their distinct blues, from deep royal blue, to vivid cornflower blue and all shades of lighter blue, as well as all shades of pink, yellow, orange, purple and more. Madagascan sapphires are famed for their lighter, more translucent teal colours, perfect for lovers of seafoam teal sapphires. Australian sapphires often showcase rich, vibrant greens, teals and parti tones. Their unique colours and traceability make them a favourite for ethical, custom fine jewellery.
Can I design a custom sapphire engagement ring?
Lizunova specialises in bespoke jewellery design, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind sapphire engagement ring tailored to your style and wishes.
Do sapphire engagement rings sparkle like diamonds?
Sapphires have a softer, more subtle sparkle compared to diamonds, offering an elegant shimmer rather than a bright, fiery brilliance.
Do you ship fine jewellery internationally?
Yes, we offer secure worldwide shipping for our fine jewellery collection. Whether you're in Sydney, elsewhere in Australia, or overseas, we ensure your jewellery arrives safely, beautifully packaged, and ready to wear or gift.
How long does it take to make a ring to order?
If you're ordering a bespoke or customised ring, the typical production time is 5 to 7 weeks. This allows us to source your gemstone if necessary, refine your design, and craft your piece with the care and precision it deserves.
What metals are available for your rings?
We offer our rings in 9k, 10k, 14k, and 18k rose, yellow or white gold, as well as platinum. Each metal is selected for its durability, tone, and ability to complement your chosen gemstone.
Are your rings made with natural or lab-created gemstones?
We primarily work with natural gemstones unless otherwise stated. Each stone is individually sourced for its uniqueness and beauty. If you have a specific request for lab-created stones, we’re happy to explore options with you.
Can I customise a gemstone or diamond ring to suit my style?
Yes. All of our designs can be personalised by selecting your preferred gemstone, metal, or setting. We also offer a full bespoke jewellery design service for those looking to create something entirely one-of-a-kind. Whether subtle or bold, your ring can be tailored to reflect your aesthetic.
What’s the best sapphire colour for my skin tone?
Cool skin tones suit blue, green, teal, parti and vibrant yellow sapphires. Warmer tones pair well with all shades of yellow, pink, blue, teal, parti, green or peach hues.
