Worthy of Note:
Sapphires are
next to diamonds
on the hardness
scale. They are
especially prized
for their durability,
their bright pure
shades and
distinctive color
change qualities.
We invite you to discover every
tantalizing color of the rainbow, as Yvel
continues its search for the best and
most organic treasures that Mother
Nature has to offer.
In early 2009, YVEL discovered a truly unusual
treasure on the continent of Africa. The Umba
River Valley in Tanzania produces some of the finest
and most distinctive Sapphires known to man.
These all natural Sapphires come in a rainbow
spectrum of flattering colors.
Upon discovering these rare treasures, Yvel was
inspired to create the passionate, sensual and truly
versatile Rainbow Collection. Handmade and set
with 18K gold, diamonds and all-natural cognac
diamonds, these gems are precious, exotic and
captivating.
Sapphires have been written about
for thousands of years. The Sanskrit
“sauriratna” became the Hebrew
“sapphir” (most beautiful of things) and
went through Greek and Latin before
arriving at the modern day English
“sapphire.”
Sapphires are found worldwide,
with high-quality gems coming from
Myanmar (Burma), Australia and
southeast Asia.
Sapphires were first found in the
United States in 1865. An area around
Yogo Gulch, Montana, is known for its
naturally blue, high-clarity sapphires that
t
do not require heat treatment.
Artificial sapphires can be made so well
that an expert is needed to tell natural
from synthetic varieties.
