A Celebration of Sapphires
September is the month of sapphire, and this year we had so much interest in our Sapphire Evening that we held not one, but two events!
Guests joined us on either Wednesday evening and Friday Morning for an event dedicated to the beauty, colour and character of this fascinating gemstone.
At the heart of the each event was an exclusive showcase of 16 hand-picked sapphire gemstones, each selected for its own unique beauty and character.
While sapphire is perhaps best known for its classic deep blue, we explored the incredible variety of colours sapphires can offer, from soft pinks and peaches to greens, yellows and beautiful pastel blues.
Our expert designer Abi shared her extensive knowledge throughout the evening, helping guests discover more about what makes sapphires so special, how to appreciate their individual qualities and the many things to consider when choosing one.
To share her knowledge even more, Abi has created a sapphire advice page which can be found here:

Fridays EVENT
It was wonderful to share our passion for this much-loved gemstone with so many sapphire enthusiasts, with plenty of colour, sparkle and inspiration along the way.
At both events, we of course played the classic game of guessing the prices of the stones. with the most expensive being…
The most expensive Sapphire was this cushion cut 3.7ct teal stone for £13,500!
Thank you to everyone who joined us - we hope you left with a newfound appreciation for sapphire!
Events like this are such a special part of what we do at Petra Jewellery.
We believe jewellery is about so much more than the finished pieces, it’s about the stories, the knowledge, the memories and the experiences we share along the way.
Don't worry if you didn’t manage to make it to this gemstone evening, you can still come and view a selection of hand picked stones at a 1-1 gemstone viewing experience:
