“Themed Collections highlight many of our standout stones amongst the thousands already listed on Gembridge.”
What is Gembridge’s Rainbow of Sapphires?
This is the theme and title of Gembridge’s most recent curated Collection of stones for sale on gembridge.com Each Collection is compiled by our gem experts to make finding your perfect gemstone easier.
Many customers are inspired to view stones they may not immediately have considered.
Others have found this particular collection educational, telling us that they had no idea that sapphires come in so many different colours.
They are reassured that the gems in this collection have been personally selected by experts who are global authorities on coloured gemstones.
They have been chosen for their beauty and value – all you need to do is choose the one that’s perfect for you (or for someone special).
Our designers felt that a rainbow represented a fun way to help people explore the world of sapphires and think beyond ‘blue’. Naturally, there are no red ones! There are a few pinks and fiery oranges, though.
