Collection: Teal Sapphire

Teal Sapphire – The Perfect Harmony of Blue and Green

Introduction to Teal Sapphire

Teal Sapphire is a captivating and increasingly sought-after member of the corundum family, admired for its unique blend of deep ocean blues and lush forest greens. As a natural sapphire that straddles the spectrum between blue and green, Teal Sapphire offers a truly one-of-a-kind visual experience — vivid, bold, and unmistakably elegant.

These rare gems have grown in popularity in recent years, especially for engagement rings and bespoke jewellery, due to their striking colour, ethical sourcing, and exceptional durability.

What is a Teal Sapphire?

A Teal Sapphire is a naturally occurring corundum gemstone that exhibits a balance of blue and green tones, often with a hint of grey or a velvety undertone. The name “teal” refers to the rich blend of these hues, resembling the colour of the Teal duck's plumage.

Teal Sapphires are mined in a few select regions around the world, including Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Madagascar, Montana (USA), Nigeria, and Australia. Each origin produces slightly different tones and characteristics, but the signature teal blend remains the key identifier.

What Makes Teal Sapphires Unique?

Teal Sapphires are not just a middle ground between blue and green — they are a distinct colour category within the sapphire family. Their uniqueness lies in the perfect colour fusion:

• Blue Sapphires are prized for their royal or cornflower blues.

• Green Sapphires showcase soft olive, mint, or deep green tones.

• Teal Sapphires, however, offer a dramatic blend of both, often appearing as if lit from within due to their remarkable saturation and clarity.

This dual-tone appeal makes teal sapphires stand out among traditional gemstones, especially when set in yellow, white, or rose gold. Their versatility also means they pair beautifully with both vintage and contemporary jewellery styles.

Teal Sapphire vs Blue & Green Sapphires: Key Differences

Colour Zoning & Bicolour Appeal

Many teal sapphires exhibit natural colour zoning, meaning they show visible transitions or blends of green and blue in different lighting angles. This adds to their mystique and desirability. Some may even display a bicolour effect — making each stone genuinely unique.

Unlike treated stones that are artificially enhanced, natural teal sapphires often require minimal intervention, making them a sustainable and ethical choice for jewellery lovers.

Why Choose a Teal Sapphire?

✔️ Unique Colour Palette – Teal sapphires offer a fresh and modern twist compared to traditional gems. Their ocean-inspired colours evoke calm, depth, and individuality.

✔️ Durability – With a Mohs hardness of 9, just below diamond, sapphires (including teal) are incredibly durable — perfect for everyday wear.

✔️ Ethical & Traceable – Many teal sapphires are mined in locations with high standards for ethical sourcing, such as Montana (USA) and Sri Lanka.

✔️ Affordable Luxury – Compared to high-end Kashmir or Burmese blue sapphires, teal sapphires offer exceptional beauty and uniqueness at a more accessible price point.

✔️ Symbolism – Teal is often associated with clarity, emotional balance, and originality — perfect for meaningful jewellery.

Care and Maintenance

Teal Sapphires are easy to maintain thanks to their durability. To keep your gem looking its best:

• Clean with mild soap and warm water.

• Use a soft toothbrush for gentle scrubbing.

• Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.

• Store separately to prevent scratching softer stones.

Teal Sapphire in Jewellery

Teal sapphires shine in a variety of settings, from minimalist solitaire rings to intricate halo designs and vintage-style pieces. They work beautifully with:

• Yellow Gold – Enhances green tones.

• White Gold / Platinum – Brings out the cooler blue hues.

• Rose Gold – Creates a romantic, soft contrast.

Ideal for engagement rings, pendants, earrings, or bespoke custom pieces — Teal Sapphires offer a bold alternative to traditional choices.
