All American Sapphire®

All American Sapphire®

 

Virtually every sapphire sold in the US has been mined and cut in developing countries where working conditions and environmental regulations are weak, unenforced or nonexistent. But not us—we offer only ethically sourced Montana sapphire for sale.

The new All American Sapphire® represents a road less traveled and was created for discerning customers who value domestic production, ethical mining, superior cutting and transparency.

  • Every All American Sapphire® has been mined, cut and polished in the USA.
  • Every All American Sapphire® has been ethically sourced from eco-friendly mines.
  • Every All American Sapphire® has been cut and polished to produce superior brilliance.
  • Transparency/documentation

Eco-friendly mines

Every All American Sapphire® has been mined in Western Montana (USA) where miners must comply with numerous federal, state, and local regulations. Rules requiring complete and timely reclamation of mine acreage are strictly enforced. These enforced regulations ensure the environmental sustainability of US based Sapphire mining and contrasts sharply with most overseas sapphire production where the well documented failure to remediate abandoned mining sites is commonplace.

USA based Gemstone Cutters

Every All American Sapphire® is preformed, faceted and polished by master gemstone cutters within the USA. Consistent, uniform cutting perfection is what gives meaning and value to the branding of sapphires. The All American Sapphire® guarantees the sapphire has never left the Americas through providing transparancy in the supply chain from mine to market.

 

Documentation

All relevant dimensions and angles of every All American Sapphire® is measured and recorded before it is sold. This provides a customer with a unique id of each stone and documents the commitment to a very high cutting standard. The symmetry of every All American Sapphire® is measured and graded. The symmetry grades are based on the same criteria the GIA has established for the symmetry grading of diamonds.
