Story of Green Sapphires

Earth-born elegance. Quiet strength. A gem that glows with intention.

Uncommon and utterly captivating, green sapphire is one of the most quietly powerful members of the sapphire family. Its colors range from soft olive and silvery sage to deep forest and Mediterranean teal — hues that speak of nature’s most serene moments, bottled in stone.

Unlike emerald, green sapphire offers the same romantic tone with added resilience, ranking 9 on the Mohs scale, it is second only to diamond in hardness. Green sapphires are primarily sourced from Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Australia, and Nigeria.

Like all sapphires, green sapphire is pleochroic, revealing subtle shifts in tone as the light moves across its surface. This inner depth makes each stone feel almost alive, a quiet pulse of color and clarity. It’s a gem that doesn’t just shimmer - it resonates.

At Raphaëlle Coqblin Jewelry, we love green sapphire for its understated grace. It's a stone of grounded femininity, of contemporary luxury, of women who don’t follow light - they are light.
