The world of sapphire

Please enjoy the following post about sapphires, written by our fellow Scottsdale employee, Thahir Farook!



Best known for its famous blue hue, sapphires come in 40 different individual colors. The sapphire is second only to diamonds with regards to hardness, coming in at number 9 on the mohs’ hardness scale. This makes the sapphire an ideal setting stone.

Blue sapphire is the most familiar amongst all the sapphires with color tones ranging from the very light sky blue to the most desirable cornflower blue and everything in between. Most people don’t realize that sapphires come in every color in the rainbow. The most rare color is the Padparajah sapphire or what I like to call the King of Sapphires. It is named after the lotus plant because of its very unique blend of pink and orange color tones. Imagine a color of a beautiful sunset and then picture it in a ring. Truly, a gem in its own class.

Sapphires are found in several parts of the world including right here in Montana, USA. Montana mines produce a variety of colored sapphires but the blue/green sapphire is the most common of color tones. Unfortunately, it is hard to find large sizes, as the rough doesn’t yield gem quality material.

The continent of Africa is a hot zone for gems. Some of the most diverse colors, sizes and qualities of sapphire we are seeing in today’s market primarily come from Madagascar, Tanzania and Kenya just to name a few.

One of the most pleasing sights is to see a fine selection of Cabochon Sapphires in vivid colors. They look like gum drops, you just want to eat them up!

I love all colored gemstones but to me sapphires will always be near and dear especially coming from a country that produces sapphires and family that for over generations has always dealt in sapphires.

Is your jewelry insured?

Hello friends.

Are you all enjoying this lovely spring weather? I know that I am. Perfect temperatures and sunny days make selling jewelry even more enjoyable!

Today I would like to talk with you a little bit about a subject with which some of you may be familiar, and some not so familiar. I'd like to share a little bit of information on jewelry insurance.

Here at Studio Vincent we can't formally recommend any particular company or type of insurance, but we can formally tell you how important it is that you do get your jewelry covered under some sort of policy.

There are several different ways to get your jewelry insured, but here are important things to know and ask your agent:

1. Is my jewelry covered under my homeowners or renters insurance or do I need to purchase a separate policy?
-This is an important question to ask. For instance, I have renters insurance, but my policy only covers up to $1,000 for jewelry purchases. My jewelry is worth more than that, so I needed additional coverage.

2. What is my deductible on my policy if my jewelry is lost or stolen?

3. Will I get money for purchase price or replacement value?
-Keep in touch with Studio Vincent and let us know when you would like an updated appraisal. If possible, you should update your appraisal every few years and get a policy that allows you full replacement value.

4. How do I receive payment if I need to file a claim for lost/broken/stolen jewelry?
-This is probably one of the most important things to know. Sometimes insurance companies work with specific jewelers to replace items. Make sure you get a policy that allows you to have a check cut either: a) directly to you or, b) to the jeweler of your choice. Remember that Studio Vincent jewelry needs to be repaired or re-created by us, not a generic jeweler!

Hopefully you and your jewelry will live together happily ever after, but unfortunately things do happen sometimes, and it's important to protect your treasures! Please feel free to ask your Studio Vincent design consultant if you have any additional questions.
