Known for their dazzling colour, many people associate sapphires with rich shades of blue and indigo, like the sapphire made famous by Princess Diana’s iconic engagement ring. But did you know that sapphires come in virtually every colour imaginable? From black to orange—or yellow, purple, peach, pink, green and every shade in between—the science behind these precious stones allows the earth to serve them up in a variety of ways.
Beyond that, there are even natural sapphires that contain a multitude of colours throughout the stone.
Bi-colour sapphires (also known as parti coloured sapphires) are gemstones that feature two or more distinct colours within a single sapphire. These gems are always one of a kind due to their organically produced colour.
Bi-colour sapphires are not two differently coloured stones that have been melded together—this is just the way the earth cooked them!
