Born from blue

Named after the world's most prized blue.

In the mountains of Badakhshan, the deepest blue on earth has been drawn from the ground for over nine thousand years — the same blue that coloured the mask of Tutankhamun and the robes of the Renaissance. It is the colour we carry in our name.

7000 BCLapis lazuli first mined at Sar-e-Sang — the oldest continuously worked mines on earth.
1323 BCAfghan blue inlaid into the funerary mask of Tutankhamun.
1500sGround into ultramarine — the most expensive pigment of the Renaissance.
TodayThat heritage of craft, colour, and value lives on in every Sapphire brand.

Why it matters to us. A brand, like a gem, is found rough, then cut, polished, and set with care until it catches the light. We bring that same patience and pride to the brands we build.
