**Please note that when purchasing a stone, we do not send just the stone itself. In purchasing a Mine Stone, you are reserving that stone in order to work with one of our custom designers to build the perfect ring for your stone!
Welcome to the “Staghead Mine”! The mine is home to our hand-selected collection of ethically sourced, extremely unique and rare gemstones. These stones were curated because they cannot be found anywhere else and possess outstanding qualities that deserve to be highlighted by truly custom rings!
Start With Your Stone!
Purchasing a one-of-a-kind stone from the mine will reserve that stone, allowing you to design the ring of your dreams around a once-in-a-lifetime stone and create a truly meaningful symbol of your love!
Shortly after purchasing, you will be emailed by one of our custom ring designers to get started on the design of your dream ring. Once you have finalized your design, please note that custom commissioned rings always have the possibility of taking longer than our standard 8 week lead time as designing a new ring takes time and extra care to ensure we can make the ring you have envisioned come to life.
"Twyla" - 2.54ct (8.75x6.82x4.96mm) Fancy Purple Pink Color Change Oval Brilliant Cut Sapphire
Unheated Sapphires like this, with this level of amazing color and clarity, don't come around often! We especially felt like this stone fit our Staghead Mine family for its unique cut, color, and characteristics! The color of the sapphire is a captivating blend of purple and pink, creating a harmonious and enchanting appearance. The gemstone's hues transition between soft lavender and delicate rose tones, creating a stunning interplay of colors. The intensity and saturation of the colors are high, giving the sapphire a vivid and lively presence.
Sapphires from Sri Lanka are renowned for their exceptional quality, and the island is known for producing some of the most beautiful and sought-after gemstones in the world. The combination of the unique fancy cut and the captivating purple-pink coloration makes this sapphire a truly special and desirable gem.
This sapphire has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs’ scale. The Mohs’ Scale is a system used to grade the hardness of minerals ranging from 1-10. For reference, diamonds are rated 10 on the Mohs’ scale, as they are the hardest mineral and can only be scratched by other diamonds. Talc has a rating on 1 on the Mohs’ Scale and can be easily scratched and crushed.
This stone is photographed in professional studio lighting that mimics natural sunlight of 5500 degrees kelvin and videoed outdoors in natural sunlight.
For care and cleaning, we strongly recommend using soapy water and a soft brush as the most trustworthy way to clean your jewelry and avoid Ultrasonic and Steam cleaners. We also suggest avoiding extreme heat as it has the potential to harm the color variation of your stone. To be safe, remove your jewelry while enjoying a soak in the hot tub or steam in the sauna! You will also want to avoid strong household chemicals and cleaners such as bleach.
