Care
Warm, soapy water is always a safe choice for cleaning sapphires. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are usually safe for untreated, heat-treated and lattice diffusion–treated stones. Fracture-filled or dyed material should only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
The BEADED Collection
Small gemstones in architectural form strung into intentional geometry within hand-formed precious metal frames. Up close, a detailed and tactile mosaic; across a room, saturated color, impact, and sparkle.
