Your midnight blue sapphire earrings are made to order with ethically sourced lab created gemstones and recycled, US-refined precious metals, expertly hand-set in our rural Oregon studio. Founded in 1996, we are a woman-owned US microbusiness creating quality fine jewelry that stands the test of time.

We also love sending these out as gifts for Mother's Day, Christmas, your partner, or bridesmaids!

A September birthstone, blue sapphires are true blue royal classics

These are the darkest of our blue sapphires, the color of inky blue deep ocean waters or midnight blue skies with just the occasional glimmer of stars or moonlight flickering on the surface. They whisper of hidden depths and a powerful current raging below the surface. Of infinite skies filled with the mysteries of the unknown, dangerous unexplored deserts and those who find comfort in the safety of shadows.

 We offer three "standard" shades of lab created blue sapphire: Denim Cornflower Blue, the lightest, is the color of raw denim and similar to "cornflower blue" sapphires. Royal Navy Blue is the closest to your classic "Princess Di" blue sapphire, with royal blue highlights and navy blue lowlights. Midnight Blue is an inky dark blue that is almost black. We also offer a selection of more limited and oddball blue sapphire options, so check our store!

Pick the perfect jewelry for your unique vibe!

These are quiet, steady, and solid. They show up as dark, not sparkly, and lend themselves to polished, sophisticated professional presentations as well as more goth and dark academia fits. 

What are Lab Created gems?

These are no imitation: they're cut from genuine sapphire crystals grown in a lab to exactly replicate their formation in the depths of the earth. Lab grown gems provide high-quality gems at a lower cost while avoiding conflict and other ethical issues that sometimes accompany mined stones. Lab created gems are not infinitely available in every possible color forever. And sometimes, colors change or stop being available - which is a good reason to collect these affordable gems when you see something you love for sale. Growers do go out of business or discontinue colors.

Solid Platinum, 14k gold, and silver post earrings: 

Solid recycled precious metal secures your gems using traditional master goldsmithing techniques. We never use glues, cheap lightweight settings, or plated metals. Comfortable and wearable for active lifestyles and those who sleep in their earrings. Nickel free with the exception of 14k white gold.

How to choose a stud earring size:

3mm is a tiny stud earring perfect for cartilage and multiple piercings. 4mm is a dainty stud earring that also works well for cartilage piercings. 5mm is a good minimalist everyday stud earring size. 6mm is large, but still casual. 8mm are statement stud earrings with a bold look.

What to know about gemstone jewelry:

Gems (yes, even lab created gems!) are individual pieces of nature's art with minor variations in pattern, color, size, and shape. Gem sizes can vary +/- .2mm. Often, large gems are darker than small ones. I do promise you'll be happy with them, and accept exchanges as well as special requests like "Prefer darker green over lighter" which I will do my best to match within my stock. Some gems are fragile and should not go in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.
