Jewellery

A most desirable feature

Sapphire belongs to the corundum aluminum oxide mineral group. In its purest form, corundum is colourless, however the majority of these gems  contain chemical impurities known as trace elements.

These ‘impurities’ are highly desirable and without them sapphires would lack such an incredible and diverse range of colours. Green sapphires are created specifically from the presence of iron trace elements.

Our ‘do good’ philosophy

Metal Urges founder and master craftsman Chris Hood goes to extreme lengths to  personally source  and hand select every green sapphire in our range. Chris travels to all the corners of the world to find stones that are not only perfect for our clients but are mined from ethical sources.
