Teal sapphires continue gaining popularity and have become one of New Zealand and Australia's most popular sapphire colours.

Teal sapphires are a subtle blend of blue and green hues. The balance of colours can vary greatly; some sapphires lean more towards blue, while others are predominantly green. This remarkable colour combination is due to trace amounts of iron and titanium within the crystalline structure, which absorb light differently to create the signature teal effect.
Originating primarily from Australia, Montana, and Madagascar, these sapphires are eye-catching and durable, an excellent choice for everyday jewellery. Another appealing factor is that they are often unheated, maintaining their natural colour straight from Earth, a rare quality in the sapphire world, where 95% to 98% of gem quality sapphires under heat treatment to enhanace their colour.
The rising popularity of teal sapphires, especially within New Zealand and Australia, can be attributed to their earthy colour pallete. As millenials and generation Z move away from traditional blue sapphires and diamonds, they're drawn to teal's modern, down-to-earth appeal.
Additionally, teal sapphires pair beautifully with various gold tones. Yellow gold brings out their warmth, rose gold enhances the green undertones, and white gold or platinum creates a striking contrast, highlighting the gem's brilliance. Whether as a centre stone for an engagement ring or an accent gem in a custom jewellery piece, a teal sapphire offers a fresh and unexpected twist on classic jewellery designs.
