Hand Selected White Sapphires
What is a White Sapphire?
White sapphire is a colourless variety of corundum, the same mineral family as the more common blue sapphire. Known for its durability and brilliance, it ranks 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness—just below diamonds—making it an excellent choice for everyday wear.
Unlike diamonds, white sapphires are typically free from the fire and rainbow sparkle of a diamond, but they hold a soft, elegant lustre. They reflect light differently, with a more subtle shimmer that appeals to those who appreciate understated beauty.
At Holts Gems, we use only the highest quality white sapphires, ethically sourced and hand-selected by our in-house gemmologists. Every stone is chosen for its clarity, cut, and brilliance, ensuring your ring is as captivating as your love story.
