Real sapphire in a classic four-prong setting. A deep denim blue, in sterling silver or 18K gold vermeil, at 4mm or 6mm.
What Sapphire Looks Like at This Price
Worth reading before you buy, and worth saying plainly: we have photographed these honestly rather than flatteringly. What is in the pictures is what arrives.
These are real sapphires — not lab-created, not cubic zirconia. They are also not the clear, vivid, gem-grade stones in a jeweller's window at many times the price. They read as a deep denim blue rather than an electric one, and they are more opaque than transparent. The 6mm is the softer, milkier of the two; the 4mm is brighter and more saturated.
They are glass-filled, a standard and widely used treatment that improves clarity and colour in commercial sapphire. If you want a flawless transparent sapphire, this is not that stone — and nothing at this price is. If you want a real sapphire in a classic setting that looks exactly like these photographs, this is it.
4mm or 6mm?
Beyond the difference in clarity above: the 4mm is small and neat, good for every day and for a second piercing. The 6mm has real presence and suits a gift or an evening. The size guide in the photographs shows the two side by side at the same scale.
Both use the same setting and the same post.

September Birthstone
Sapphire is September's birthstone and one of the four stones traditionally counted as precious, alongside diamond, ruby and emerald. It has been worn as a token of clear thinking and steady judgement for centuries — medieval clergy wore it for exactly that reason. Every pair comes with a card explaining the stone, so it arrives with its meaning already written down.
Wear Them With
September has two birthstones. The other is lapis lazuli — see our Lapis Lazuli Stud Earrings in the same setting, at a little under half the price.
Packaging
Arrives in a small Abiza earring box, with a crystal information card explaining the stone. Add our Gift Box & Card option (£5) on this page if you would like the signature gift box with a gift card.
Care
The glass filling means an ultrasonic cleaner would damage the stone — clean gently with a soft damp cloth only. Take the studs out before swimming or showering, and avoid spraying perfume directly onto them.
