I have been obsessed with Australian sapphires for many years, leading me to create many special pieces with these incredible gems. In my time in the jewellery industry I have also made lots of special connections to the people on the front line of bringing these natural wonders into the world.
Liz and Steve operate Evans Family Fossickers on the central Queensland gemfields. Steve's family has been mining since 1960s after their arrival in Australia.
"It’s the richest sapphire‑bearing ground in the world, and there’s something addictive about pulling a stone from the earth, seeing its potential, and shaping it into something that will outlive all of us."
"Australian sapphires have a depth and honesty that feels unique to this country. No two natural sapphires are ever the same, and that individuality is something we absolutely love."
