Sapphires

Natural sapphire gemstones are among the most sought-after precious stones in the world. At Folkmarket, this collection brings together loose sapphires, raw sapphire crystals, and sapphire-set jewelry — sourced from verified origins including Kashmir, Sri Lanka, and Africa — for buyers ranging from individual collectors to professional jewelry designers.

What This Collection Covers

This collection is built around one gemstone: sapphire. Every product here is either a natural sapphire in loose or raw form, or a piece of jewelry set with a sapphire. There are no fillers or unrelated stones. The range spans entry-level wearable pieces to high-value calibrated parcel lots for trade buyers.

Price range: $25 to $1,700. The lower end covers handmade sapphire silver rings available in sizes 5 through 11. The upper end covers calibrated 18-carat rainbow sapphire emerald-cut loose gemstone parcels — precision-cut, 5x4mm stones suited for setting in fine jewelry. Mid-range options include sapphire-set earrings in sterling silver.

Product Categories at a Glance

Loose Calibrated Sapphires
The 5x4mm emerald-cut rainbow sapphire parcel (18 carats) is a calibrated lot — meaning all stones are cut to uniform dimensions for direct use in jewelry production. These are natural, multi-color sapphires suited for designers who need consistent sizing across a batch.

Raw Sapphire Jewelry
The handmade raw sapphire antique silver ring uses an uncut, natural sapphire set in an oxidized silver band. Available in US ring sizes 5 to 11. This is a ready-to-wear piece at an accessible price point, suited for buyers who prefer natural, unpolished aesthetics.

Sapphire Fine Jewelry
The pear-shaped red garnet and sapphire silver earrings represent the higher-end jewelry tier in this collection — handcrafted, set in sterling silver, and priced at $385.

Treatment details are disclosed per listing. If you need untreated stones specifically, contact us before ordering.

Can I order the calibrated sapphire parcel in a different size or cut?
The listed parcel is 5x4mm emerald cut, 18 carats total. If you need a different calibration, cut style, or carat weight, contact us with your specifications. We can source or quote custom lots depending on availability.
