Sapphires

Sapphire comes in many different colors and qualities. For Lea Hoyer, it has been important to select the right sapphires that last generation after generation. To work with one of the purest materials within the stones, Lea has chosen to work with untreated sapphire. Untreated sapphire has the most beautiful glow and is each unique in their expression. This also means that the individual sapphire varies in expression. An expression that is appreciated and carefully selected at Lea Hoyer Jewellery. All sapphires are unique and therefore they will varies in color on all styles. The sapphires in Lea Hoyer jewelry are carefully selected and should be appreciated exactly as they are - all different. The reason why all the sapphires are different is because the sapphires are untreated and created by nature. At Lea Hoyer we love working with such natural materials and the fact that nothing is the same.
