The book
Saffre is the old name for the cobalt that turned glass blue. We named the business after a colour because colour is all we deal in.
Every stone is chosen on its own, under a loupe and in daylight, and then given the plainest setting that will hold it. The metal is there to carry the colour, never to compete with it.
Our book runs round the wheel: blues and sea greens, violets and pinks, reds, oranges and yellows, and back to green. Where a stone is treated, we say so.
Questions
01Can I order from this page?
No. Saffre is a sample store, made to show a coloured-stone dealer on the Loupe template. The prices are sample prices for the setting in its own metal; nothing here can be ordered.
02Are the stones treated?
Many coloured stones are, and that is normal: sapphires are often heated, emeralds oiled. Where we know a stone is treated, its page says so.
03Can I choose a different stone for a setting?
Yes. Tell us the colour you are after and we'll send pictures of what we have, in daylight, before anything is set.
04How should I look after a soft stone?
Opal, larimar, kunzite and rhodochrosite are softer or fade in strong sun. Keep them away from knocks, steam and ultrasonic cleaners, and wear them in the evening.
Write with the colour you're looking for. We answer within two working days, with pictures.
