Behold this resplendent treasure from the depths of the earth—a magnificent yellow sapphire, unearthed from the legendary Garba Tulla mines, the north eastern Region of Kenya.
In 2024, when the rough first touched my hands, it whispered its destiny.

But beyond that fleeting note of indigo, the gem revealed its true soul: a resplendent blaze of Canary yellow, incandescent as bottled sunlight.
By February 2025, under the deft artistry of a master lapidary, the vision was realized. With deliberate intent, the blue was relinquished, allowing only the golden essence to remain—sculpted, refined, and reborn as a trillion cut, the most audacious of cuts, famed for igniting a fire that dances with near celestial brilliance.
