The calm before the storm

The blue storm is all set to strike the jewellery industry this year under the influence of Classic Blue (PANTONE 19-4052) – the Color of the Year for 2020. Blue is not a common scene in nature besides the night skies; however, it comes as a significant colour in the world of natural gemstones. Sapphire, reminiscent of royalty, sincerity and tranquillity, has been a best-selling species. Before the blue storm comes, let’s savour a moment of calmness by looking back at some of the top sapphires auctioned worldwide in 2019. (Photos from respective auctioneers)
