For this Moyo Magic design challenge, we tasked seven insanely talented indie jewelry designers to create epic, one-of-a-kind rings to showcase their hand-picked Moyo sapphire.

We consulted with trusted Gem Dealer Experts from all over the world to get the full picture on sourcing ethical sapphires from every origin: Australia, Montana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. If ethical sourcing is important to you, we're here with the full, unfiltered truth (as always) on sourcing sapphires so you can make decisions that are most aligned for you. 

A magical parcel of glistening sapphires has arrived on the Gem Breakfast site – tantalizing teals, magical multi-coloreds, stunning step cuts, delicious deep blues, and enviable emerald greens in every shape and size under the sun! All sourced from our favorite alternative gemstone dealer, Misfit Diamonds. Gem Breakfast is now the place to buy loose sapphires.
