Product Insights
Bleue Burnham's Sapphire Pendant Necklace (CAD 995) is a handcrafted piece using self-taught lost-wax casting and stone-setting to create an organic, biophilic flower design that reflects the founder's philosophy that nature is life's meaning. It is made from hallmarked recycled 925 silver and lab-grown sapphires sourced directly from a Thai factory for traceability, with the deep blue hue resulting from added iron and titanium. The brand, led by a former Head of Sustainability at Oliver Spencer, became the first jewellery designer to win the BFC/GQ Designer Fashion Fund and pledges 10% of end-of-year profits to conservation projects via the Natural Community Trust, alongside using renewables and biodegradable packaging. While the lab-grown sapphires offer Mohs 9 hardness, the non-locking snap clasp and delicate chain are prone to wear and require careful storage, representing a tradeoff between the pendant's unique ethical and design credentials and its durability for daily wear.
