Every finished piece is crafted with meticulous precision and balance, standing as a testament to his ongoing personal pursuit of creating original works of the highest quality.
Now, Hamish unveils his latest work, the Sapphire Series - a stunning collection of one-of-a-kind solitaire rings and loose stones crafted from Australian sapphires. This collection is a tribute to the vivid colours and striking clarity of sapphires sourced directly from artisanal mines in Queensland’s central gem fields. Partnering with photographer Josh Robenstone, Hamish embarked on a field expedition to document the journey of each stone, from its discovery at small-scale family-run mines in Rubyvale to its transformation into a finished work of art.
For Hamish, the true value of a gem is realised when sourcing a stone directly from the hand of its founder. “Sourcing directly from the miners is essential,” Hamish explains. “It ensures not only the quality of the gem but also a connection to the people and places that brought it to life.”
The Sapphire Series celebrates the individuality of each gem, featuring pared-back, classic solitaire designs that highlight the unique beauty of every stone. Offered as finished solitaires, or as loose stones viewable by appointment and finished to suit each stone’s individual character.
Explore the Sapphire Series in person at Hamish Munro’s Collingwood store, located at 38 Cambridge Street, or online at hamishmunro.com and embrace the natural brilliance and history of Australian sapphires.
