Featured Customer Stories

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah M., Brisbane - Parti Sapphire Engagement Ring

"I wanted something unique for my engagement ring and found RichosRocks' parti sapphires. The team was incredibly patient, walking me through everything about Queensland sapphires. The provenance documentation was amazing - I know exactly which Anakie miner found my stone and when. My ring is absolutely stunning, and I saved over $2,000 compared to retail jewelers. The stone changes color in different light - blue, green, yellow - it's like wearing a piece of Queensland. Couldn't be happier!"

Stone: 1.2ct Parti Sapphire, Anakie | Purchase: Engagement Ring | Date: June 2024

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James T., Melbourne - Unheated Blue Sapphire

"Bought an unheated blue sapphire for my wife's 10th anniversary. The expertise and transparency were outstanding. They explained everything about Queensland sapphires vs Asian sapphires, why unheated stones are special, and arranged GIA certification. The stone arrived exactly as described - the photos and videos matched perfectly. Quality is exceptional, and the price was 50% less than I'd seen at Melbourne jewelers. The provenance story makes it even more special. Will definitely buy again."

Stone: 1.5ct Unheated Blue Sapphire | Purchase: Anniversary Gift | Date: March 2024

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emma L., Sydney - First-Time Gemstone Buyer

"I was nervous about buying gemstones online, but RichosRocks made it so easy. The free consultation was thorough - they answered all my questions without any pressure. The photos matched the actual stone perfectly, and the provenance documentation was detailed. Knowing my parti sapphire came directly from an Anakie mining family adds so much meaning. The stone is absolutely beautiful, and the setting recommendations were spot-on. Highly recommend!"

Stone: 0.8ct Parti Sapphire | Purchase: Pendant | Date: August 2024

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David K., Perth - Collector & Investor

"As a gemstone collector, I appreciate RichosRocks' focus on unheated Australian sapphires. Their knowledge of Queensland geology and mining is unmatched. I've purchased three stones over two years - all exceptional quality, all with complete provenance from Anakie. The direct-from-miner pricing is genuine - I've compared with other sources. They're my go-to for Australian sapphires. The parti sapphires are particularly special - you can't find these anywhere else."

Stones: 3 Sapphires (2 Parti, 1 Unheated Blue) | Purchase: Collection | Date: 2023-2024

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lisa R., Adelaide - Teal Sapphire Engagement Ring

"The teal sapphire I bought for my engagement ring is absolutely perfect. The team helped me understand the difference between Australian and Asian sapphires, explained treatments clearly (mine is heat-treated, which is standard), and provided excellent setting recommendations. The direct-from-miner pricing meant I could afford a larger, better quality stone than I thought possible. The color is stunning - blue-green that changes in different light. Thank you for making my dream ring affordable!"

Stone: 1.3ct Teal Sapphire | Purchase: Engagement Ring | Date: November 2024

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Michael & Rachel, Canberra - Custom Engagement Ring

"We worked with RichosRocks to create a custom engagement ring with an Australian parti sapphire. The process was seamless - they helped us select the perfect stone (watermelon pattern with vivid colors), recommended a jeweler, and provided all the documentation. The provenance story is incredible - our stone came from a third-generation Anakie mining family. The ring is absolutely stunning, and knowing it's ethically sourced from Queensland makes it even more special. Worth every penny!"

Stone: 1.8ct Parti Sapphire | Purchase: Custom Engagement Ring | Date: February 2024

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jennifer W., Gold Coast - Mother's Day Gift

"Bought a beautiful parti sapphire pendant for my mother's 60th birthday. The team helped me choose a stone with her favorite colors (blue and green). The gift presentation was lovely - beautiful packaging, certificate of authenticity, and a card explaining the Anakie provenance. My mother was thrilled! She loves that it's from Queensland and has a real story. The quality is exceptional for the price. Will definitely shop here again."

Stone: 0.6ct Parti Sapphire Pendant | Purchase: Gift | Date: May 2024

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tom H., Newcastle - Investment Purchase

"Purchased an unheated parti sapphire as an investment piece. The transparency and documentation were exactly what I needed - GIA certification with origin determination, complete provenance from the Anakie miner, treatment disclosure. The stone is museum-quality with vivid color zones. The team's expertise in investment-grade gemstones is evident. Fair pricing, excellent communication, and a truly unique stone. Very satisfied with this purchase."

Stone: 2.5ct Unheated Parti Sapphire | Purchase: Investment | Date: September 2024
