What the GIA report means

GIA is an independent, non-profit gemological laboratory. This Sapphire Origin Report confirms the stone is natural sapphire, gives GIA's expert opinion on its geographic origin (Thailand), and records its weight, measurements and treatment (heated). The report number is laser-inscribed on the stone, so it can always be matched to its report. You can check the number yourself on GIA's Report Check website.

A gemstone for him: the men's signet ring

At Roho Jewels, we believe men deserve beautiful gemstones too. A natural GIA-certified royal blue sapphire set into a signet ring is a bold, personal alternative to a plain metal signet: one-of-a-kind, full of character, and a ring he'll wear for decades and one day pass down.

• Signet face: at 7.95 × 5.96 mm, this stone suits a signet face of about 11–14 mm, a classic small signet or pinky ring
• Setting: flush (gypsy), bezel or half-bezel keeps it low and smooth, with no claws to catch on sleeves or gloves
• Depth: the stone is 4.03 mm deep, so ask your jeweler for a signet head at least 5 mm deep
• Metal: rich in yellow gold, sharp in white gold or platinum, rugged in oxidised sterling silver
• Wear: Mohs 9, second only to diamond, so it is tough enough for a ring worn every day
• Perfect for: everyday wear, a wedding day, a graduation, a milestone birthday, or simply a signet he chooses for himself
