Yellow Sapphire (glass filled), sterling silver and 9ct yellow gold

20mm drop including hoops

A glass-filled yellow sapphire is a natural sapphire that has been treated to improve clarity and colour. Fractures within the stone are filled with a glass-like material, making the gem appear brighter and more transparent. This treatment enhances the visual beauty of the sapphire.

Natalie Salisbury’s jewellery is defined by thoughtful craftsmanship, refined detail, and a deep connection to material. Working with ancient techniques such as reticulation and granulation, she creates textured surfaces that evoke intimacy and timelessness. Her work balances simplicity, delicacy, and beauty while exploring pattern, repetition, and texture. Inspired by people, words and nature, Natalie draws deeply from the richness of Aotearoa — its openness, diversity, and surrounding seas — translating this sense of freedom into every piece she makes.
