Harrington’s Australian Gemstones is a successful family owned and operated gem-cutting, gem merchant and jewellery designing business, established in 1992 at The Leap, North Queensland, AUSTRALIA.
Producing and selling larger size, precision cut, Australian Sapphires of high quality, skilfully cut by experienced lapidary (gem-cutter), Peter Harrington.
Peter began cutting Central Queensland Sapphires in 1984 for sapphire miners and fossickers, when machine mining operation in Australia were supplying approximately 85 % of the world market in rough, dark blue Sapphire.
Whilst most of the rough material mined from Australia was purchased by Thai buyers and ended up in gem cutting factories in Bangkok to be processed cheaply there for worldwide distribution, the larger, highest quality material was often cut by skilled, precision gem-cutters here in Australia.
