Rubyvale Gem Gallery – Discover the Heart of Australian Sapphire Excellence

Step into a true gem lover’s paradise at Rubyvale Gem Gallery, where passion meets expertise in the art of Australian sapphire mining, cutting, and jewellery design. Founded by pioneering sapphire miner Peter Brown in 1988 — whose own first find in 1974 sparked a lifelong devotion — this iconic gallery offers more than just stunning gemstones. It’s a living story of dedication, craftsmanship, and the magic of the Queensland Sapphire Gemfields.

Here, you’ll find exquisite, one-of-a-kind sapphire jewellery handcrafted on-site by expert gem cutters who bring out the vivid brilliance and rich colours unique to Australian sapphires. Unlike mass-produced stones, each gem is meticulously facetted to exacting standards that maximise its natural beauty and sparkle — a process refined over decades.

Visitors can expect a welcoming, authentic experience, whether browsing the beautifully designed collection or commissioning custom pieces to celebrate life’s special moments. The gallery also shares the fascinating journey of each sapphire — from its volcanic origins over 50 million years ago to the hands that shaped it into a treasured jewel.

Beyond the gems, Rubyvale Gem Gallery embodies the spirit of the Sapphire Gemfields community, with a rich history of mining, family, and artistry woven into every display. Stop by to meet Peter, Eileen, and the team, explore rare sapphires, and take home a piece of Australia’s natural treasure.

Why visit Rubyvale Gem Gallery? Because it’s not just jewellery — it’s a story, a legacy, and a sparkling symbol of true craftsmanship.
