Deborah founded SAPHAU from a simple belief: "When we observe a color deeply, we see not just a shade, but a story—one that can connect us to the world and ourselves." She leads this space with a focus on authenticity, contemplation, and shared discovery.
My connection with sapphire blue began unexpectedly during a quiet morning hike years ago. Standing at the edge of a high-altitude lake in the Rockies, I was struck by how the water shifted from slate to a vivid, almost luminous sapphire as the sun rose. In that moment, I felt a deep sense of stillness—the kind that quietens mental noise and brings focus.
Since then, I’ve made it a personal practice to seek out and document sapphire blues in everyday life. It’s never about acquisition, but attention:
This practice has slowly reshaped how I experience presence. Sapphire, for me, has become a visual anchor—a reminder to pause, look closer, and appreciate the depth in a single moment. Through this blog, I hope to share not just facts or images, but that same feeling of quiet wonder I felt by the lake. If our stories help you notice a spark of blue in your day, or bring a moment of calm, then this project has found its purpose.
Thank you for being here. Feel free to explore more stories in our archives.
