The Sapphire x Llewelyn Ash Collection
Handblown Glass.
Crafted with Purpose.
Inspired by the Ocean.
This limited-edition collection is the result of a heartfelt collaboration between The Sapphire Project and acclaimed Australian glass artist Llewelyn Ash. Each piece is individually handblown, capturing the textures, colours, and fluid energy of the ocean.
The collection features two signature forms:
– A sculptural candela, available in Sapphire Blue and Amber Gold, designed to cast a soft, meditative glow.
– A graceful glass dish, available in two sizes and colourways, shaped with gentle undulations inspired by the ocean’s shifting rhythms.
These are vessels of meaning - objects that reflect both beauty and purpose.
With every purchase, you support vital marine conservation through The Sapphire Project and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, helping protect Australia’s fragile ocean ecosystems and the communities who care for them.
A special collaboration between Sapphire and celebrated Australian glass artist Llewelyn Ash.
Each handblown candela is individually crafted with intention and care, The Light of Hope Candela is inspired by the movement, fragility, and beauty of our ocean - a luminous symbol of resilience, a beacon for our oceans, and for the future we are working to protect.
Available in two evocative hues: Sapphire Blue, echoing the depth and vitality of the sea, and Amber Gold, a warm reminder of sunlight on water - these vessels hold more than a flame: they hold purpose.
The proceeds from each piece will support Sapphire’s mission to protect and restore our marine ecosystems.
This collaboration is a meeting of art and purpose - a testament to the role creativity plays in shaping a more sustainable future.
