Today, may we introduce,

Sapphire

In 2011, Steiff has unearthed its own precious gem, the Sapphire Teddy bear. Sapphire brings together luxurious materials, sophisticated design, and the world of fashion for a bear that's simply unlike any other. Even the Teddy's coat is something extraordinary. It's an exclusive plush woven from 100% silk strands for a sumptuous feel that you'll have to touch to believe. It feels nothing like mohair at all. This silk material has been carefully dyed to a deep blue - just like the rich hues of the most coveted real sapphires. The bear's paw pads are encrusted with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS for a dramatic effect, reflecting secondary tones of purple, light blue, green, and even pink. Around Sapphire's neck, she wears a strand of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS as a choker. In the bear's ear, a stunning Swarovski XILION crystal takes the place of a button as a fabulous finishing touch. Not since the 125-Karat bear has there been a Teddy so dazzling!
