Sapphire Circlet
The Sapphire Circlet is a returning piece of jewelry in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and the Heat Resistance it provides can help you endure the insufferable Gerudo Desert heat. Though the Sapphire Circlet will always be found within Gerudo Town, its location varies slightly depending on your Main Story progression. The Sapphire Circlet is an individual Armor that lacks a matching set, and though it can be upgraded, it cannot be dyed.
In this Tears of the Kingdom guide, you'll learn where to purchase the Sapphire Circlet and find details about its stats and bonuses.

Where to Buy the Sapphire Circlet
- Coordinates: -3872, -2961, 0033
During your first visit to Gerudo Town, the Sapphire Circlet can be purchased in the underground Gerudo Shelter for 1,400 Rupees. Unfortunately, you'll need to sneak into the shelter to buy it. To enter the Gerudo Shelter, you have two options.
The first option is to dive into one of the stained glass-covered chutes around town and follow the floating messages in a bottle until you find the rope-tied vase pictured above. Stand on the ledge near the rope-tied vase, then use Ascend to infiltrate the shelter and frighten some locals.

The second method to sneak into the Gerudo Shelter is to explore the western corner of Gerudo Town to find the classroom beside the stairs. Use Ultrahand to move the desk at the front of the classroom, then jump into the revealed hole to infiltrate the shelter. After some dialogue, you can freely explore the shelter and purchase the Sapphire Circlet.

After completing the Main Quest, Riju of Gerudo Town, and getting rid of the sand shroud, the Sapphire Circlet will no longer be sold in the underground bunker and is instead sold at the Gerudo Town jewelry shop, Starlight Memories, for the same price of 1,400 Rupees.
