Jaipur, India, is internationally recognized for emeralds and colored gemstones.

Thailand is a global leader in rubies, sapphires, cutting, treatment, and gemological expertise.

More Than
a Beautiful Stone

We evaluate gemstones based on color, clarity, cut, size, treatment, origin, and overall value—always with consideration for how the stone will be used.

For significant gemstones, laboratory documentation may be recommended to independently verify identification, treatment, and, when appropriate, geographic origin.

We primarily work with GIA and IGI, along with established gemological laboratories in Thailand and India.

Sourcing
with Confidence

International sourcing is built on long-term relationships, transparency, and responsible purchasing.

We work to understand the history and characteristics of the gemstones we offer and clearly communicate relevant information so you can buy with confidence.

For important gemstones, we can help determine when laboratory documentation is appropriate and guide you through the information provided.
