What we supply

Three forms
of the same thing.

A stone is worth different money and suits a different buyer depending on how far along it is. We deal in all three, and we say honestly which one your job needs.

Our process

Commission the stone.
Then choose your jeweller.

We believe the better culture — for private buyers and distributors alike — is to have gems cut to order by people who do nothing else, and then to have the jewel made by a jeweller you already trust. Every craft has its own art.

01

We find
the material

Reading a rough crystal — where the colour sits, where it is clean, what it will actually yield — is a trade of its own. That is the part we do, and we tell you what we see in a stone before you commit to it.

02

A specialist
cuts it

Tell us the species, the colour, the weight and the shape. It is cut to that brief by a cutter who works that material every day. A cutter who only facets will not carve, and a carver will not calibrate.

03

Your jeweller
sets it

The stone arrives loose and it is yours outright — you know exactly what you paid for it, and no setting is hiding anything. Take it to the goldsmith you trust and have the piece made the way you want it.

Every stage of a gem is a separate craft. We would rather be excellent at one of them than adequate at three.

    Origins

    From classic localities to lesser-known sources, we work with suppliers around the world to find material that is genuinely what it is called. Locality is named on every quote, not the continent.
