About Us
We are a UK based business specializing in natural gemstone jewellery, second hand vintage pieces and loose gemstones of all varieties. We supply gemstones and jewellery to all levels of the market: retail shops, bench jewellers and other gemstone dealers. All the way down to collectors, individuals and those just looking for a gemstone for a bespoke piece.
Ethically sourced gemstones
All our gemstones and jewellery are sourced and manufactured with ethical principles in mind. We only use trusted suppliers who operate under strict standards.
Our gemstones are sourced and tested by a graduate gemmologist and fellow of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain. Some are also accompanied by independent gemmological lab reports, most often internationally recognised labs such as GIA or IGI. We are also a member of the National Association of Jewellers (NAJ).
Our stock of fine jewellery is either manufactured here in the UK by fine craftsman using state of the art techniques or purchased second hand from trusted auctioneers and dealers around the globe.
How we photograph our items
For gemstones we take photographs in a gem light-box (using artificial daylight equivalent light) and with some stones additional natural daylight photos (near a large window).
For jewellery we take our photos with a daylight equivalent bulb (to show the true colour and contrast of the metal and stones). We endeavor to take the most 'real life' photos possible. In fact, most of our pieces look even better in person.
Videos can be made on request.
Ordering, payments and stock
We accept payment through Paypal, all major credit/debit cards, bank transfer (including wise) and bitcoin.
