Unique History
We are a family that has dedicated our lives to the world of gemstones and fine jewellery. With generations of experience as gemmologists and miners, our passion for discovering Earth’s most precious treasures has been passed down through time. From unearthing natural gemstones to crafting them into exquisite jewellery pieces, we bring our expertise and deep understanding of each gem to every piece we create
Even though our family has been wholesaling gemstones for over four generations and showcasing at international events like Tucson, Hong Kong, and Bogotá, we decided to take our passion further in 2016 by opening our own retail store in Perth. That same year, Luis, our dedicated gemmologist, received his FGAA Gemologist certification in Western Australia, marking a significant milestone for our business.
Unique Gemstones
We buy stones, not stock lists. Four generations of dealing means we buy closer to origin than most Australian retailers, and it means we know what we are looking at when a parcel arrives.
Colombian emeralds from the Muzo, Chivor and Coscuez districts are where our family started. Beyond emerald we carry sapphire in every colour, ruby, alexandrite and the rarer material most jewellers never handle — padparadscha, parti sapphire, tsavorite garnet.
Every stone is assessed and certified by our in-house gemmologist before it reaches the showroom. We state the origin. We state the treatment — whether a sapphire has been heated, how much oil an emerald has taken — because the price should reflect it and because you are entitled to know.
We do not sell synthetic or lab-created material, and we do not describe treated stones as untreated.
Unique Custom Jewellery Process
Whether you’re looking for an engagement ring, a dress ring, or any piece of jewellery, our process is simple and personalised. Once you're in our store, we’ll begin by discussing your preferences for gemstones and materials. Based on your input, we will present a selection of gemstones that match your requirements, using displays to help you visualise the stones and materials together.
Once you've chosen your gemstones and materials, we’ll create a 2D or 3D design, allowing you to visualise your custom piece before it’s brought to life. This collaborative process ensures your design is exactly as you envisioned, with the perfect balance of style and craftsmanship
Unique Testimonials
I wanted an untraditional engagement ring - it had to be a coloured gemstone and the potential for it to be part of ring stack. Thankfully we met Luis and we were able to design a ring with the chosen shield cut cornflower blue sapphire.We then came back to design a wedding ring to sit under the engagement ring and one to crown it.I could not have been happier with the final designs which he communicated well every step of the way ensuring we were satisfied before the rings were made. Luis knows and understands unique designs to give you professional recommendations.Thank you for the personable service.
