Our Gemstone Sourcing Service
Over the years we have gathered together a network of stone dealers from around the world that we have developed close relationships with. This enables us to find unusual gemstones to offer our customers - gemstones that are excellent in quality and well priced too.
Our Dealers
We have cultivated relationships with large companies both in the UK and abroad, as well as one-man-bands who travel in, for example, the far east, bringing back interesting gemstones for us to show you.
In the UK our main gemstone supplier is based in London and has a world class reputation. Harriet is in constant contact with them to ensure we see only the best stones and recently we have been working with them to increase the number of ethically mined gemstones available to the mainstream market here in the UK.
We have a very personal relationship with one of Birmingham's leading diamond merchants. This means that we can show you the full range of diamond cuts at exceptional prices.
Recently we are developing relationships with larger gemstone suppliers in other parts of the world - for example we are taking advantage of the weak dollar to buy some stones from the US thereby passing on savings to our customers.
At the other end of the spectrum, John is an interesting dealer - he lives half the time here in the UK and the other half in Thailand which he uses as a base to travel around the far east discovering unusual gemstones that he brings to show to us. Richard, on the other hand, knows the middle east well and makes travels there all the time to find exotic stones to bring to us.
We have a close contact in Sri Lanka who Harriet met whilst visiting the gemstone region of the island. Her lays his hands of the best stones the country has and custom cuts them for us. We know from personal experience the working conditions of these miners and are always keen the recommend Sri Lankan stones for this reason.
The list goes on with specialist dealers who source us sapphires or coloured diamonds or ethically mined gemstones, what ever our customers want we try and find.
You won't find gemstones like we source for sale on the internet
The personal relationships - expert to expert - that we have developed with our suppliers means that we will never show you second rate stones. Buying from us takes the risk out of buying loose stones yourself either abroad or on the internet and you'll find that our prices are just the same.
Our stone stock
We have gathered together a small collection of interesting gemstones - stones that have caught Harriet's eye as being particularly rare, well priced or just plain interesting. We generally use them in our ready to wear collections but if you are open as to your engagement ring's gemstone then we'd be delighted to show them to you. They are really worth a browse!
