OUR BUYING PROCESS: HOW WE BRING YOU THE BEST GEMSTONE DEALS

Ever wondered how we always manage to get you the best deals on our high-quality gemstone jewellery?

Due to our industry contacts, our prices rival those on the high street – and it’s all to do with our unique buying process.

Once we’ve chosen the exact gemstones we want, we price them based on a number of factors including quality, carat weight, saturation and tone. This makes sure that every single gemstone we buy is priced accurately and fairly – but this isn’t the only step in the process!

For a full breakdown of how we buy, grade and design our gemstone jewellery, read our blog on gemstone sourcing:

EMERALD

Emerald

Their vibrant green hue makes them widely recognised, and they’re one of the most precious stones on the planet. So, it’s no secret as to why Emeralds are a worldwide favourite!

May babies are extremely lucky to have Emerald as their birthstone – they're striking, strong and effortlessly stylish. We have a huge variety of Emeralds available on our website, whether they be from South America, Africa or South East Asia.

Very few gemstones compare to Emerald – so it’d be a shame to not have one in your collection!

“An Emerald shines even if its worth is not spoken of.” - Marcus Aurelius
