Who are we
Attracted by the search for rare and exceptional precious stones, our team takes real pleasure in studying them with meticulousness and passion. Each gem is carefully scrutinized, revealing its unique characteristics. In parallel with our gemological skills, particular and priority attention is paid to the laboratory equipped with gemmological instruments for the analysis of inclusions, thus making it possible to detect and counteract counterfeits such as synthetic stones, imitations or glued stones. The control and identification of precious stones remains a primary concern, thus guaranteeing the quality of the gems studied.
In this passion that is gemmology, we are very invested in the precise identification of gems and their specific crystal systems. This exploration is like that of a detective, where each stone reveals its unique physical and optical properties. But above all, it is an exploration to contemplate the splendor of these precious gems and their magnificent natural inclusions.
Quality Instruments
Every step of our process is supported by quality tools, carefully selected for their precision and reliability. Whether for the careful identification of gems, the analysis of their unique characteristics or the detection of any alteration, our instruments are designed to provide precise and reliable results. With this complementary technology, we are able to guarantee the quality and authenticity of each gemstone we process, providing our customers with peace of mind in their transactions.
This approach ensures that we have the best-in-class tools to conduct our gemological analyzes with precision and confidence, supporting our commitment to customer satisfaction.
Certified
Additionally, in recognition of our commitment to excellence we also work with internationally renowned laboratories for high value items. This allows us to benefit from third-party validation from these respected institutions, thereby reinforcing our customers' confidence in the quality and authenticity of the exceptional pieces they acquire.
EXAMPLE OF OUR SCIENTIFIC ANALYZES
NATURAL
Here you have a magnificent natural emerald from Zambia (Africa) with inclusions of type: 'solid', of nature: 'mica and/or biotite', with aspect: 'crystal'. A magnificent garden of inclusions that characterizes the authenticity of this beautiful 100% natural Emerald. These inclusions are easily spotted with a 10x magnifying glass, but it is always safer to have it endorsed by a professional gemologist.
SYNTHETIC
Here you have a synthetic emerald (Colombian type), whose manufacturing process is called "Hydrothermal", we recognize it with its synthetic Hydrothermal type inclusions. When selling, synthetic gems created in the laboratory can be sold when it is well declared and quoted "synthetic, created in the laboratory". But unfortunately it is also this type of gem that we can find in the counterfeiting of the gem trade if it is not declared "synthetic" but "natural" in order to mislead the buyer.
NATURAL AND AUTHENTIC STONES
Each gem present in our collection is systematically controlled and rigorously evaluated in the laboratory before putting them on sale, thus guaranteeing that all the gems available are of natural origin. However, if a natural precious stone has undergone a treatment to improve its color, this information will be clearly and visibly mentioned. Our commitment to transparency means our customers can buy with confidence.
Precious Jewelry And Jewelry Pieces
Our jewelry pieces are carefully selected from artisans around the world. Each piece is chosen for its exceptional uniqueness. Each object is a rare piece made with attention to detail and artisanal know-how. Our customers therefore have the assurance of owning unique pieces that reflect their refined taste and individual style.
JEWELRY IDENTIFICATION
Each piece is hallmarked to guarantee its quality and origin, providing customers with additional assurance of the authenticity of their purchase. In addition, all jewelry strictly complies with applicable customs authorizations and regulations, ensuring a worry-free shopping experience for our customers.
Natural Arabic Scriptures Inside These Gems
As a gemologist and gemstone finder, in the most common parlance of this profession, I am often described as “a gemstone hunter” searching for and identifying gems throughout the world.
However, my quest is somewhat different from that of my colleagues, because among all the precious stones that I am looking for, my interest is mainly focused on a type of stone that is extremely rare and difficult to find. These stones stand out exceptionally from the rest, challenging the conventional physical and optical properties of gemology.
The first discoveries of these extraordinary gems, which I aspire to present to the world, mark the beginning of a series of equally astonishing finds. Each of these gems is a pure marvel of God, with inclusions that clearly demonstrate divine greatness.
GEMMOLOGY EDUCATION
We are aware that online gemology training courses are very expensive and not accessible to everyone, we aspire, as passionate gemologists, to share this field by offering more affordable online training options in the future . Our goal is to make education accessible to a wider audience, allowing more people to explore and engage with this fascinating science.
