Sapphire
Ceylon and beyond.
Corundum in every colour it comes in — the classic blues of Sri Lanka, and the yellows, pinks, padparadschas and fancies alongside them. Heat status is stated on every stone.
See stonesSpinel
The connoisseur's stone.
For two centuries mistaken for ruby, and still under-priced against it. Almost always untreated, exceptionally bright, and increasingly hard to find in size.
See stonesAlexandrite & Chrysoberyl
Colour change and cat's eye.
Alexandrite that reads green by day and raspberry by candlelight, and the chrysoberyl cabochons that give the sharpest eyes.
See stonesGarnet
Far more than one stone.
A family, not a colour — demantoid with its horsetails, tsavorite, mandarin spessartine, rhodolite and the colour-change material from East Africa.
See stonesZircon
Fire, badly misunderstood.
A natural stone with dispersion approaching diamond, and no relation whatever to cubic zirconia. Blue, honey, white and the untreated earth tones.
See stonesRare & Unusual
The collector's cabinet.
Taaffeite and the other stones that exist in single-figure counts in most dealers' stock, alongside the good tourmaline, beryl and phenomenal material that comes through.
See stonesLooking for something specific
Most of what passes through here is bought to order.
Every stone here is one stone — when it sells it’s gone, and what you’re after may not be in stock today. Standing briefs are how that is usually solved, and taking them is the next thing to switch on.
The standing brief is not open yet.
There is no contact address on the site yet either. Rather than take a message nobody can read, we would rather tell you that now — which is also, we think, the more useful thing to know about a shop.
How this works
Treatment disclosure
Every listing states its treatment, including when the honest answer is that a stone has not been tested.
Learn moreCertification
Reports from GIA, SSEF, Gübelin, GRS and Lotus, and one arranged on request. Where there is no report, we say so.
Learn moreRough & parcels
Uncut crystals and working lots, sold as-is, photographed wet and dry, with no yield promised.
Learn moreOne dealer, one eye
Not a marketplace. Every stone here was chosen, bought and described by the same person — so the standard doesn't move between listings.
