Cushion Cut Paraiba Tourmaline

Purchasing loose gemstones offers superior flexibility and value compared to pre-set jewelry. You can examine the stone’s natural characteristics, clarity, and color saturation without interference from settings, ensuring you’re buying genuine, high-quality specimens. Loose precious stones also allow for custom jewelry creation, where you control both the gemstone selection and design process, often resulting in better cost per carat value.

The value of colored precious stones depends on rarity, origin, natural color intensity, and clarity grade. Pure, untreated specimens from legendary sources like Burma rubies or Kashmir sapphires command premium prices due to their aesthetic appeal and investment potential. GIA certified gemstones provide documented authenticity, helping buyers understand the real market worth of their purchase.

Our natural gemstone collection consists entirely of conflict-free specimens sourced through established networks with documented origins. Each precious stone comes with clear provenance information, ensuring ethical mining practices and responsible sourcing. This commitment to conflict-free sourcing protects both the buyer’s investment and supports sustainable gemstone trade practices.

Precious stones include diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds – the traditional “big four” known for their rarity, durability, and high value. Semi-precious rocks encompass all other natural gemstones like tanzanite, garnet, or amethyst, which can still be quite rare and valuable depending on quality and origin. Both categories offer genuine beauty and investment potential when purchasing high-quality, certified specimens.
