FAQ
What types of gemstones do you offer?
We offer an extensive selection of high-quality gemstones, including polished and rough varieties such as sapphires, emeralds, rubies, amethysts, tourmalines, tanzanites, and rare collector’s stones like alexandrite and paraiba tourmaline. Our collection includes both natural and lab-grown options, all ethically sourced. Sizes range from 0.5 carats to over 50 carats, with colors and cuts tailored to your preferences.
How are gemstones certified?
Every gemstone comes with a certificate of authenticity from reputable gemological labs such as GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or AGS (American Gem Society). Certificates detail the stone’s carat weight, cut, color, clarity, and origin. Lab-grown stones include documentation verifying their creation process. You’ll receive these documents with your purchase or during your showroom visit.
