Coloured gemstones
Sourced at the source
I buy every stone myself – in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Colombo, occasionally at the mine. Untreated where nature allows, always with an independent certificate, always with a story that can be told.
Filmed at the atelier, unretouched
Ruby
Burma and Mozambique. The most valuable coloured stone in the world.
Sapphire
Royal blue from Ceylon and Madagascar, Padparadscha for connoisseurs.
Emerald
Colombia and Zambia. The rarest green in nature.
Paraiba
Neon blue even in the shade. The rarest coloured stone of all.
Spinel
Mahenge, Tanzania. The insider's stone, untreated by nature.
Imperial Topaz
Ouro Preto, Brazil. Brazil's best kept secret, in sherry and peach.
Stones as an investment
Fine coloured gemstones have outperformed gold over the past two decades – quietly, without headlines. What matters is not the carat, but the combination: origin, no treatment, vivid colour, and a certificate from SSEF, Gübelin or GRS. Two visually similar stones can differ in value by a factor of ten.
I build gemstone portfolios for collectors: single important stones or a structured position across ruby, sapphire, emerald and Paraiba. Personal advice, documented provenance, secure custody if wanted.
