Most gemstones we sell are acquired directly from the mining area in various African & Asian countries in rough form and then cut and polished at our own factories in India. This enables us to cut out on the middlemen and pass on the benefits to you. Our prices are therefore 50 to 75% cheaper than those at your local jewellery store. We are based in India, which is the largest gemstone cutting centre in the world, and hence we are constantly in touch with the latest techniques, methods and trends which give us a competitive edge and enable us to provide you with nothing but the best.
