Gemstones are the product of millions of years of natural alchemy, shaped by the forces of the Earth. Each deposit produces unique gems, sought after for their color, clarity, and brilliance.
Sri Lankan sapphire , prized for its deep blue and crystalline brilliance, is among the most sought-after by connoisseurs. Burmese ruby , a flamboyant and pure red, is an absolute reference in fine jewelry. Colombian emerald , an intense and luminous green, is the stone of sovereigns and collectors. Mozambique garnet , with its deep hues, and Brazilian and Madagascar tourmalines , with their shimmering reflections, complete this exceptional selection.
Each precious stone in our collection is rigorously selected for its gemological qualities and its prestigious and ethical provenance, in order to offer you creations that are as sublime as they are responsible.
The journey of our precious stones
Step 1: Extracting the stone
From Earth to Brilliance: Precious and Ethical Extraction
Gemstones are born from the depths of the Earth, shaped by millennia of pressure and mineralization.
Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, Paraiba tourmalines… each gem has a unique composition that defines its color, brilliance and rarity.
Our stones are carefully selected from partners who respect ethical and responsible practices, guaranteeing extraction that respects people and the environment. This approach is part of a process of transparency and sustainability, essential for any gemology enthusiast.

Step 2: Selection and cutting of stones
The art of lapidary: enhancing gems with French expertise
Once extracted, the rough stones pass into the expert hands of our French lapidary , whose work is inspired by traditional methods. Each gem is studied with precision to maximize its brilliance, while respecting its natural integrity.
Far from the standardized cuts of the industry, our artisanal approach allows us to reveal all the beauty of the stone according to its own characteristics. Certain facets require meticulous adjustments to optimize the reflection of light and give the gem an incomparable presence. A perfect cut reveals the soul of the stone, whether it is the famous cushion of Ceylon sapphires or the legendary emerald cut .
Step 3: The stone in its final form
An exceptional gem, ready to last for centuries
After cutting, the stone takes its final shape, but this is where its true character is revealed. Its carat weight, a fundamental criterion, can vary considerably and influence its value. A 2-carat emerald will not necessarily have the same importance as a sapphire of the same weight, because rarity and density differ between gems.
Valuation isn't based solely on weight. Color, intensity, and clarity play just as crucial roles. Some gemologists follow strict criteria, such as those detailed by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) , but an expert's eye is often the best judge of a stone's true value.

Step 4: Creating the jewel
A unique piece of jewelry, shaped around your stone
Every stone deserves a setting that fits its size. Once selected and cut, it can be mounted on a custom-designed piece of jewelry , according to your desires and style. Our artisan jewelers work with noble materials – 18-carat gold, platinum, solid silver – to create unique pieces, where elegance meets authenticity.
We support you in the creation of your timeless engagement ring , a custom-made pendant, a collector's piece or a daring creation , putting our expertise at your service.

Excellent quality and as described. ❤️
Very pretty little paraiba. It was shipped and delivered very quickly. This is my second order from this store and I am satisfied with the service!
Perfect as my dream stone! This one is exactly the shade I was looking for. I'm so glad to have it in my collection. There was a slight problem with tracking the package, but the seller helped me out. I would definitely find this store again if I needed another star sapphire. Thank you!
It was an extremely rare stone, reminiscent of Benitoite, with a deep indigo color. The shine is exceptional and this looks like a worthy addition to my collection. I really appreciate.
Again, a very helpful and detail oriented seller.
Super friendly and helpful customer service! And good quality pink star sapphire!
