Our buying focus
Large stones. Exceptional color. Individual evaluation.
We focus on large, high-quality gemstones, loose or in fine jewelry. These examples reflect our interests; describe your stone so we can discuss whether an evaluation is appropriate.
Colombian emeralds
Large green emeralds with quality, condition and any known treatments considered together.
Burmese rubies
High-quality, substantial rubies, including stones described as originating in Burma, now Myanmar.
Ceylon blue sapphires
Large, high-quality blue sapphires, including Sri Lankan stones traditionally described as Ceylon.
Reports optional
Bring existing certificates and records if available. You can request an evaluation without them.
Bring the complete piece and what you know
Share the known weight or dimensions, condition, setting and any treatment or origin information. Keep estimates and family descriptions distinct from laboratory findings.
Do not remove a mounted stone or arrange aggressive cleaning to prepare the visit. Bring any report, receipt or repair record you already have.
Describe your gemstone
Tell us about its size, appearance and the jewelry it belongs to, if any.
Discuss the evaluation
We consider the actual stone, its quality, condition and supporting information. An origin claim alone does not guarantee an offer.
Review the purchase terms
Confirm which items the offer includes and your preferred payment arrangement before deciding.
Natural diamonds have a separate scope
Any diamond size. Any diamond shape.
We buy natural, cut and polished diamonds of any size or shape, loose or in jewelry. We do not buy laboratory-grown, uncut or rough diamonds.

Gemstone selling questions
Which gemstones do you buy?
We buy only large, high-quality gemstones, including green Colombian emeralds, Burmese rubies and Ceylon blue sapphires. Certificates are welcome but not required.
Do I need a gemstone certificate?
No. A certificate or laboratory report is welcome but is not required to request an evaluation. Bring the stone or complete jewelry and whatever information you already have.
Can color prove a gemstone’s origin?
No. Share the source of an origin description, such as a laboratory report, receipt or family history. The actual stone needs examination; appearance alone does not establish geographic origin.
Does the gemstone size requirement apply to diamonds?
We buy natural, cut and polished diamonds of any size or shape, loose or in jewelry. We do not buy laboratory-grown, uncut or rough diamonds.
How can I receive payment?
Cash, bank wire and business check are available for agreed purchases. Confirm the final amount and payment arrangements before accepting.
