About us
It took a few years to get right to the source.
One of the first trips to Coscuez (mining area, 2001)
We spent many years building mutual trust. We are now where we wanted to be twenty years ago. In a place of equal partners.
Loving raw Colombian emeralds with our partner in Bogotá (2007)
We are in direct contact with the owners of the emerald mines.
La Pita mine
We had to prove our passion for emeralds to them a thousand times. We’ve been digging in the bowels of the Cordilleras. We learned to tell the good emeralds from the bad. We fell in love with all the natural anomalies that go with emeralds.

We have come to appreciate the ordinary people who work with emeralds.
A dealer in low-quality rough emeralds at the famous Chacaro site
Our activity does not end with the sale. We are interested in what happens to the stones afterwards, what jeweller is involved, who wears them, how the chosen stone is liked or who wants it as an investment.

With us, you will fall in passion for emeralds and know their value.
