Certification & Trust
Is the stone real and as-graded? And will you actually receive it? Everything here exists to answer one or the other — in writing, and open to your own checking.
Certification
Each candidate is presented with the independent laboratory documentation available for that stone. When a candidate includes a GIA report, its number can be checked on GIA’s official website. This reference does not imply affiliation. Verify a report at GIA.edu →
Independent verification is the point of certification. If a seller discourages it, walk away.
Natural colour of origin
With fancy colour, the stated origin of colour is a material part of the laboratory documentation. No characteristic is implied beyond what the candidate’s report actually states.
Provenance & sanctions
Available origin and provenance documentation is reviewed for each candidate. This website does not imply a specific origin, sanctions status or chain of custody for any stone.
Payment
Payment terms are agreed in writing for each acquisition. No particular payment intermediary or arrangement is represented on this website.
Delivery
Delivery method, responsibility, documentation and any applicable protection are set out in the written terms for the specific acquisition.
Viewing
The available viewing method is confirmed with each candidate before commitment. Nothing on this website represents current inventory.
We source and advise on quality and provenance; we do not provide investment advice, and past market performance is never a guarantee of future value.
