A treasure trove of rare gemstones awaits professional trade buyers at the Fine Gem Pavilion of Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW) 2024.

Glittering in the display windows of Kreis Jewellery GmbH & Co KG’s booth is a stunning 22.37-carat Padparadscha sapphire from Sri Lanka. Also grabbing attention are a 7.79-carat Paraiba tourmaline from Mozambique and a pair of Colombian “Muzo green” emeralds with minor cedar oil weighing a total of 9.52 carats.

A multi-generational family business based in Germany, Kreis Jewellery prides itself on meticulously selecting fine gemstones for their rarity, exquisite quality and potential for value appreciation over time.

Switzerland’s ALine GmbH, which specialises in top-quality coloured gemstones, is displaying fine spinels, unheated rubies and sapphires as well as unusual spessartite and tsavorite garnets. These gems are all characterised by their excellent quality, outstanding cuts and striking colour nuances.

Customers of the coloured gem specialist include prestigious jewellery and watch brands, along with jewellers and collectors in Switzerland and markets worldwide.

“We have direct access to mines and producers, and we nurture partnerships in various countries that enable us to source exceptional rough and polished gemstones, particularly from new finds,” ALine said.

Garaude, meanwhile, is offering a range of extraordinary rubies, sapphires, emeralds and spinels, among others.

The Paris-based company said it ensures the authenticity, traceability and superior quality of its gemstones by sourcing ruby, sapphire and emerald rough directly from trusted mines. All the rough is cut in-house at its atelier in Bangkok, enabling it to maintain full control over the cutting process and bring out the best in each gemstone.

To better serve growing demand, Garaude recently expanded its market presence with a new office in New York.

Abouchar SA likewise specialises in sourcing and cutting high-quality coloured gemstones. Among the Swiss company’s selections at JGW 2024 is a range of mostly unheated sapphires, rubies and emeralds. The third-generation family business is also placing tourmalines, spinels, garnets and chrysoberyl stones in the limelight.
