SOURCING
Rooted in East Africa.
Working globally.
The House sources primarily through East Africa, while maintaining buying relationships across Asia and other producing regions.
Cutting is conducted in Bangkok. Stones are ultimately presented through the New York showroom.
EAST AFRICA
The trade began here.
The House established its first relationships in East Africa in the early 1970s, beginning with tsavorite.
BANGKOK
Rough from many regions passes through here.
The House's cutting workshop is based in Bangkok, the principal center for the cutting and trade of colored stones.
NEW YORK
The final stage is the quietest.
The selling office and showroom have been based in New York since the 1980s.
Stones are presented individually, often in pairs or sets assembled gradually over time.
Most of the work behind them — sourcing, cutting, and years of familiarity with miners, dealers, and cutters — remains invisible to the visitor.
Which is as it should be.
