12 entries shown

The entries below are illustrative — they show how the register reads, not what is in the vault today.

Weights, grades and yield assessments are stated as measured and assessed by us, and are confirmed in writing on invoice. Laboratory reports are supplied with the goods or arranged prior to delivery. Everything is subject to prior sale. Wholesale lots are quoted per carat across the whole parcel; we do not break lots.

The province a stone came from is guaranteed in writing on the invoice, and nothing we sell is treated.

Our own material

A parcel, as it comes

Emerald crystal out of the Panjshir, laid out on the sheet it was weighed on. This is how a parcel arrives before anything is sorted, graded or cut — our own material, our own footage.

Nothing here is treated, and nothing is staged. Every stone in the parcel is clean to the unaided eye; what is sorted out at this stage is sorted out on size and shape, not on clarity.

Every shape we cut

The full range

Twenty-five shapes, cut to order from our own rough. Each one here is the real geometry, traced as you watch it — not a drawing of it. Ratios, depths and the weight each shape carries for its size are in the cutting studio.

Not listed

Most of it never reaches this page

What is shown here is a fraction of what moves through the house in a season, and rarely the best of it.

Major stones are placed before they are offered, against a standing list of houses, auction specialists and institutions. Large parcels are frequently committed while still in the province. If you buy at scale, the register is the wrong place to start — tell us what you take, and we will call you first.
