ORIGEN

Gemstones

The big three, known intimately.

As a GIA-trained gemologist with over 10 years in the trade, I have extensive knowledge of all three of the great coloured gemstones — emeralds, sapphires and rubies.

Our speciality

Emeralds

Colombian emeralds are at the heart of Origen. Years at CDTEC in Bogotá and in the mining regions of Muzo, Chivor and Gachalá shaped how we judge colour, clarity and character.

The big three

Sapphires

From deep blues to softer and fancy colours, we help you understand colour, tone and quality so you can choose a sapphire with confidence.

Rubies

We guide you through colour, saturation and clarity to find a ruby with real presence, whether for a finished piece or a bespoke design.
