At Nineteen48, we believe that understanding where a gemstone comes from is an essential part of your purchasing decision.
Our gemstones can be traced to specific mines, miners and communities, giving jewellers and gemstone buyers complete confidence in their origins. We provide information about the country, region and source of each gemstone, helping you understand its journey from mine to market.
Through long-term relationships with a small network of trusted miners, cutters and suppliers, we are able to offer a level of transparency that is often difficult to achieve within the coloured gemstone industry.
Alongside gemstones sourced directly through our own network, we also work with carefully selected partners including Capricorn Gems and Fair Trade Gemstones, as well as being part of the Moyo Gems project. These trusted colleagues share our commitment to responsible sourcing, supply chain transparency and full traceability. Such partnerships allow us to offer a wider range of gemstones, whilst maintaining the standards and values that are important to us.
Whether you're searching for a Sri Lankan sapphire, a Tanzanian garnet or an Australian opal, we want you to know as much as possible about where your gemstone comes from.
