We believe strong supply chains are built on strong relationships and common values.
Nineteen48 works with suppliers, projects and organisations that share our commitment to transparency, responsible sourcing and fair practices. By partnering with businesses whose values align with our own, we can offer a wider range of responsibly sourced gemstones, whilst maintaining confidence in their origins and journey.
Ethical Gem Suppliers Group
Nineteen48 is a member of the Ethical Gem Suppliers Group alongside Capricorn Gems and Fair Trade Gemstones.
Together, these organisations promote full supply chain transparency, responsible sourcing and improved standards within the coloured gemstone industry. While each company operates independently, all share a commitment to supporting responsible and supportive gemstone supply chains and helping jewellers make fully informed sourcing and purchasing decisions.
Trusted Partners
Alongside our own sourcing network, we work with a number of trusted suppliers and initiatives, including:
- Capricorn Gems
- Fair Trade Gemstones
- Moyo Gems
- Rubyfair
These partnerships have been developed over many years. They help us offer a diverse range of gems from around the world while maintaining the values that are fundamental to how Nineteen48 operates.

- Full transparency and traceability
- Fair and respectful business relationships
- Support for mining and cutting communities
- Commitment to responsible sourcing

By working with suppliers who share these principles, we can continue to offer gemstones that are sourced with care, responsibility and confidence.
