Cambodian gemstones specialists

We only use natural stones in our jewellery and we specialise in Cambodian gemstones. All the stones have been hand-selected.

Mining and prospecting

We have travelled extensively around Cambodia to meet the people who prospect for the stones or mine them, from the zircon miners of Ratanakiri in the far north-east of the country to the ruby and sapphire prospectors in Pailin.

Conflict-free stones

In some other countries gemstone mining is controlled by the military or drug lords, and some mines are so dangerous that dozens of people can die in a single incident. That’s not the case in Cambodia. Our stones are conflict-free. We buy from individuals and small family businesses.

We don’t stock jewellery made from red coral, turtle shell, ivory, or other materials that are often taken illegally from endangered sources.

Made in Cambodia

Our jewellery is hand made by our own goldsmiths and silversmiths in Phnom Penh.
