Our history and mission<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\tWe are a small but handy company that specializes in selling natural cut gemstones\n. Our goal is to provide our clients with the highest quality stones at reasonable prices,\nso that we are able to satisfy both discerning customers and investors as well as novice collectors.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tE-GEMS is primarily engaged in the trade of precious natural cut stones. We specialize mainly in stones from tropical Africa (Tanzania, Mozambique, Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, etc.) and Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). We also try to obtain gemstones for our customers from completely new and unconventional areas (e.g. Greenland and others). At the same time, we are also intensively monitoring the situation at old, now exhausted sites to see if new material of sufficiently good quality can be faceted.\n\nWe source quality gemstones directly from mines around the world, both from owners and small-scale miners. The raw material is then processed mostly by Czech gemstone cutters. We 100% guarantee the natural origin of the stone and we also guarantee the geographical origin. The stones are not treated in any way (annealing to improve colour, clarity, irradiation, colouring, etc.) and if they are, this fact and the type of treatment is always indicated.\n

Our customers are:<\/h2>\n
    \n \t
  • collectors of precious stones<\/li>\n \t
  • jewellery designers, jewellers and goldsmiths<\/li>\n \t
  • those interested in investment gemstones<\/li>\n \t
  • lovers of precious stones<\/li>\n \t
  • Museums<\/li>\n \t
  • gemological laboratories (which need comparative material for their collections)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Because of our close association with gemology, we also offer a range of instruments and aids, including literature for gemstone identification.\n\nBecause of our popularity of old jewellery, we do not forget about restorers. It is possible to find, or even order, the cutting of old Czech garnets for your antique jewellery in which they are missing. We also offer marcasite routs, diamond routs, small turquoise muggles, beads, etc.\n\nWe can provide you with an expert opinion for all gemstones offered here.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Ethical mining and fair access<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\tIn many countries around the world, gemstone mining is controlled by the military or drug gangs. Mines often operate in inhumane conditions and without regard for the environment. The gemstones we offer come from small local miners, most of whom we know personally. You will not find conflict stones here. That is why we do not offer ivory, red coral or endangered animal teeth in our portfolio, although these materials are in great demand in the world. We also do not buy stones in markets where their origin cannot be verified.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Who is behind e-gems<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\tIng. Kamila Jungmannov\u00e1<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\tPractically all of my personal and professional life I have been devoted to stones in various forms.\nSince I studied environmental protection (J. E. Purkyn\u011b University\nin \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem), it is important to me that the stones we offer are obtained from nature\nwith respect not only for the environment, but also for the people who mine or further process them. My colleagues and I usually personally select the precious\nstones at sites around the world.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    With whom we cooperate<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\tRNDr. Radek Hanus, Ph.D. EurGeol.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\tDr. Hanus is one of the few forensic experts in the field of precious metals and stones in the Czech Republic. During his\nprofessional life he has written a number of books on gemstones and scientific articles published\nusually in foreign scientific journals (with impact factor). For almost all gemstones offered by us\n, we verify their authenticity for us. His services are also regularly used\nby the Assay Office and many museums not only in the Czech Republic but also in Europe.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
