About
Who am I?
I am a trader and expert in investment emeralds. My strength lies in discretion and in a family know-how handed down since 1962.
Coming from a family of hard-working emerald miners based in Zambia, I grew up in the heart of this precious stone.
The trade is a demanding one, requiring extensive travel, significant personal investment, solid gemological expertise and a thorough knowledge of stone cutting. In the ever-changing world of jewelry, it’s essential to stay informed and up to date.
Through my travels and apprenticeships around the world, I have acquired a unique expertise. Diversifying your investments is, in my opinion, an essential strategy.
Emeralds are rare, precious and profitable, and their value is constantly rising. Properly purchased, it becomes what I call “green gold”.
All my emeralds are certified by renowned laboratories such as Gübelin (Lucerne) and SSEF (Basel), guaranteeing their authenticity and exceptional quality.
I’m one of the few traders in the world to own 0.01% of the purest emeralds, with no oil, no resin, and all-natural brilliance and luster. These exceptional stones are sourced directly from our mines, with no intermediaries.
