Our story

African Precious Gemstones is a family wholesale house dealing in fine rubies, emeralds and sapphires. We buy rough at source in East Africa and follow every stone ourselves: to the cutters in Jaipur and Sri Lanka, to the laboratory, and on to the buyer.

We are registered in Dubai and the United Kingdom, and we work with the trade: jewellers, designers and dealers who want to know exactly where a stone has been.
