Owned at source. Cut to order.
Provenance guaranteed.

We are an Afghan house trading emerald from the Panjshir Valley and tourmaline from Nuristan and Kunar. We buy directly from the people who dig, cut the material ourselves, and export it under our own name. The company is registered in Dubai, so the contract and the invoice come from one place wherever the stones travel. There is no broker chain between the mine and your bench, and nothing is shipped — every delivery is made by hand. Large organisations and large deals. All negotiations, viewings and settlements are conducted in person.
