Precious stones are created deep in the earth through processes and coincidences that can only be called miraculous. This is why they are very rare. And why those places on earth producing the finest stones are so famous. In its new Origins Collection, renowned Swiss jewellers the House of Gübelin takes clients on a journey to some of the world’s most legendary gem locations.
When we refer to fine gemstones as miracles of nature, it is more than just a figure of speech. It takes a truly miraculous set of circumstances deep in the earth to produce a precious stone, and even more miracles for it to be brought close enough to the surface to be mined. That is why gemstones are so rare, and why the few places on earth which consistently produce the finest gems are so celebrated.
In its new Origins Collection, Gübelin invites lovers of fine jewellery to tour some of the most important and fabled gemstone locations in the world through exquisite pieces of jewellery. Whether a fine platinum ring with a deep blue Kashmir sapphire, earrings with sparkling red rubies from Burma, or a dramatic necklace featuring a lush green emerald from the fabled mines of Colombia each handmade masterpiece takes the wearer on a journey of adventure and discovery.
