One-of-a-kind pieces set in Bangkok's ateliers. Resizing and custom settings available on request.
Grey Orchid Gems is a one-woman practice. Every stone is selected in person from Bangkok's dealers and cutters — the center of the global colored-stone trade — and offered to a small circle of collectors and clients in the United States.
No mark-up chain, no middlemen. Just stones chosen by a GIA-trained gemologist who graded them by hand.
Color, clarity, and treatment described honestly — the way a gemologist would record them, not the way a marketplace would sell them.
If a stone has been heated, diffused, or treated in any way, you'll read it here before you ever ask. Trust is the whole business.
Fine stones are best discussed directly. Send a note about anything in the collection — or describe what you're looking for — and you'll get certificates, additional photographs, video, and a price.
