Gembridge, the digital marketplace for gemstones, has launched a new collection inspired by the popular movie “Out of Africa.” The collection is focused on coloured gemstones found only in Africa, including tourmalines, tsavorites, aquamarines, and spessartines. Gembridge’s Commercial Director, Jean Jureidini, explained that the “Out of Africa” collection is a love affair with Africa, reflecting the continent’s rich array of rare and beautiful gemstones.
Apart from diamonds, Africa is one of the richest continents when it comes to hosting a large variety of coloured gemstones, with many deposits located in eastern Africa such as Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Madagascar. Gembridge is offering an exquisite assortment of stones, each accompanied by a Gembridge report stating its origin in Africa, and outlining key specifications such as colour, cut, and carat weight.
In addition to loose gemstones, Gembridge also offers a bespoke service where customers can have their gemstone purchases crafted into jewellery designs of their own choosing. Jean Jureidini, an experienced jeweller, said, “Our team of professionals would be more than delighted to customise your stone for you to tell a story, or symbolise a special date.”
Jureidini has also curated a selection of gemstones, which include a green tourmaline, a soft pink tourmaline, an untreated tsavorite, and a well cut and proportioned baby blue aquamarine. These stones are being offered at affordable prices and are ideal for bespoke rings, necklaces, and brooches.
