A commitment to quality and Integrity.

The pursuit of excellence begins with the finest gemstones. Each piece of jewellery we create tells a unique story, and at the heart of each story is the ggemstone. Whether it’s the dazzling brilliance of a diamond or the vibrant hues of a sapphire, the quality and beauty of our gemstones are paramount. But how do we ensure every gemstone we use meets our exacting standards? Here’s a look at the meticulous process behind sourcing the finest gemstones for our bespoke jewellery.

Sourcing gemstones is both an art and a science. At Titcombe Bespoke Jewellery, we go to great lengths to ensure every stone we use is of the highest quality. This commitment to excellence is rooted in two core principles: quality and integrity.

Quality

We only work with gemstones which meet our strict criteria for colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight. Each stone is handpicked to ensure it embodies the characteristics making it truly exceptional.

Integrity

Ethical sourcing is a cornerstone of our business. We believe in the importance of transparency and sustainability, which is why we work with suppliers who adhere to ethical mining practices and responsible sourcing.

The gemstone sourcing process.

The journey of each gemstone from the mine to your jewellery box is a fascinating one. Here’s how we ensure every gemstone we select is of the finest quality:

1. Global Sourcing Partnerships

We have established relationships with some of the most reputable gemstone suppliers around the world. From the diamond mines of South Africa to the sapphire-rich lands of Sri Lanka, we source our gemstones from regions known for producing the best quality stones. Our partners share our commitment to ethical practices and quality assurance, ensuring every gemstone we acquire is not only beautiful but also responsibly sourced.

3. Rare & Unique Gemstones

In addition to classic gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds, we also specialise in sourcing rare and unique stones which are not commonly found in traditional jewellery. Whether you’re looking for a mesmerising alexandrite, known for its colour-changing properties, or a stunning padparadscha sapphire with its rare pink-orange hue, we can find the perfect gemstone to make your bespoke piece truly one-of-a-kind.

2. Stringent Selection Criteria

Selecting the perfect gemstone requires a trained eye and a deep understanding of gemology. Our experts carefully evaluate each stone based on the “Four Cs” (colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight), as well as other factors like origin and rarity. We are particularly focused on sourcing gemstones with vibrant colours, exceptional clarity, and precise cuts maximising their brilliance.

3 Ethical & Sustainable Practices

We are committed to ensuring the gemstones we use are sourced responsibly. This means working with suppliers who uphold ethical labor practices, support local communities, and minimise environmental impact. By choosing ethically sourced gemstones, you can wear your Titcombe Bespoke Jewellery with pride, knowing it reflects your values as well as your style.
