A Note From Jake

Our 20th birthday is upon us! I offer the most humble thank you to our community of collectors and partners, whose passion for quality and choice in fine gemstones and jewellery has brought us to this milestone.

20 years ago, our Partnership was founded hoping to change the gemstone jewellery industry, and the line-up this year, curated by our partners, is as bold as our founding mission. Like any great party I expect our birthday will be fun, raucous, and over too quickly.

Enjoy your party!

Steve’s Three Favourite Finds

Gemporia Founder Steve Bennett has a passion for gemstones that stretches back decades. During his time in the industry, he has travelled the world to acquire some of the highest-quality natural treasures – so it’s inevitable that he has a select few favourites!

Speaking to us about his three favourite finds over the last two decades, Steve said:

Over the years, I have had the privilege of visiting so many wonderful countries, and travelling into the most remote areas – many never visited by Westerners before! But honestly, the gemstones came in two groups: the beautiful, timeless minerals of nature, and the wonderful communities and individuals who unearthed them.

I will never forget searching for Spinel in Tanzania, Rubies in Burma, and one of my favourite gems, Kyanite, which took an epic several-day hike in Nepal with Dave Troth and cameraman Connor. We were on some of the most frightening ridges I have ever traversed, high up in the Himalayas

Opal

OCTOBER’S BIRTHSTONE

Opal is a gemstone like no other, with a fascinating history and a miraculous play of colour. Often called the ‘Queen of Gems ’, Opal is renowned for its natural phenomenon known as ‘opalescence ’, where brilliant flashes of red, green, blue, and other colours dance across its surface when exposed to light. Its iridescent beauty makes it one of the most enchanting and mystical of all gemstones, and its allure is recognised and revered by past and present civilisations alike.

Partners’ Voice

O ur Gemporia Partnership has always been about genuine gemstone jewellery – but we would not be where we are today without the effort and dedication of our talented partners.

From our customer service team and jewellery buyers to our marketing department and presenters, every single one of our partners has contributed to our 20 years of success. Here is what some of them had to say about working within the business...

My favourite memory is choosing the perfect ring to propose to my wife with. After careful consideration, I selected a 5.7-carat Csarite engagement ring set in 18K Gold from Gemporia, complete with Diamonds on the shoulders. It’s a 100% natural beauty, it has captivating colour change, and it’s 10,000 times rarer than a Diamond - this made it perfect for my amazing wife-to-be.

I’ve been here nearly ten years, and one of my favorite memories is winning Feefo’s 10 Years of Excellence Award. We were one of only 35 UK businesses to achieve this, and it shows how dedicated our partners are to providing exceptional service. Thank you all for your kind reviews that made it possible!

As for my favourite gemstone, I adore Diamonds - but I enjoy so many others, so my collection just keeps growing! I’ve also helped my son pick a beautiful Diamond and Platinum engagement ring, which obviously worked, as she said yes!

Over the past 20 years at Gemporia, I’ve created countless wonderful memories. Paraíba Tourmaline has always been my favourite gemstone.

When we first opened, I bought my mother a Pink Sapphire ring. Sadly, I lost her a few years ago, but I now wear that ring every day on a chain, keeping it close to my heart. Gemstones can bring so much joy, but it is also fascinating how they become symbols of cherished relationships and memories.
