A Note From Jake
JAKE THOMPSON MANAGING DIRECTOR
The
British summer is almost over and we are embracing the change that my favourite season Autumn brings.
Our Carnival of Jewels celebrates the 450 year old gemstone legacy of Brazil, the original gem paradise. Autumn Harvest is a showcase of the natural colour palette of the season. Autumn also sees us celebrate 20 years of Gemporia and our incredible community. Ahead of our October birthday we will be showcasing select designs from the birthday event during our Priority Access. Don’t miss out!
Off-screen, we look forward to welcoming some of our collectors to our studios on the 18th September as part of our inaugural customer day. If you are interested in joining future events, please email social@gemporia.com for further information.
Remember, you can watch us anytime, anywhere with our Gemporia app. Download it now from your favourite app store.
Wishing you a transformative autumn.

Jeff Hayden’s Top Picks
Gemporia presenter Jeff Hayden is vibrant, stylish, and passionate about gemstone jewellery. Collecting gems since the age four, Jeff has dedicated his career to showcasing nature’s finest treasures. Here, he shares his favourite Gemporia pieces and what he loves about them.
TIGER’S EYE WATCH
I love (and own) this watch. I will be wearing mine this autumn, as Tiger’s Eye is trending under the Pantone colour ‘Sunburn’.
FCCA69
GRANDIDIERITE MIDAS PENDANT
Grandidierite is my favourite gemstone! It’s one of the rarest gemstones in our vault and is on trend for autumn. The Pantone colour ‘Rain Forest’ makes this piece a must-have for the new season.
KINK60
RUBY ZOISITE BANGLE
This bangle is a clash of Corundum and Zoisite, a beautiful antithesis of green and red, and a perennial beauty.
OUGP07
FIRE NANHONG AGATE NECKLACE & BRACELET SET
Muted reds are another autumn trend under the Pantone colour ‘Cherry Red’.
LCMS45 & RZMS46
LONDON BLUE TOPAZ RING
My favourite colour of my birthstone to wear! Sadly, the high-grade Marambaia material from Brazil that we stock is becoming scarce.
LHVJ23
SET OF 3 CHAINS
I can always use more chains, and I know many of our collectors are the same. Gemporia sets really help to satiate that chain craving.

Foley
Hi everyone! I’m Jess Foley if we haven’t met before. I’m your live TV host, currently presenting primarily on the 3-7pm show, although you’re likely to see me covering on other time slots throughout the day too!
I have a huge passion for nature’s treasures, and I feel so privileged to be able to educate and
share our Gemporia journey with you on live television.
We’ve never been able to design anything like this before, and they are six months in the making !
I’m thrilled to announce two exciting projects fast approaching, one of which is my new collection of birthstone bangles! We’ve never been able to design anything like this before, and they are six months in the making! They will be launching as part of the very highly anticipated 20th Birthday preview event in September.
My second project, so to speak, is a very personal one... I’m expecting my first baby, a little girl, due in November. I can’t wait to share my journey into motherhood with you!
See you on air very soon,
SEPTEMBER’S BIRTHSTONE
Sapphire is unbeatable when it comes to breathtaking clarity and world-class colour. As one of only four precious gemstones, it is a must-have gem in any collection, and its kaleidoscope of colours and fascinating history have left people speechless for millennia. Sapphire has undoubtedly made its mark on history through the ages and is a firm favourite among a wide range of collectors, from gem enthusiasts to royalty.
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO SAPPHIRE THAN MEETS THE EYE. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ITS HISTORY, COLOURS, AND BEAUTY, READ OUR BLOG.

My all-time favourite gemstone for Autumn is Labradorite. I adore its beautiful iridescence and it’s the very first gemstone I bought when I started working at Gemporia nearly 10 years ago!
I’m in love with the pairing of vibrant green Ambilobe Sphene with fiery, brown-toned Morafeno Sphene. Together, they evoke the beauty of autumn leaves colourful transformation.
