A Note From Jake
JAKE THOMPSON MANAGING DIRECTOR
As we approach the last few weeks of winter, we anticipate the warm weather’s imminent return with a month of events highlighting gems from much more exotic locations!
We’re starting February in Arizona, where we’ll be feeding all the latest gemstone news back to you during our annual Tucson event. We’ll then be hopping continents for Out of Africa and exploring the area’s dazzling array of high-quality gemstones – including a brand-new Diamond collection from Botswana! The Far East is a region that mirrors Africa with its gem-rich landscapes, and we’re honouring this throughout our Eastern Elegance event before travelling to South America for Parade of Jewels, a vibrant occasion full of colour, energy, and spirit.
Whether you’re shopping for a luxury treat for yourself or a Valentine’s Day gift for someone special, I hope our February issue offers you precisely what you’re looking for.

Silver Prices Are on the Rise: Is Now
the Best Time to Buy?
With prices trending upward, Silver isn’t just a beautiful metal to have in your jewellery collection—it’s a smart buy, too. Silver jewellery is known for its understated elegance and effortless versatility, and it is perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Increasing prices of Gold are constantly discussed, but Silver and its steady rise in cost aren’t highlighted as often. So, if you’ve been thinking about adding Silver to your collection, there really is no time like the present.
Our Silver edit highlights pieces that make the most of this shining staple and offer a range of timeless styles and designs to keep for yourself or give to someone you love.

A Partner’s Voice:
Abi Brown
The reason I love social media is the way it can connect people across the world…
H ey! I’m Abi, the Social Media Executive at the Gemporia Partnership!
As a fairly new member of the team, Gemporia has ignited my passion for gemstones; not only have I begun to appreciate the beauty within the crazy range of gemstones we have to offer, but I have been truly stunned by the vast scope of the world we cover, in both gemstones and connections across the globe.
Now, it’s my turn to take things international! I am so excited about the opportunity to be travelling to the Tucson Gem Trade Show in Arizona. Many of our fabulous customers (whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting through social media and in person) will have seen coverage of Tucson before, but we plan to bring you the experience in a completely different way this time. The reason I love social media is the way it can connect people across the world, and we want to make our trip feel like an immersive experience.
We want to hear from you: what would you like to see?
Both Lindsey and I will be doing real-time live streams to chat with you and answer questions about the Tucson Gem Show. We will be on Direct Message throughout the trip to chat with you, and we will be using our Instagram and Facebook stories to give you a look behind-thescenes at what a day at the trade show looks like.
So, head over to our social channels, drop us a follow, and say hi!

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT FAVE PIECE IN YOUR COLLECTION?

My current favourite is a beautiful Tanzanite ring set in 9K Gold. It was a birthday gift from my boyfriend and the first piece of jewellery he ever bought me, so wearing it always brings back happy memories.

My favourite piece is a recent purchase – a Champagne Diamond ring in 9K Gold. It’s sparkly and beautiful, and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!
My favourite piece is from Amelia’s collection from a few years ago. It’s a Tarot card pendant with Malachite and accented with Zircon detailing.
