Rare & Unique Gemstone Jewellery

As with all precious gemstones, the value is going to be dictated by the 4 C’s, click here to see our buying guide, which are Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Colour. The higher quality all these characteristics in a gemstone, then the higher the value. If the colour is too deep, dark blue sapphire can appear almost black, so it is less valuable.

Welcome to Bespoke Gems and the wonderful world of coloured gemstones. Some gemstones are too fragile for wear or use and yet they are faceted because of their beauty and rarity. These gemstones are known as collectors' stones and are prized by individual collectors and museums. They present a challenge to the cutter because of their softness, perfect cleavage or sensitivity to heat or light. Quartz Quartz is the most common mineral, present in a wide range of rocks and gemstones. We offer expert advice and guidance in the all important diamond and gemstone selection prior to design and manufacturing.
Head 750km south-west of Darwin and you’ll find the Newry fossicking area on dirt-swept Newry Station. The site is famous for being one of only two places on Earth where zebra rock, also known as Kimberley siltstone, has been found. Topaz, aquamarine and smoky quartz were once of little value to tin miners who worked this area, about 280km north-west of Townsville. It’s no surprise then that nice specimens have been found near old mine sites close to the banks of the Elizabeth and O’Briens creeks.
Garnet – The birthstone of January, its namesake is derived from the Latin word for ‘grain’ due to its rounded crystals, which also reminds you of a pomegranate’s red kernels. Garnet has a beautiful glassy lustre and is usually thought to have red or wine red colour. A red garnet with a tinge of purple and a reddish brown hue are also commonly seen. Garnet can also come in some shades of orange and many other colours including rare colour-change material. For those that have their own rough gemstones I offer assessment, bespoke gemcutting and lapidary services including repairs to damaged stones, repolishing old worn gemstones and recutting commercial and native cut gems.

The best sapphire rings, weather it be for an engagement ring or any high quality piece of designer jewellery really comes down to a matter of personal taste.
