Services

Our main service is the distribution of loose coloured gemstones and opals. We also offer a range of services to the industry that go above and beyond what you would expect from your run-of-the-mill gemstone merchant. Perhaps the main thing that sets us apart is our range of cutting. We offer in-house cutting from two master cutters who work exclusively for American Gemscorp. This allows us to cut to customised sizes either from our selection of rough material or to recut larger faceted stones that are deemed suitable by the client. This is what separates our gemstones from the sea of commercial cutting that floods the industry.

Carat weight maximisation is sacrificed in favour of the optimum cutting angles necessary to bring out the brilliance in each individual stone. Gemstone identification is something we can generally offer for free if it is not too troublesome. Fortunately for the client, it satisfies our curiosity to have a range of different gemstones pass under our noses! Our accredited gemologists have access to an in-house lab complete with microscope, refractometer, spectrometer, polariscope, Chelsea filter and a specific gravity machine.
