History of SS Enterprises
Since its inception in the 1970s, SS Enterprises has grown from a small family venture into a distinguished name in the global gemstone trade. Founded with a deep understanding of gemstones, the business has evolved from raw material procurement to in-house cutting and manufacturing, ensuring exceptional quality and precision.
1971 – Establishing the Legacy
What began as a modest gemstone trading venture in Pitolian Ka Chowk in 1971 soon laid the foundation for a thriving global enterprise. With a sharp focus on emeralds, the company steadily built a reputation for quality sourcing and precise assortment. By the 1980s, SS Enterprises expanded its operations, establishing direct sourcing networks in Brazil and Zambia to procure superior-quality rough emeralds.
1984 – Expanding Global
Footprint
Expansion into international markets commenced with direct sourcing from Brazil and Zambia. This pivotal move strengthened the company’s foothold in high-quality emerald procurement.
1993 – Advancing Expertise & Global Reach
A phase of accelerated growth saw increased trade volume, deeper global collaborations and the refinement of gemstone cutting techniques. The company solidified its reputation for delivering precision-cut calibrated emeralds to a growing clientele.
2005 – Strengthening Supply Chain with Sakota Mines
In 2005, SS Enterprises reached a pivotal milestone with the launch of Sakota Mines, securing direct access to premium-quality rough emeralds. This strategic expansion reduced reliance on third-party suppliers, allowing the company to maintain tighter quality control, ensure ethical sourcing, and enhance gemstone traceability.
With a steady supply of high-grade roughs, SS Enterprises further refined its cutting, calibration, and finishing processes, ensuring consistent quality across global markets. This development reinforced the company’s position as a leader in precision-cut emeralds, catering to international jewelers and manufacturers with unmatched consistency.
2022 & Beyond – Expanding Global Reach & Retail Vision
By 2022, SS Enterprises expanded into key global trading hubs, strengthening its presence in Hong Kong, the USA and Europe. This strategic growth reinforced its position as a leading supplier of precision-cut emeralds, serving top jewelers and manufacturers worldwide. With an unwavering commitment to quality, ethical sourcing, and precision craftsmanship, the company continued to set new benchmarks in the gemstone industry.
Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, SS Enterprises is gearing up to enter the retail sector, bringing its decades of gemstone expertise directly to consumers. The company plans to introduce exclusively curated collections featuring certified emeralds and bespoke jewelry, offering clients access to high-quality, ethically sourced gemstones. This expansion marks a transformational step, blending its rich legacy with a modern retail approach, ensuring that the finest emeralds reach both industry professionals and discerning buyers alike.
