The legacy of Emerald since the 1970s
The journey of SS Gemstone in the ocean of emerald!
In the vivid streets of Johri Bazar, Jaipur, in the 1970s, a whirling revolution was taking shape, one that would echo across continents and define the future of emerald trade. SS Gemstone was born from the rooted grandeur, precision, and a deep, intimate understanding of the earth’s most precious green gemstone, the regal emerald.
A gleam in the stone- 1970s
Starting with a modest trading venture in the heart of Jaipur, SS Gemstone grew into a cornerstone of trust within the gemstone industry. The founder of SS Gemstone grasped the beauty and regality of emeralds, how the king of gemstones turns the nature, timing, and tradition in the best way possible.
Early years of SS Gemstone were built on the long days spent south sorting through roughs, seeking perfection in imperfection, and refining the art of selection. A story that evokes legacy in crafting and trading brilliance.
Reaching the distant lands- 1984
In the 1980s, SS Gemstone took a big leap, establishing direct sourcing relationships from Brazil and Zambia, two of the world’s most prosperous emerald-producing nations. Securing the pacts, forging in a remote mine, over a shared vision of authenticity and quality.
This groundbreaking move ensured SS Gemstones had access to some of the finest rough emeralds on earth. It gave them a seat at the global table as torchbearers of transparency and excellence.
Precision meets passion- 1993
With the world opening up and global trade accelerating, SS Gemstone entered its most defining phase. It was leaning more towards the transformation. Rough stones were brought to life through precise cuts and calibrated finishes. SS Gemstone’s facility became a hub of craftsmanship, where every facet was aligned with an unwavering pursuit of perfection.
By the early 90s, SS gemstone had quietly but firmly etched its name among the global elite in gemstone supply, becoming the go-to partner for jewelers and manufacturers who demanded nothing less than excellence.
From mines to mastery, SS Gemstone carries forward a timeless emerald legacy built on trust.
From Mines to Mastery- 2005
Then came a watershed moment: the founding of Sakota Mines. No longer reliant on an external source, SS Gemstone had secured its direct line to premium emerald roughs. A strategic approach to reclaiming control allows for tighter quality standards, ethical sourcing, and end-to-end traceability.
Across oceans and into homes - 2022
In the wake of 2022, SS Gemstone expanded its wings to new geographies, Hong Kong, the USA, and Europe, reinforcing its global presence and forming deeper connections with international jewelers and luxury houses.
A New Chapter Unfolds- 2025
As the company steps into 2025, it is preparing for yet another evolution, this time, into the world of retail. Ages of sourcing, cutting, and supplying now converge into a new vision to bring the finest certified emeralds directly to consumers.
The Heart of a Stone, the Soul of a Legacy
What makes SS Gemstones truly remarkable is not just the size of its trade or the gleam of its stone, but the quiet consistency with which it has honored its roots. From the narrow lanes of the Pink City to Global showcases, its story is one of patience, principle, and pursuit.
