About Jane
A life long love of gems and minerals sparked the birth of the Treasured Gem back in 2014. Having amassed a huge collection while jewellery making, and knowing I would never be able to use them all in my work, I set out to share them with other artists.
Years spent building strong relationships with trusted suppliers in India enable me to hunt out the best and most unique stones. Always carefully and responsibly chosen, from the country of origin to the welfare of the lapidary artists who polish the gems, you can be assured that I have done the work to ensure the stones you get from The Treasured Gem are as traceable as possible.
