How Everything Started
In 2006, I initiated my exploration into the African gemstone market, where serendipity led me to a collaborative venture with the esteemed Late Mr. Gitonga Mbaka. Our partnership was forged with a shared vision of sourcing the finest Tsavorites directly from the gemstone’s primary origins. Through a harmonious working relationship, we endeavoured to elevate the quality and authenticity of our gemstone offerings.
Late Mr. Gitonga Mbaka’s profound expertise and dedication became invaluable assets, contributing significantly to the success of our endeavours. This enduring partnership extended beyond business into a relationship with his family, fostering a deep connection built on trust and shared goals. As of August 2021, I continue to honour and uphold the legacy of our collaborative efforts, ensuring the commitment to excellence in gemstone procurement persists as a testament to our enduring collaboration.
