K.V. Gems is a labor of love and appreciative passion for precious and semi-precious gemstones. Established by Mr. Joseph Thomas Belmont and Mrs. Pirapan Belmont in 1984, their vision is now shared by more than 50 staff in what remains a family-run business. We specialize in the highest quality, unheated natural gemstones, working directly with the world’s leading suppliers and buyers.
Our inventory takes in Sapphire, Ruby, and Spinel, as well as semi-precious stones. We take pride in working with and for our valued clients to source exactly what they desire for their high-end jewelry designs and collections.
The first was to source a truly selective inventory of only the highest quality, mined unheated gemstones.
The second commitment was to grow their business based on the nurturing of long-term, personalised relationships with both suppliers and clients. For more than 30 years, these relationships have been built on a solid foundation of trust and integrity.
As a result, our family-run business has differentiated itself within a highly competitive global gems market. Today, K.V. Gems is still headquartered in Bangkok – considered to be the world’s leading cutting and trading hub for gemstones – and employs more than 50 staff.
Every gem is hand selected and we choose only the cleanest and most evenly colored gemstones. We concentrate our sourcing efforts on our niche attention to unheated gemstones.
We are based centrally in the gemstone and diamond district of Bangkok, affording us to keep on top of what is circulating in the market and abreast of the buyers and sellers of various gems. This allows us to fulfill specific requests from our customers should their order be outside of our selective inventory.
Our main cutting facility concentrates on re-cutting larger gemstones; we prioritize the retention of weight while enhancing the color, clarity and shape of our gemstones.
Our second cutting factory is highly mechanized, and is expanding to utilize advanced technology of lasers and robotics, which can cut to the precision of microns. Currently, we produce highly symmetrical facets and exacting proportions for melee gemstones in the size range of 0.8 – 3.5mm.
We tailor our cuts to the needs of our customers.
Sorting is an integral part of the triangle, along with our cutting and sourcing operations, and quality control is paramount. Highly trained, experienced sorting staff work with the purchasing department to ensure the finest selections.
The sorting department is also responsible for finding the right gemstones for very particular and elaborate jewelry designs sought by our clients, while also creating beautiful layouts and pairs so that our customers can work with pre-existing suites. Uniform lots, parcels and sets are also created.
