Who we serve
For private individuals and family offices.
Discerning private individuals, collectors and family offices who understand physical colored gemstones as a discreet complement to their wealth — not speculation, but substance.
Why colored gemstones
Three reasons that convince our clients.
Real diversification
Equities, bonds, real estate — and then what? Colored gemstones offer a physical asset class with low correlation to traditional markets. No counterparty risk, no printing press.
Discretion & portability
A ruby worth CHF 500,000 fits in the palm of a hand. Physical gemstones offer a discreet form of wealth preservation — outside the banking system, without public registers.
Generational transfer
Colored gemstones endure across generations. Many of our stones have changed hands over centuries — appreciating in value along the way. A tangible asset that can be inherited without infrastructure.

From a single stone to a portfolio mandate.
From approx. CHF 20,000
Single-stone investments

Process
Five steps — from conversation to custody.
01
Initial conversation
Confidential discussion about your goals, time horizon and risk appetite — complimentary and without obligation.
02
Pre-selection
We identify suitable stones / portfolios from our network — typically approx. 40% below market prices.
03
Certification & appraisal
Every stone is certified by independent laboratories (SSEF, GRS, SIG) and appraised by a recognised expert (GfD).
04
Acquisition & custody
Once approved, the gemstone is secured for you and, if desired, stored in a Swiss vault — with complete documentation.
05
Ongoing stewardship
Regular valuation updates, market reports and, when needed, resale support including through our auction house network.
Anonymized case study
Private client, Southern Germany.
An entrepreneur sought a discreet tangible asset outside the banking system — without public registration, without counterparty risk. After a confidential initial meeting, he acquired a portfolio of five rubies and sapphires over 18 months.
All stones were certified by SSEF and GRS and held in a Swiss bonded warehouse. Two years later, we facilitated the resale of one stone through an international auction house — at a value significantly above the entry cost.
Switzerland as a location
Why Switzerland — and why it matters to you.
Legal certainty
Switzerland offers a stable, internationally recognized legal system — the foundation for long-term tangible asset strategies.
Political neutrality
Political stability and neutrality make Switzerland one of the safest locations for physical value storage worldwide.
Tax efficiency
Bonded warehouses enable VAT-neutral custody — a structural advantage for international investors.
Culture of discretion
A tradition of confidentiality deeply rooted in Swiss financial and trading culture.
Exclusive distribution & partnership
Growth through trust.
Through our exclusive distribution, deliberately open only to selected partners, we grow primarily through referrals from satisfied clients.
In collaborative partnership, we support families in passing on their wealth stably and securely across generations, often across centuries.
Our family office places long-term partnerships at the centre, not short-term returns. Our ambition is to create trust, reliability and sustainable added value.
Minimum investment: approx. CHF 20,000 (single stone). Portfolio mandates from CHF 100,000. Family office structuring individually.
