News from Brazil: Emeralds, anyone?

Hello, everyone. George here, checking in from the Nova Era township where there has very recently been a big emerald strike from the nearby “Rocha” mine. A lot of emerald was taken out and we were here to buy it!

Working with the miners

We bought several kilos of rough and are having it sawed and preformed here locally where they understand the material best. The finer quality will be faceted here and the rest in India.

 

Examining emerald

Our team of buyers has many years of experience buying directly from the mines--as well as strong relationships we have built with expert slicers, preformers and cutters. JTV has the "know how" to bring the real gemstone values directly to you.  

 

Gorgeous emerald crystal

Keeping our customers supplied with these incredible gemstone deals is no easy task! In most cases we buy small productions that must build up for many months before we have enough material to offer on television. All of this work and then these wonderful gems will often be gone in one or two showings! This is mainly because our customers understand gemstones better than the general public and know good value and rarity when they see it.

Tonight, in the mountains of Brazil, looking up at the Southern Cross in the sky, l realize we must continue buying rough directly from the mouth of the mine and spend the time it takes for us to continue bringing such exceptional offers to our JTV family.   

If all goes well I will have some good stuff on unheated aquamarine soon. In the meantime we have a lot of preforming and cutting to oversee!

Um abraco,

- George

Beautiful Brazil!
