Sourcing & Traceability
Kito Gems intends to source gemstones through legitimate, traceable supply chains and authorised mineral suppliers, with an emphasis on quality, authenticity and dependable commercial relationships.
Our sourcing standards
- We buy only from licensed or otherwise authorised suppliers.
- We keep records of the supplier, date and source of each parcel.
- We state whether a stone is natural, and identify treatments where relevant.
- We make origin claims only when we can substantiate them.
- We list only stones we can genuinely source or demonstrate. Listings do not mean every stone is in stock.
Verification
Identification and grading are carried out through appropriate independent gemmological verification where applicable, and documentation accompanies each sale.
