Martin Tolcher, Gemfields outgoing Chair, commented: “After 15 years as a member of Gemfields’ Board and approaching 5 years as Chair, the time has come for me to step away from the Company in order to bolster Board independence. I am truly delighted to have such a remarkable successor in Bruce and am confident that Gemfields will go from strength to strength under his stewardship.” #RNS here : https://lnkd.in/ec9zCqu5 #GEM #PreciousGemstones

Gemfields’ Mozambican rubies and Zambian emeralds take a starring role in jewellery pieces from international fine jewellery designers. A world-leading miner and marketer of responsible coloured gemstones, Gemfields has brought to auction some exceptional gems - rubies from the Montepuez mine in Mozambique and emeralds from Kagem mine Zambia. Sold in rough form at auctions to leading gem cutters, coloured gems add glamour and impact to earrings, rings and necklaces in a range of styles: from Shachee’s lace designs and GFG’s florals, to Margery Hirschey’s modernist twist, statement pieces from Fehmida Lakhany, African-inspired designs by AYA and Sandy Leong’s elegant forms. And, finally, there is Fabergé – the iconic artist jeweller rich in history and part of the Gemfields Group – whose colourful creations provide a perfect showcase for emeralds and rubies. #emerald #ruby #finejewellery
