About Us

Providing all the high quality gemstones, jewellery findings, tools and supplies you need to take your jewellery making ambitions to the next level.

"I have only just recently begun using The Curious Gem for my jewellery supplies. They provide outstanding service every single time and go above and beyond to help. Their products are high quality and perfect for my jewellery business. Thank you so much."

Where it all started

The Curious Gem was founded in 2007 by Victoria Brown, who was frustrated at not being able to find a reliable source of high quality gemstones and beads for her own jewellery designs. Today we’re a team of over 20 people, based in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. We supply customers across the UK and around the world, who know us for our large range of products, our expert advice, and the fact that we send out their orders quickly, efficiently and with no fuss.

"I highly recommend The Curious Gem. It stocks a great range of quality items and the staff are super helpful. Orders are processed very efficiently and everything comes clearly labelled, making it so easy to keep tabs on what I have and what I need to reorder. I'm happy to be a repeat customer and buy with confidence each time."
