Today I had the honor of serving as a master judge for the 5th GUILD Aurora International Gem and Jewelry Competition.

This year’s theme, From Mine to Masterpiece, follows a gemstone from its origin to the finished jewel. The categories reflect that journey: colored gemstones, pearls, gem cutting, jewelry design, finished jewelry, and jade, which joins the competition for the first time in 2026.

Judging asks you to explain, entry by entry, why one color, cut, or piece deserves recognition over another. It is the same reasoning I bring to every stone we source at Caram and every valuation we give.

My thanks to Ruby for the invitation, and to Andy Lucas, for leading such a well-run and rigorous process. Congratulations to every nominee.

— Rahul Jain, Director

Our final day at JGW Hong Kong. Visit us at 7R-28 in the Fine Gem Pavilion to take a closer look at our collection of colored gemstones.

We’re here until the show closes this evening and would be delighted to see you.

JNA’s Show Daily picked three of ours for its Day 1 gemstone roundup: the Lotus Promise ring with its 10-carat padparadscha, a 6-carat neon-blue Paraiba, and the 7-carat Crimson Legacy ruby.

Come visit us at 7R-28, Fine Gem Pavilion, AsiaWorld-Expo.

Packing for JGW. Rubies lead this year, which suits the show — its fortieth edition takes the ruby as its anniversary stone.

What we look for in a red stone has less to do with size than with how it holds color in different light. A stone that stays alive under warm hall lighting and again by the window is rarer than the carat weight suggests, and it is the thing a photograph almost never shows you.

We’re at AsiaWorld-Expo, Fine Gem Pavilion, Booth 7R-28, 14–18 September. Message us if you’d like time set aside.

This September we’re at Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong with emeralds, sapphires, and rubies we’ve spent the season choosing — a few held back for the right hands. It’s a fitting year to lead with red: JGW turns forty, with the ruby as its anniversary stone.

You’ll find us in the Fine Gem Pavilion at Booth 7R-28, AsiaWorld-Expo, 14–18 September. Whether you’re sourcing for a house, building a collection, or after one exceptional stone, tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll have a selection ready.

Message us to arrange a viewing.

I have loved spinels for as long as I have been in this trade. The reds of Mogok held me first, then the cobalt blues coming out of Vietnam — and then, at a Hong Kong show a few years ago, a twenty-carat Mahenge spinel from Tanzania that I have measured pink stones against ever since.

Spinel spent centuries being mistaken for ruby. Today it is very much its own stone, and the reason collectors take it seriously is simple: it reaches the market untreated, and a fine one keeps its color in daylight, where most stones go quiet. That daylight test is the single most useful habit a buyer can bring to any pink gem.

I’ve just published a full guide to judging Mahenge spinel — what the name promises, how it sits beside pink sapphire and padparadscha, and what a lab report can and cannot document. Link in bio.

And if you would rather see the color than read about it: we are at Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong, 14–18 September, Fine Gem Pavilion, Booth 7R-28. Come by with your questions — daylight is not far from the booth.

I am quoted in JCK Magazine this week, in a feature on whether Tanzania’s Mahenge pink spinel is reaching American jewellers again — alongside Christopher Smith of American Gemological Laboratories and Lambert Vissot, who works the deposit.

Mahenge has been treated as finished since the 2007 pocket. At the Bangkok shows late last year, more good material was arriving than that assumption allows for, and I bought accordingly.

Whether that is new mining, old German stock finally moving, or one good pocket working through the trade, nobody selling these stones can tell you with confidence. The piece is honest about that, which is why it is worth reading.

Almost every commission begins with the same question, and the honest answer surprises people: the cost of a bespoke piece is not a number waiting to be quoted. It forms, decision by decision — the stone, the design, the making — and understanding which decisions move it most is what turns a budget into a piece you’ll keep for a generation.

The full article walks through all of it, including the one thing worth deciding before you ever view a stone. Link in bio.
