About Us

The Story Behind Every Stone

In a world of mass production and synthetic shortcuts, we chose a different path one rooted in authenticity, respect for the earth, and the preservation of human craftsmanship.

Single Sourced Gems was founded with a simple but powerful idea: that a gemstone should be as true as the story it carries. Our journey didn’t begin in an office, but in the wild riverbeds and mountain ranges of Southeast Asia, where nature quietly hides her rarest treasures.

A Journey That Begins at the Source

Our story starts at the Lost Two Kilo Mine, a small, artisanal mining site in the Kingdom of Thailand. This is not a mechanized operation. There are no drills, no dynamite only local miners using traditional alluvial techniques, gently extracting gemstone rough from ancient river gravels. It's a practice rooted in patience, deep knowledge of the land, and respect for natural cycles.

Unlike conventional gemstone sellers, we don’t work through layers of middlemen. We are there on the ground, building direct relationships with miners and cutters. This hands-on approach ensures traceability, ethical sourcing, and fair compensation at every stage of the supply chain.

Every gem we offer is untreated, unheated, and unaltered exactly as it was formed by the earth.

Honoring Generational Craftsmanship

Once mined, the rough gemstones are entrusted to legacy artisan families generational cutters and polishers who possess centuries-old proprietary knowledge. Each stone is shaped, one facet at a time, using hand-held tools and traditional methods. There are no mass-cutting machines. No shortcuts. Just precision, care, and a deep respect for the material.

We work primarily with Black Spinel, a stone known not only for its lustrous, mirror-like surface, but for its rarity and durability. In its purest form, it rivals the brilliance of precious stones but what makes it truly special is how uncompromisingly natural it remains in our hands.

What Makes Us Different

Single-Sourced Only

All gemstones come from one verified origin — the Lost Two Kilo Mine or trusted partners in Thailand and Cambodia.

No Treatments. Ever.

Our gems are never heat-treated, dyed, or chemically altered.

Artisan-Cut

Every stone is hand-cut by master lapidaries using traditional techniques.

Ethical & Transparent

We uphold fair wages, environmentally safe mining, and full transparency.

One-of-a-Kind

No two gems are ever the same. Each carries its own story, its own shape, and its own natural character.

More Than Jewelry — A Legacy You Can Wear

We don’t just sell gemstones. We offer a piece of the world’s natural beauty, ethically preserved and artistically elevated. Each product you see from a single faceted spinel to our signature Maya Nazar Charm represents a journey that spans rivers, families, cultures, and generations.

Our mission is to bring you stones with soul pieces that don’t just sparkle but speak, carrying with them the truth of where they come from and the integrity of how they were shaped.

Thank you for choosing to wear something real.

With Gratitude,
