The 2025 Himalayan Aquamarine Catalogue
Browse 1,200+ certified Nepalese aquamarine — every stone present in our Kathmandu workshop today, photographed under daylight, and shipped with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Each piece is held for you on inquiry, never auto-purchased.
A note from the workshop
Every stone on this page is on our bench in Kathmandu.
Aquamarine Nepal was founded in 1978 by master cutter Hari Bhattarai in Patan. We are the only vertically integrated gemstone house in Nepal — mine recovery, lapidary cutting, and certification happen under one roof, staffed by three in-house GIA Graduate Gemologists. That integration is why our prices average 58% below comparable US retail, and why every stone we ship arrives with full provenance documentation.
This catalogue operates on an inquiry-led model: you select a stone, add it to your inquiry, and our concierge confirms availability, ships reserve photography, and arranges secure transit before any payment is captured. There is no checkout cart designed to push you toward an impulse purchase — gemstones reward patience.

Filter taxonomy
Refine by seven dimensions.
Our catalogue is not a paginated list — it is a faceted archive. The seven filter dimensions below are the same language our gemologists use at the bench, so the result of any combination corresponds to a real, photographable subset of inventory. Filters compose; you can apply as many as you wish.
Each filter is drawn from a controlled vocabulary maintained by our GIA-trained staff. We do not use vague descriptive grades; every value resolves to a measured attribute or a documented mine origin.
