For jewelers, importers & ateliers
A private B2B channel for qualified boutique jewelers — calibrated stones, signed certificates, and the same atelier pricing we've offered trade partners since 1984.
Why Direct
A typical aquamarine passes through four to six intermediaries between the mine face and your bench — each one adding margin, sometimes recutting, almost never certifying. By the time a stone reaches a wholesale broker in New York or Bangkok, its provenance has been smoothed into a generic lot line and its price inflated accordingly.
Aquamarine Nepal is vertically integrated under a single roof in Patan: we purchase rough directly from Nepalese and Pakistani miners, our three GIA Graduate Gemologists cut, grade, and certify in-house, and we ship the finished stone to your bench. The supply chain shrinks from six pairs of hands to one. That is why our trade members pay, on average, 58% less than comparable calibrated aquamarine at US retail — and why every stone still arrives with a signed Certificate of Authenticity and a provenance map naming the originating region.
Six steps. One workshop. No intermediary margin in between.
Trade Member Benefits
01
Volume breaks at USD 1,500 / 5,000 / 15,000 per quarter, applied automatically to your account. Pricing is per-carat and reset quarterly against current mine output — never against a stale inventory feed.
02
Begin with a single USD 1,500 parcel — we curate it for shape, size range, and color consistency so a new member can test the supply chain on a manageable order before scaling into calibrated bulk.
03
Established members in good standing (three paid orders, twelve months active) qualify for NET-30 terms on request, with a one-page credit agreement signed by our Kathmandu office. No factoring, no third-party lender.
04
Every order ships from our Patan workshop insured for full value via DHL Express or FedEx International Priority, with a complete commercial invoice, HS-coded customs declaration, and a country-of-origin certificate your broker will accept without follow-up.

GIA Graduate Gemologists on staff — the only such team in Nepal
Member of the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA) since 2003. Featured in Jewelers' Circular Keystone's 2022 "Rising Houses" list. Named "Best Online Gemstone Retailer — Asia" by the Asian Jewellery Excellence Awards, 2023.
|We used to buy calibrated aquamarine through a New York broker who had a broker, who had a broker. Switching to Aquamarine Nepal cut our per-carat cost by roughly half and gave us a piece of paper we could actually show clients — a real provenance map, signed by a GIA gemologist, naming the region. The paperwork alone changed how our showroom talks about the stones.
Direct vs. Broker Chain
A typical 1.20 ct Santa Maria aquamarine, eye-clean, calibrated round brilliant. Not the cheapest stone we sell — the cleanest illustration of what direct sourcing actually changes.
