Who We Are
A house built by collectors, for collectors
Genesis Global began in Singapore in 2012, founded on a private collection of precious gemstones assembled over more than fifteen years. It has grown into a house serving private clients internationally, from its headquarters in Hong Kong, one of the world's great crossroads of the gemstone trade.
The house's strength lies in long established relationships with key precious gem mining companies: rubies, sapphires, emeralds, jadeite and diamonds, sourced close to origin and documented by internationally recognised gemmological laboratories.
Every acquisition is approached the way the founders approach their own: patiently, sceptically, and with the conviction that nature's greatest masterpieces deserve extraordinary care.
Why Genesis
Five things worth knowing about this house
Exceptional Natural Gemstones
Access to some of the world's rarest natural gemstones, through long established relationships with key mining companies, sourced close to origin, never from the middle of the market.
Private High Jewellery
One of one creations conceived around the stone, never the other way round. The gemstone remains the protagonist; the jewellery is its frame.
Knowledge & Education
A house that documents, explains and teaches, through its Journal, its laboratory documentation and its conversations. Knowledge shared freely is the house's strongest credential.
International Relationships
Collectors, exhibitions, laboratories and industry partners across Asia and beyond, a network on public record in the house's archive and press.
The Private Client Experience
Discretion, patience and long term relationships. Consultations begin with your objectives, not with the house's inventory, and they are conducted by appointment only.

Custodians, not executives
Genesis is led by its founders: a former lawyer who collected gemstones for fifteen years before building a house around them, and a service leader whose career began at The Ritz-Carlton and spans two decades of client experience across Asia.
