Gemfields is a world-leading miner of responsible coloured gemstones. Gemfields is the operator
and 75% owner of both the Kagem emerald mine in Zambia (believed to be the world’s single
largest producing emerald mine) and the Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique (one of the most
significant recently discovered ruby deposits in the world). In addition, Gemfields also holds
controlling interests in various other gemstone mining and prospecting licences in Zambia,
Mozambique, Ethiopia and Madagascar.


Gemfields’ outright ownership of Fabergé - an iconic and prestigious brand of exceptional heritage
- enables Gemfields to optimise positioning, perception and consumer awareness of coloured
gemstones through Fabergé designs, advancing the wider group’s “mine and market” vision.


Gemfields has developed a proprietary grading system and a pioneering auction and trading
platform to provide a consistent supply of coloured gemstones to downstream markets, a key
component of Gemfields’ business model that has played an important role in the growth of the
global coloured gemstone sector.
